How AI is Transforming Church Renewal: Tools Every Pastor Needs!

Hey everybody, it's that tech Pastor Justin lesson. I'm so glad you guys are tuned into my channel. As we jump into our video today, we're going to talk about artificial intelligence and church renewal. How AI can serve to transform your ministry. Whether that's renewing churches. We know the statistics about churches dying left and right. Churches are not surviving, people are not coming to church. So how do we change that? Is it a generational thing? Is it more live streaming? Let's talk about how AI can actually help transform ministries and help renew your ministry. You know, I want to continue to explore the intersection of technology in faith and let's engage it, right? AI may sound futuristic to you when you're coming to my channel for the first time. I have a number of shorts and different things that engage on this, but it's already here. One of the things I've created is actually the GPT store called Pastor GPT. Go check it out. It's free for right now as I develop the back end of it. You listen to this video and go to the GPT store. Check out Pastor GPT. It helps to to to create chatbots and automatic workflows. I'm trying to use AI to make things easier for pastors and church staff. So it's not just about conven, but it's about enhancing your mission. So how can it help in your church management? Well, imagine having an AI assistant who works for you 247 organizing events, setting automated reminders to your congregation, answering common questions, even managing donation records and finding trends. AI tools like ManyChat are automating a lot of these everyday tasks. And by doing so, they're freeing up church leaderships to do what matters most and focus on what matters most. And that's prayer and people. You know. AI tools can also help you dive deeper in the scripture as a pastor with AI powered biblical research platforms like Pastor GPT. Using things like Scholar GPT, you can get into scholarly resources and engage with cross references, historical context and even suggestions from sermon topics become faster and more thorough. And Logos is not doing that. You be more inspired and creative in your sermons. Lastly is what about ethics? What about ethics, Pastor Justin? Well, of course new technology becomes responsible. How do we ensure that AI aligns with your values? It's important that you maintain oversight and focus on tools that enhance human creation connection instead of replacing it. And in my AI Master Class, I give you a free AI policy. So if you go to JR Lester.com my AI Masterclass, I give you a free AI Policy to implement via church to make sure that ethics not something you have to worry about and realize. Remember this AI is unethical because of the people, not because of AI. We built it, so it's unethical. So is AI the future of church renew? No. I believe it's a part of the answer. I don't believe the church is built on artificial intelligence or our own intelligence. I believe that the local church is built upon all of its people. Pastors are a pastor without people and people don't have a church without a pastor. So it's a part of the answer. It allows us to streamline operations, dig deeper into the Word of God, and ultimately spend more time in the Word and with the people that matter most. If you want to learn more about specific AI tools and how to build your church and how to do these things like tools like Pastor GPT or Mini Chat or Gamma, stick around for other videos and be sure to go take a look. The videos are already on my channel and take a look at my Tik Tok atechpastor and Instagram at the pastor as well. My goal is to build a local church to help us be the people God's called us to be like and subscribe. Come back for more. See you soon.
