Pray.com announced the premiere of its multimedia podcast, “The Chosen People Season 2,” which is created with artificial intelligence.
The new season will launch on Oct. 7 and deliver a long-form episode each week. The podcast streams on Spotify, Apple, YouTube and the AI Bible Channel.
Pray.com leads the pack when it comes to biblical AI storytelling.
“This is how people will experience Scripture in the future — deep, personal, multi-format, and powered by AI,” said PRAY.COM co-founder Matthew Potter. “Our talented and dedicated team works hard to create this uplifting and inspiring content at a scale that is unmatched in the faith media space, and we are grateful and humbled to be used by God to help people make faith and prayer a priority in their daily lives.”
Part of the podcast’s description reads, “Within these stories lie the essence of being human, wrestling with God, and finding purpose amid tragedy and sin. Awaken your imagination and discover the tales that defined the people of Israel and the prophecies that paved the way for Jesus.”
AI tools allow Pray.com to create high-quality devotionals quickly. Season 1 of “The Chosen People” had over 4 million downloads and was in the top 1% of all podcasts.
The podcast also built a bridge between Christianity and Judaism. It featured voices from Yael Eckstein and Bishop Paul Lanier from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and used immersive sound design.
Companion devotionals will be available at TheChosenPeople.com, and full-length video episodes will be on Pray.com and the AI Bible channel’s YouTube.
