Since March I have been using two AI resources for my preaching: https://pulpitai.com/ and riverside.fm. I don’t use them to create content but rather to curate and process my sermons for further communication.
With PulpitAI I upload the audio and it produces an array of resources including:
I can copy and edit all of the generated content. This has been so helpful in creating Tuesday emails to the congregation with reflections from Sunday’s sermon and Facebook quotes.
I have a paid subscription to PulpitAI. An additional treat was that the creator of the application wanted to meet with new subscribers one-on-one. So, in early March I met with Michael Whittle for 30 minutes to talk about how I want to use the app and their development plans.
I am using the free version of Riverside.fm for now. I upload the video and it processes it in a number of ways. The most helpful is the generation of five video clips that I can edit. They are approximately one minute which makes them ideal for Facebook Reels. I sometimes use from one to three videos throughout the week on our Church Facebook page.
I continue to watch and learn about the liabilities and concerns of AI. I have had a good early experience with these two resources and plan to keep using them. I would enjoy talking with others about these resources and learn how they are using AI in their ministry or line of work.
