There are many tools available today that can take a sermon and convert it into other formats such as short video clips, study guides, devotionals, and discussion questions. These tools can save a significant amount of time and help extend the reach of the message beyond the pulpit. When used responsibly and simply as tools, they can be very helpful in supporting ministry and discipleship efforts.
Here’s a list of AI-based sermon conversion tools — platforms that take an existing sermon (video, audio, or manuscript) and automatically generate clips, transcripts, devotionals, study guides, social posts, and other disciple-making content:
