An honest AI for preachers
64% of pastors use AI for sermon prep. Only 12% are comfortable with AI writing the sermon. Sermon Coach is built for the other 52%.
point gap
Between the pastors who use AI and those who are comfortable with it writing their sermons. That gap isn’t confusion. It’s conscience.
Pastors know what’s at stake. A sermon preached from someone else’s wrestling isn’t a sermon — it’s a performance. Congregations feel the difference. Preachers feel the loss.
Every other tool solves for speed. Sermon Coach solves for integrity. It refuses to write your sermon. It asks questions until you’ve written it yourself.
We extract your preaching fingerprint — rhythm, vocabulary, illustration sources, even the phrases you use on purpose that sound "wrong." Your voice is the baseline.
Lowry Loop, Robinson Big Idea, or Andy Stanley Map. Each has a defined step sequence. The coach works through each step with you.
Socratic questions at each step. The coach won't advance you until you've articulated each section — an independent evaluator gates each transition.
Only after all steps are complete can you generate a draft — built entirely from what you developed. Not AI prose. Your theology, structured.
A pastor developing a sermon on Luke 15. Watch how the coach asks instead of tells — and what the evaluator looks like before you advance.
Watch a real coaching session — a pastor developing a sermon on Luke 15.
Choose the homiletical framework you were trained in, or try one you’ve always wanted to use. Adding more methodologies is on the roadmap.
Narrative homiletic
Opens with a felt tension. Follows the congregation through disequilibrium, discovers the gospel as the resolution. Eugene Lowry — taught at Concordia, Luther Seminary, Gordon-Conwell.
Expository preaching
Every sermon has one controlling idea: a subject and a complement. Everything serves that idea. Haddon Robinson — dominant in evangelical seminaries.
Communicative preaching
ME → WE → GOD → YOU → WE. Starts where the congregation actually is, moves to Scripture, ends with a specific call. Andy Stanley — widely used in nondenominational churches.
The coach never writes a word you’ll preach. It only asks questions. The draft, if you generate one, is organized from your own language — not new content. Your voice stays yours because the theology is yours.
No. The coach has a hard contract: it cannot produce prose. A separate evaluator gates each step. The draft endpoint is segregated — it only unlocks when every methodology step is complete. You can’t skip the wrestling.
The coach asks the questions. You supply the exegesis, the illustrations, the application. The spiritual formation happens because you’re the one wrestling with the text — not receiving someone else’s conclusion.
The coaching process applies either way — it’s about theological development, not output format. The final draft can be an outline. Use what serves you.
Walk one complete sermon through any methodology. See whether it changes how you work. Upgrade only if it does.
