I am thankful to God for you and God has chosen us for the world in which billions of people live so that we can serve Him and achieve salvation and everlasting life. The Lord says that you are not but I have chosen you from this world God has the purpose in everything and everything. No work or thing happens without God's will I believe that God has mixed us out of this great world. There is definitely a purpose in God

I greatly appreciate this resource as an older pastor adapting to new technologies. While this is laid out sequentially with increasing depth, I confess my tendency to jump around and pick and choose. Neurodivergence? I don't know. I used the questionnaire to have ChatGPT interview me and create an AI Ministry Operating Profile. I might go back and expand some sections, or even modify my responses after seeing the implementation.

Got a deeper look today. I really like how practical and results-focused all of this is. Repeatedly using the same format in a variety of contexts builds muscle memory. My one hesitant point was sermon prep. I tend to be pretty prophetic in the way I minister, so I can’t imagine allowing AI to help me organize my thoughts, because the Spirit generally leads me through a pretty clear flow-of-thought during my prayer and prep. Where I do use AI (almost daily) is in digging up historical and culture context to clarify my understanding, cross-referencing developments throughout Scripture, and coaxing out the subtlety of tensions. But that’s just me. And, in my book writing, the organization help has been welcome, as a book is way too long for me to keep the content all in firm grasp in my tiny brain at one time. Interestingly, I’ve had several chats where I had to argue my theological point and the AI seemed to learn from me as we went along. That said, it does a good job of helping me recognize when one of my arguments is not as much of a “slam dunk” as I think it is. haha Maybe the moral of the story is that in context where organization of larger swaths of content are involved, a super-brain can help. Where the emphasis is the inspiration of the Spirit, AI needs to take a strategically diminished/focused role.

Three new systems just went up in 08 Premium Systems, built around the work that wears small-church pastors down. Annual Ministry Planning walks you through one planning weekend a year, so Easter, the fall series, and your volunteers stop colliding. The Volunteer Pipeline helps you invite, onboard, check in with, and rest the people who carry your church, so the same eight folks don’t burn out. The Hard-Moments Communication Kit helps you prepare the hardest messages before you need them, with clear rules about who hears first and what AI should never decide. There’s also a new Small Group Guide add-on in the Sermon Repurposing system, for turning Sunday’s sermon into a one-page discussion guide.
