  <title>Should You Start a Podcast in 2026?</title>
  <description>A few years ago, the question was simple: Is it too late to start a podcast? Now there’s a new fear underneath it. If AI can write a script, generate a voice, edit an episode, and publish content faster than any of us ever could…why would anyone listen to you? Here’s what I believe: AI didn’t make your voice less valuable. It made a real human voice more valuable than ever. In this episode of Christian Podcasting Secrets, I’m revisiting the question of whether you should start a podcast—but through the very different reality we’re living in now. Because the barrier to making a podcast has practically disappeared. But the barrier to making something worth listening to? That’s gone up. And that changes everything. In this episode:   The question you should be asking instead of “Is podcasting too crowded?”   Why the explosion of AI-generated content may actually create an opportunity for human podcasters   The three honest questions I think you should answer before starting a podcast   The difference between wanting to be heard and actually having something to say   Why I believe consistency matters even more in an AI-saturated podcast world   The one thing AI can never bring to your microphone—your lived experience   Why discernment matters when you're creating content as a Christian   How to find the thing that only you can say   Why you need a sustainable podcasting “floor” instead of an ambitious publishing schedule you can't maintain   Where I draw the line between using AI as a podcasting tool and allowing it to replace your voice   A simple five-minute exercise to help you discover whether there’s a podcast inside you   Resources + Links Ready to start your podcast?
