Welcome to AI in Ministry

You've been trying to balance the demands of pastoral care with administrative tasks for months, maybe even years. You've explored church management software, read articles on time management for pastors, and perhaps invested in productivity systems that promised to lighten your load but left you just as overwhelmed.

Every day, you're facing the same challenges: sermon preparation that cuts into your visitation time, administrative paperwork that keeps you from deeper theological reflection, and the constant pressure to maintain a digital presence for your congregation. And it feels like no one truly understands the complexity of ministry in today's digital age.

The Technology Advice That's Keeping You Stuck

Most technology advice for ministry follows the same tired formula. It oversimplifies the unique challenges of pastoral work, offers generic solutions designed for businesses, or worse—requires you to adopt complex systems that feel disconnected from your calling and ministry context.

I discovered this the hard way after implementing a church management system that created more work than it solved and left me feeling further from my congregation rather than closer. That's when I realized what was missing: a thoughtful integration of AI tools that respects the sacred nature of ministry while addressing its practical challenges.

This newsletter is the resource I wish I'd had when I was struggling to balance the administrative and spiritual aspects of my calling.

Who am I?

I've spent almost 20 years in digital marketing as my vocation while also being active in my local church for as far back as I can remember. During this time, I've helped dozens of churches implement technology solutions that enhance rather than hinder their ministry and developed frameworks for ethical technology use that honor both efficiency and authentic human connection.

I started this newsletter after witnessing colleagues abandon helpful technology due to fear or poor implementation, while others embraced it uncritically at the expense of their pastoral presence. What began as a solution to my own frustration has now grown to help over 3,000 faith leaders navigate the intersection of ministry and artificial intelligence.

Today, I'm dedicated to helping readers like you harness the power of AI to create more space for your true calling: shepherding your congregation with presence, wisdom, and care.

"I was skeptical about using AI in ministry until I tried the sermon research prompt from last month's newsletter. It gathered scholarly perspectives in minutes that would have taken me hours to compile, giving me more time to pray over the message and visit our homebound members." — Pastor James Williams
