Most pastors start with the tool, then want to learn how it works

Here's what one pastor built in six months.

I'm not a developer. I'm a parish priest in Hell's Kitchen. I built every one of these workflows myself, and you can too.

Biblical Research Pipeline

Comprehensive exegetical research with verified citations. Greek analysis, theological voices from Barth to Bonhoeffer, contemporary context. All cross-referenced.

4 minutes, not 4 hours

Voice Matching

AI that writes like you, not like a robot. Trained on your actual sermons so every draft sounds like it came from your mouth, not a machine.

Your voice, amplified

Newsletter Generator

Weekly parish newsletter that people actually read. Standalone value, growth-optimized, written in your voice. Not a sermon recap. Real content.

10 minutes per week

Theological Essays

Long-form theological writing that engages real scholarship. Not surface-level ChatGPT summaries, but genuine intellectual engagement with the tradition.

Seminary-grade, your perspective

You don't need to learn to code. You need to learn to think alongside AI.

AI is a conversation, not a button

You already know how to have a good conversation. You do it every Sunday, every hospital visit, every vestry meeting. That's the core skill. We just point it in a new direction.

Your sermon prep is already a workflow

Research, reflection, writing, editing. You've been doing this for years. AI slots into what you already do. It doesn't replace your process. It makes it faster and deeper.

Build once, use every week

My research pipeline runs every Monday morning. The newsletter system runs every Thursday. These aren't one-off tricks. They're infrastructure for your ministry.

You own your tools

No subscription to someone else's app that might disappear or change its pricing. You build it, you understand it, you control it. That's the whole point.

Start with what's due Sunday

We don't learn theory and hope it applies later. We start with your actual scripture text for this week and build from there. You leave every session with something you can use.

The hard skill is the one you already have

Theological thinking. Pastoral intuition. Knowing your congregation. AI can't do any of that. But it can handle the mechanical work that keeps you from doing it well.

What this week actually looks like

The before and after, from my own ministry.

Monday used to mean four hours in commentaries and browser tabs before I had a direction. Now I have verified exegetical research with citations in four minutes, and I spend that time actually thinking about what it means for my people.
Research Pipeline
The workflow that changed everything
The first AI draft I got sounded like a seminary paper written by committee. So I trained it on my actual sermons. Now it sounds like me on a good writing day, and I edit from strength instead of starting from scratch.
Voice Matching
Your voice, not a robot's
I used to write the newsletter at 11pm Thursday because it was always the thing that got pushed. Now it takes ten minutes and people actually read it. Open rates went up because the content is worth opening.

Stephen Setzer

Episcopal priest. St. Clement's Church, Hell's Kitchen, NYC.

I'm not a tech guy who discovered church. I'm a pastor who got tired of spending Monday through Saturday on work that AI could help me do better. Seminary prepared me for a lot of things. The weekly content treadmill wasn't one of them.

I started building AI workflows for my own sermon prep because I was drowning in the cycle. Research, writing, newsletters, pastoral letters, adult ed curriculum. The work never stops, and nobody teaches you how to manage it with modern tools.

Six months later, I have a research pipeline that generates verified exegetical analysis in minutes, a voice model trained on my actual preaching, and a newsletter system that's growing my congregation's engagement. I built all of it. And I'm not a developer.

“I have 168 hours in a week and a sermon due every Sunday. These workflows don't replace my pastoral work. They protect my time for it.”

April 20 - May 22, 2026

5 weeks. Twice-weekly live sessions. Real workflows built on your actual preaching schedule. Limited to 20 pastors so everyone gets hands-on help.

Questions you're probably asking

Do I need to know how to code?

No. I don't know how to code. That's the whole point. You describe what you want in plain English. The AI writes the code. You learn to direct it, not to program.

Is this just ChatGPT for sermons?

No. ChatGPT is a chatbot. This is about building workflows: repeatable systems that handle the mechanical parts of your week so you can focus on the pastoral and theological work that actually requires you.

Will this work for my denomination?

If you preach, write, and communicate with a congregation, yes. The workflows are denominationally agnostic. I'm Episcopal, but the skills transfer to any tradition that values thoughtful preaching.

What if I'm not tech-savvy?

If you can send an email and type a paragraph, you can do this. We start from zero. The live format means you get help when you're stuck, in real time.

How is this different from AI sermon tools?

Those tools give you a sermon. This teaches you to build your own tools. The difference is ownership, voice, and understanding. You're not dependent on someone else's product. You build infrastructure you control.

What do I actually need?

A laptop and a willingness to try something new. We'll walk you through setting everything up in the first session. You don't need to buy anything or prepare anything in advance.

Cohort 1 starts April 20. 20 spots. 5 weeks. No code required.
