Series: Thinking Ahead: Pastors and AI
Title: AI just removed the technology barrier that’s been killing your best ministry ideas.
You’ve had this idea for months. A better way to equip parents. A simple volunteer system. A tool that helps your people apply Scripture to daily life. You can see it clearly. You know it would work.
But then: “That would cost thousands.” “We’d need a developer.” Another God-given vision shelved.
Kenny Jahng shows pastors how churches are using AI to create custom ministry solutions by simply describing what they need. No programming. No developers. No massive budget. Just you, having a conversation with AI—and watching it build exactly what you need.
The prayer system your recovery ministry needs. The family discussion tool. The coordination system that fits YOUR church. AI builds it while you focus on ministry.
You’ll see concrete examples, get a simple roadmap, and discover how your pastoral instincts guide AI to serve your vision.
Use AI to build what your people actually need. You already know what’s needed. Now AI makes it possible.
