In this conversation, Josh shares how his church is actively using AI across nearly every department—from sermon preparation and curriculum creation to operations, worship ministry, and discipleship. He offers a practical vision for how church leaders can use AI to reclaim time, reduce burnout, and focus more deeply on shepherding people.   Key Topics   AI in the church: fear vs. opportunity Josh argues that many church leaders are approaching AI with unnecessary fear. While concerns around ethics and implementation are valid, he sees AI primarily as a tool—one that can dramatically increase effectiveness while freeing leaders to focus on ministry. He believes churches that embrace these tools thoughtfully will be able to pastor more effectively, not less.   Why churches are historically slow to adopt technology Churches and nonprofits are often years behind the business world when it comes to adopting new technology. Josh believes AI is creating one of the largest technological shifts of our generation, and many church leaders risk missing opportunities simply because they haven't taken time to understand what's actually possible.   Scaling ministry without losing community One of the most intriguing ideas discussed is whether AI can help churches scale without sacrificing the personal connection that often disappears as organizations grow. Instead of hiring more specialists for every operational challenge, churches may soon be able to use AI systems to maintain consistency, communication, and care at a much larger scale.   AI as a team of specialists Rather than thinking of AI as a chatbot, Josh encourages leaders to think of it as an entire team of specialists available on demand. Administrative support, curriculum development, data analysis, planning, project management, and content creation can all be assisted by AI, allowing pastors to spend more time on teaching, discipleship, and relationships.   The future of church software The conversation explores how tools like Planning Center, HubSpot, Notion, Logos, MultiTracks, and other church software platforms will likely become deeply integrated with AI through technologies like APIs and Model Context Protocol (MCP). Instead of manually moving information between platforms, leaders will increasingly interact with a single AI layer that understands and works across their entire ministry ecosystem.   How Josh uses AI for sermon planning Josh shares his personal workflow for annual sermon planning and weekly sermon preparation. What once required multiple staff meetings and days of planning can now be completed in minutes. He uses AI to help organize ideas, structure teaching series, review theological themes, and accelerate sermon preparation while maintaining full ownership over theological convictions and final content.   Using AI without losing your voice One of the biggest concerns among pastors is whether AI will replace authentic preaching. Josh argues that AI works best as a collaborator rather than a creator. By training AI on previous sermons, theological frameworks, and ministry values, leaders can use it to refine and organize their ideas while still maintaining their unique voice and convictions.   Curriculum creation and discipleship workflows Vineyard uses AI extensively to create small group curriculum, discipleship resources, class materials, slide decks, teacher guides, and parent resources. Tools like NotebookLM help transform existing content into multiple formats, dramatically reducing preparation time while increasing consistency across ministries.   AI-powered worship ministry Worship and production teams are also leveraging AI. Josh and his worship pastor discuss using tools like Suno to create custom music, countdown tracks, and ministry-specific content. They also explore future possibilities for creating custom stems, backing tracks, and other resources that could significantly reduce production workload.   The ethics of AI and transparency Throughout the conversation, Josh emphasizes the importance of transparency. Leaders should be honest about where AI is assisting their work while recognizing that many forms of ministry have always involved collaboration, research assistance, editors, and support staff. The key is maintaining integrity while leveraging powerful new tools.   A leveling of the playing field for small churches Perhaps the most exciting implication is what AI means for under-resourced churches. Pastors who lack staff, consultants, formal training, or large budgets can now access tools that help bridge those gaps. Josh believes AI may become one of the most powerful ministry equalizers the Church has ever seen.   Notable tools mentioned   • Claude • ChatGPT • Gemini • NotebookLM • Planning Center • HubSpot • Notion • Logos Bible Software • Suno • Zapier • MultiTracks • Google Workspace   Key Quote   "Imagine if you could free up 15 hours of your week to spend more time making sure the people in your church who are most forgotten actually get seen."   • • • • •   Disclaimer: This video and description contain affiliate links.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined, for an absolutely remarkable conversation, by Steve Sjogren, the founding pastor of one of the most influential churches in America, the Vineyard Church Cincinnati, to talk about his conversion to Catholicism. Steve not only founded and pastored one of the most influential churches in America, but was one of the founding pastors of the Vineyard Church movement from the beginning – worshipping alongside the likes of Bob Dylan and Keith Green in the earliest incarnation of the charismatic church movement in Los Angeles. Steve's story is one of servant leadership, radical evangelization, and following the Holy Spirit wherever he was led – including right into full communion with the Catholic Church. You're going to absolutely love Steve's story.For more from Steve Sjogren visit his website.

I met Jeff Faust last summer, when I learned about and toured the bones of the Love FoCo Resource Center - and got to know him better at their benefit golf tournament last fall - which was my favorite “work” day of the year.  Love Foco  just held its ribbon cutting last month!  In this podcast, Jeff tells the tale of securing the real estate by gift, and the special community efforts that were made to build out the space into a full-service community health and resource center.   We also zoomed back with Jeff to his earlier chapters, including hands-on service work in the grittiest parts of Kansas City, his grooming as the future Lead Pastor of an established church there - and having a literal vision/call from God to head West and how he followed the call to Fort Collins.   Jeff is as entrepreneurial of a guy as you'll ever get to know, and a heck of a communitarian - so please enjoy, as I did, my conversation with Jeff Faust!

Bienvenidos a nuestro Reveal podcast,¡Bienvenidos una vez más! Hoy profundizaremos en una de las declaraciones más poderosas del “Yo Soy” de Jesús, que se encuentra en el capítulo 6 del Evangelio de Juan, donde Él declara: “Yo soy el Pan de Vida.”Este momento ocurre justo después del milagro de la alimentación de los cinco mil. La multitud acababa de experimentar cómo el pan se multiplicó en sus manos. Pero Jesús cambia el enfoque de la comida temporal hacia el alimento eterno. Les dice que, aunque sus antepasados comieron el maná en el desierto durante el tiempo de Moisés, finalmente murieron. Sin embargo, el pan que Él ofrece da vida eterna.Cuando Jesús se llama a Sí mismo el Pan de Vida, está hablando de una necesidad humana básica. El pan era un alimento esencial para la supervivencia. De la misma manera, Él está diciendo que es esencial para la vida espiritual. Así como el pan sostiene el cuerpo, Cristo sostiene el alma.Esta enseñanza también anticipa la Última Cena, donde Jesús parte el pan y lo relaciona con Su cuerpo, señalando hacia Su sacrificio. Creer en Él no es solo un acuerdo intelectual; se describe como “comer” recibir, confiar y depender completamente de Él.Traducido por-Ruth Cruz

Welcome to our Reveal podcast,Welcome! Today we're diving into one of the most powerful “I Am” statements of Jesus found in Gospel of John, chapter 6 — where Jesus declares, “I am the Bread of Life.”This moment comes right after the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand. The crowd had just experienced physical bread multiplied in their hands. But Jesus shifts their focus from temporary food to eternal nourishment. He tells them that while their ancestors ate manna in the wilderness during the time of Moses, they still eventually died. The bread He offers, however, gives eternal life.When Jesus calls Himself the Bread of Life, He's speaking to a basic human need. Bread was a staple — essential for survival. In the same way, He's saying that He is essential for spiritual life. Just as bread sustains the body, Christ sustains the soul.This teaching also foreshadows the Last Supper, where Jesus breaks bread and connects it to His body — pointing toward His sacrifice. Believing in Him isn't just intellectual agreement; it's described as “eating” receiving, trusting, and fully depending on Him.To support this ministry and help us continue our God-given mission, click here:Subscribe to our channel for the latest sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@revealvineyardLearn more about Vineyard Church Reveal Campus:https://www.revealvineyard.com/Follow us on social media!Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/vineyardrevealcampus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/RevealVineyard

Welcome to our Reveal podcast,Today, we're exploring a powerful paradox found in Scripture: the power of weakness.In a world that celebrates strength, success, and self-sufficiency, the Bible presents a radically different message. In Second Corinthians 12:9, the Apostle Paul shares God's words: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul even goes on to say that he will boast in his weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest on him.This theme runs throughout the Bible. From Moses doubting his ability to speak, to David defeating Goliath as an overlooked shepherd, to Jesus redefining victory through the cross, we see that God often chooses what seems weak by human standards to display His glory.Weakness, isn't about failure it's about dependence. It's the space where pride fades and faith grows. When we come to the end of our own strength, we begin to experience God's strength in a deeper way.The power of weakness reminds us that we don't have to have it all together. In fact, it's often in our most vulnerable moments that God does His greatest work.To support this ministry and help us continue our God-given mission, click here:Subscribe to our channel for the latest sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@revealvineyardLearn more about Vineyard Church Reveal Campus:https://www.revealvineyard.com/Follow us on social media!Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/vineyardrevealcampus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/RevealVineyard

Bienvenido a nuestro Reveal podcast,¡Bienvenidos de nuevo! Hoy vamos a hablar sobre lo que realmente significa estar equipados para amar no solo emocionalmente, sino bíblicamente.En las Escrituras, el amor no es solo un sentimiento; es un llamado y una disciplina. En 1 Corintios 13, se nos dice que el amor es paciente, bondadoso, no es egoísta ni se irrita fácilmente. Este pasaje redefine el amor como acción algo que practicamos, no solo algo que sentimos.Jesús lo lleva aún más profundo en Juan 13:34, cuando dice: “Ámense unos a otros como yo los he amado.” Ese es un amor sacrificial. Un amor modelado por Cristo mismo visto de manera poderosa en Romanos 5:8, donde se nos recuerda que, aun siendo pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros.Entonces, ¿cómo somos equipados para amar de esa manera? A través de la transformación. Gálatas 5 habla del fruto del Espíritu: amor, gozo, paz, paciencia. Estas no son simplemente cualidades de personalidad; son evidencia de la obra de Dios en nosotros. No producimos este tipo de amor por nuestra propia fuerza lo recibimos de Dios y lo reflejamos hacia los demás.Traducido por-Ruth Cruz

Welcome to our Reveal podcast,Today we're talking about what it really means to be equipped to love not just emotionally, but biblically.In Scripture, love isn't just a feeling; it's a calling and a discipline. In 1 Corinthians 13, we're told that love is patient, kind, not self-seeking, and not easily angered. That passage reframes love as action something we practice, not just something we feel.Jesus takes it even deeper in John 13:34, saying, “Love one another as I have loved you.” That's sacrificial love. It's modeled by Christ Himself most powerfully seen in Romans 5:8, where we're reminded that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.So how are we equipped to love like that? Through transformation. Galatians 5 talks about the fruit of the Spirit love, joy, peace, patience. These aren't personality traits; they're evidence of God working within us. We don't manufacture this kind of love on our own we receive it from God and reflect it outward.To support this ministry and help us continue our God-given mission, click here:Subscribe to our channel for the latest sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@revealvineyardLearn more about Vineyard Church Reveal Campus:https://www.revealvineyard.com/Follow us on social media!Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/vineyardrevealcampus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/RevealVineyard

Welcome to our Reveal podcast,When we talk about baptism,We are talking about far more than just water. Baptism is a powerful symbol of transformation. Throughout Scripture, water represents cleansing, renewal, and new beginnings—and baptism brings all of that together in one intentional act.In the New Testament, baptism is closely tied to repentance and faith. Jesus himself was baptized, not because he needed cleansing, but to identify with humanity and model obedience to God. Later, his followers are baptized as an outward expression of an inward change—a public declaration that they've chosen to leave their old life behind and step into a new one with God.To support this ministry and help us continue our God-given mission, click here:Subscribe to our channel for the latest sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@revealvineyardLearn more about Vineyard Church Reveal Campus:https://www.revealvineyard.com/Follow us on social media!Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/vineyardrevealcampus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/RevealVineyard
