Peterson brings hard-won authority to this conversation.
He served in Iraq during the 2008–2009 Surge as a Chaplain’s Assistant, losing seven brothers in combat during his first week deployed. Carrying trauma, addiction and deep brokenness, he turned to God and emerged with a mission that has now reached more than 300,000 service members, veterans and families through his organization, Engage Your Destiny, which organized the largest Gospel outreach to veterans in American history.
He has trained and spoken to the most elite units in the U.S. military, including the 101st Airborne, the 75th Ranger Battalion, Navy SEALs and multiple Special Forces Groups.
His current adversary is AI and his new mission is to ensure that the generation being shaped by machines finds the one voice no machine can replicate: the voice of God.
Ben wrote When Intelligence Isn’t Human out of a growing conviction that something vital is being lost in this generation. After reaching more than 300,000 service members through Engage Your Destiny, he has seen firsthand the effects of isolation, trauma, and spiritual disconnection.
As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into everyday life, Ben believes technology is beginning to fill roles it was never meant to hold- offering guidance, connection, and identity without truth or accountability. This book confronts the cultural shift happening in real time and challenges readers to stay grounded in what makes us truly human.
