20 AI Prompts for Pastors ChatGPT Can’t Answer (But We Can)
ChatGPT is smart — but let’s be real. It doesn’t attend your church.
It doesn’t know your sermons, your stories, your favorite scriptures, or that one time you quoted Tim Keller and C.S. Lewis in the same message. Generic AI is powerful, but without your preaching history, it’s just guessing.
That’s why we built SermonDone.com with My Library — where you bring in every word you’ve ever written (Google Drive) and every word you’ve ever spoken (YouTube). We transcribe, organize, and index it all. Suddenly, your sermons become your greatest resource… searchable, reusable, and remixable.
Here are 20 prompts ChatGPT could never answer on its own… but with My Library inside SermonDone, it can:
1. “Summarize the 5 main themes I’ve preached on the most in the last two years.”
2.“Find every story I’ve told about my kids and create a new sermon opener with one of them.”
3. “Pull the best 3 illustrations I’ve used for forgiveness and turn them into fresh sermon intros.”
4. “Where are the blind spots in my preaching? What topics have I avoided?”
5. “Take my sermon on Mark 10 and repurpose it into a 3-part devotional for email.”
6. “Find me a past sermon where I referenced C.S. Lewis and reframe that section into a tweet thread.”
7. “Help me turn my Easter sermon from 2023 into a small group discussion guide.”
8. “Show me the 10 passages I’ve preached most often and suggest new ones I haven’t touched.”
9. “Identify patterns in my preaching style — what phrases do i tend to repeat?”
10. “Take my Christmas series and write an outline for a book chapter.”
11. “Generate a fresh sermon on forgiveness but weave in three stories I’ve already told in new ways.”
12. “Help me avoid repeating myself — scan my library and point out where I’ve already used this story.”
13. “Pull the 5 strongest sermon conclusions I’ve ever written and remix them into new closings.”
14. “Which passages have I preached but never finished the whole chapter or book?”
15. “Find where I’ve quoted Tim Keller before and create a list of quotes I haven’t used.”
16. “Analyze my sermons for strengths and weaknesses — am I stronger at exposition or application?”
17. “Turn my 2022 series on Romans into a 5-day devotional reading plan.”
18. “Compare my last 10 sermons — what themes or key phrases keep reappearing?”
19. “Take three of my strongest points from past sermons and weave them into a brand new message on hope.”
20. “Make sure I never start from scratch again — give me an outline for next Sunday by remixing my past 3 sermons on prayer.”
Why This Is Different
The reason ChatGPT can’t answer these? It doesn’t have your voice.
With Google Drive + YouTube intake, SermonDone captures:
✅ Every word you’ve ever written (notes, manuscripts, outlines).
✅ Every word you’ve ever spoken (sermons, podcasts, devotionals).
That means your content is fully indexed, searchable, and ready to be reused. You can analyze your strengths, avoid blind spots, and repurpose years of work into fresh sermons, devotionals, books, and more.
