A Guide to Using AI to Turn Sermons into Devotionals

Church leaders are constantly looking for ways to keep their congregations engaged throughout the week. Sermons are powerful, but their impact can fade as the week progresses, as the attention of your congregation gets pulled every which way. How can you keep the spiritual momentum going? The answer lies in leveraging AI to transform your sermons into daily devotionals that continue to inspire your congregation long after Sunday service.

With Gloo and Church.Tech, you have the tools to easily create and distribute these devotionals, helping your members stay connected to your message all week long. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it.

Step 1: Upload Your Sermon to Church.Tech
