If AI Writes the Sermon, Is It Still Mine?
The deepest objection to AI sermon prep isn't laziness — it's identity. A prominent evangelical voice made that case publicly. We take the critique seriously, then draw the line that actually matters: between gathering material and deciding what to preach.
