Blog - We Spent a Church’s Yearly AI Budget in One Weekend. Here’s What We Found | Ep 224

Published: Oct 12, 2026

AI got very good at surfacing security vulnerabilities fast. In this episode of Rock Cast, Jon, Emily, and Nicole share the story behind Rock's recent security releases.

Jon explains how the team built a series of agents to scan Rock's code and why Rock's flexibility makes every fix a balancing act.

The main takeaway here is that security is a two-way street. The core team is working its hardest to roll out fixes, but they only protect your church once you install them. As a Rock admin, here's your 5 step action plan to make sure your church stays protected and secured:

  1. Install security releases when they land.
  2. Watch for the red banner on your homepage.
  3. Work through the field types guide and move your Lava over.
  4. Keep cleaning up predictable IDs.
  5. Report security issues through Talos.
