Is AI coming for your job? Ron Mangune won’t pretend it can’t. But he says it will never carry the one thing you bring to the work God gave you — your passion. And that single shift changes everything about how you approach it.

On this episode of the Faith & AI Show, host Dice Gamble sits down with Ron — 20 years in technology, 15 in telecom, who built a support team from three people to thirty. Here’s the twist: he’s not a coder. He just got curious, started asking Claude questions, and ended up building around 20 apps that save his team hours every week. Now he builds voice AI — the kind that can answer a business phone and talk with the caller in their own language.

In this episode, Ron gets into:

• Why you should always start with the problem, not the tool
• How a church with one English-speaking secretary could answer calls from an entire multicultural congregation — each in their own language
• Why every AI tool needs guardrails, and the calls he says should always have a real human on the line
• The mindset he calls “being brave enough to be dumb again”
• What “baptism through fire” taught him about learning by breaking things and trying anyway

If you’ve ever felt like you’re too late, too far behind, or just too “non-technical” to touch AI, this conversation is the permission slip — and the roadmap — to start.
