Step 1: Practice and Record Your Sermon
Practice Your Sermon
Start by practicing your sermon as you normally would to get comfortable with your delivery.
Record Your Sermon
Use your phone or computer to record yourself, either as a voice memo or a video file.
Upload Your Recording
Once your recording is ready:
Go to the Upload section on Church.tech.
Select “Upload an Audio or Video File.”
Choose your practice sermon file and upload it. This only takes a couple of minutes.
Step 2: Refine Your Sermon in the Playground
Access the Playground
After uploading your sermon, head over to the Playground section. This is where you can use tools and prompts to enhance your sermon.
Use Saved Prompts
Click on “Saved Prompts.”
Look for prompts under the Sermon Analysis category.
Step 3: Choose a Prompt and Analyze Your Sermon
Prompt: Insider vs. Outsider Focus
If your sermon is meant to be inviting for newcomers, you’ll want to ensure it’s accessible. Use the Insider vs. Outsider Focus prompt to check if your sermon speaks more to people familiar with your church or newcomers.
Run the Analysis
The tool will give your sermon a rating from 1 to 10. For example, a rating of 4 suggests it's more focused on insiders.
Adjust Your Sermon
If you’d like to make your sermon more welcoming to outsiders, you can ask for recommendations. The tool will provide suggestions to shift your focus and make adjustments.
Step 4: Make Final Adjustments
Review Suggestions
Carefully review the tool’s suggestions. Remember, these are just recommendations to help you improve.
Re-evaluate as Needed
Make your changes and run the analysis again to see if your sermon has improved its audience focus.
