Marking key insights, exegetical notes, and sermon movements just got simpler and much more colorful. Here is what’s new in your study workspace: ✅ Highlight Text with Ease. Select any passage or sentence within the Exegesis Guide or Manuscript panes, then pick a color directly from the Ask AI popover. You can also quickly clear an existing highlight the same way. ✅ Built to Stay Put. Your highlights are now saved directly to the sermon. They will reliably persist through page reloads, edits, and active generations—so your observations stay right where you placed them. Log in, open your current sermon workspace, and try it out as you prepare this week's message. And let me know what you think!

Curious how everyone builds their slides for their presentations. Do you use the PPGR on your presentation slides or just the principle statement itself? My current sermon slide structure, before using Preach360, has been: Title > Big Idea > Text > Point 1 > Point 2 > Etc > Embracing _______ (typically reframing Big Idea). Share your best practices with me. 🙂

We've been working hard behind the scenes to make Preach360 a more powerful, seamless tool for your weekly preaching ministry, now for prep and beyond. Here is what's new this week: (1) FULL MOBILE RESPONSIVENESS Preach360 is now fully optimized for your phone or tablet across all panels, in both portrait and landscape modes. (2) THE SERMON REPURPOSING SUITE You spend hours crafting a message. Now, you can easily extend its life beyond Sunday morning. We’ve added a complete suite of tools to turn your sermon into church-wide weekly discipleship resources. With one click, generate content based exclusively on your sermons for: - Small Group Study Guides - Sunday School curriculum for all ages: Pre-K-1st, 2nd-5th, middle school, and high school (print one or a complete packet) - Family Devotions for the entire week - Social Media Posts - SEO Sermon Summaries ALL BASED ON YOUR SERMON. Bring Any Sermon: You aren't limited to sermons built in the app. You can now use an outside sermon as the source text for repurposing. Total Editing Control: We've integrated a Rich Text Editor and the ability to save manual changes across all content panels so you can revise everything before downloading. (3) THREE COACHING LEVELS You can now select your preferred level of coaching guidance (beginning, intermediate, or advanced) as you work through the sermon builder. (4) AUTO-GENERATE SERMON SLIDES You can now instantly pull presentation slides straight from your sermon material. (5) CHOOSE MULTIPLE SERMON TEXTS The Sermon Setup now allows you to input between 1 and 3 foundational texts for your message. (6) GLOBAL TRANSLATION UTILITY Pastors around the world can now use Preach360 to draft and preach in their native language. (7) AI ASSISTANCE LEVELS AND WORD COUNT Tell the system exactly how long you want your draft to be, and dial the AI assistance up or down based on your preference. (8) LEGACY SERMON CONVERSION IN YOUR VOICE The legacy conversion process is now directly connected to your voice profile. When you run an old sermon through the PPGR conversion, it will use your words in your voice.

Hey, everybody! There is a saying that experience isn't the best teacher, but "evaluated" experience is. With that in mind, let's share some wins and lessons from yesterday's gatherings. - What went well? - What did you learn? - What might you do differently this coming Sunday? Post in the comments and let's talk about it. 👇

For those interested in what web app construction looks like, here's what happened this week under the hood. As always, if you come across any tech bugs, let me know and send a screenshot if you're able. By the way, a huge shout out thank you to our developer genius, @Michael Byrd, who went WAY above and beyond this week. - Fixed the Sermon Builder walkthrough freezing after a fumbled confirmation — step completion is now driven by the confirmed field, so a stale step self-heals on the next confirmation - Fixed confirmations dead-ending on "ready to move on" — the AI now opens the next step's coaching in the same reply, using scripted wording and never inventing options - Fixed manuscript generation failing on a desynced walkthrough — blocked generation attempts now heal the step index at the end of the turn - Fixed duplicated chat bubbles caused by sends racing an in-flight response stream, and repaired already-corrupted saved conversations - Fixed repeated coaching messages by pinning the Vertex provider SDK to the last good version, plus a filter that suppresses any verbatim repeated text - Fixed silent content-tool failures behind "manuscript won't generate" reports — unavailable tools now explain themselves and guide the walkthrough forward, mistyped tool parameters are auto-repaired, and AI usage is recorded on aborted streams - Fixed production log issues: client error serialization, /projects hydration mismatch, and AI SDK patch updates - Required every numbered coaching part to be answered before a manuscript section can be drafted - Stripped echoed session-context blocks from model output and healed already-saved histories - Surfaced mid-stream generation failures (e.g. rate limits) with the real reason instead of silently claiming success - Guarded the admin prompt fragment editor against silent save loss — unsaved-changes confirmation when switching fragments, and stale-tab saves now detect conflicts instead of overwriting newer work
