Description
Welcome to Cutting Edge Conversations, the podcast that bridges the dangerous gap between timeless biblical truth and cutting-edge technology. Are you an ambitious Christian woman feeling fragmented by the demands of modern life? Do you desire to go deeper in your faith but feel hesitant about how technology fits into your spiritual journey? You are in the right place.
In a world that often tells women of faith to fear innovation, this podcast is a declaration that technology is not a threat to be feared but a divine tool for discipleship. We stand against shallow "hacks" and watered-down theology, championing deep biblical study and the wise, intentional use of every modern advantage for Kingdom impact.
Hosted by Jacqueline Corley—a Computer Science Professor, author, and visionary—this podcast is the home for the conversations that are shaping the future of faith. Each week, Jacqueline invites you to listen in on powerful discussions with "Kingdom Innovators": pioneering ministry leaders, faith-driven entrepreneurs, brilliant theologians, and culture-shapers who are living at the intersection of faith and the future.
Together, we'll explore practical ways to use AI and tech tools for richer Bible study, uncover how ancient scripture informs modern business and ministry strategy, and learn how to build what works for your unique, God-given purpose. We'll tackle the tough questions and provide the frameworks you need to move from a life of fragmentation to one of powerful, integrated purpose.
If you're ready to activate your divine code and unapologetically pursue your calling with both spiritual depth and strategic innovation, this is the community for you. Subscribe now to Cutting Edge Conversations and join the movement of Christian women who are rising again to make a generational impact.

It is time to reveal the top episode for 2023! This episode is a rebroadcast that was specially recorded for women all over the world who desire to become computer programmers of any kind. As of today, only 28.7% of people in Software Development are women. That must change.
One of the reasons that percentage is so low is because many women lack the confidence needed to take on this role. So, in today's episode, I layout the framework on how women can confidently learn to code, especially if they are in a non-technical career.
