Begin with one message

Sign in, then add a sermon to your library. A recording gives video and audio tools a source; a pasted manuscript is useful for written work. Give it a recognizable title so your team can find it again.

1. Open Sermons, choose the upload action, and select your source.
2. Wait for the sermon workspace to become ready, then check the transcript, especially names, scripture references and negative words.
3. Pick one outcome: a short clip in Moments, an email in EmailAI, or a written draft in Writing AI.
4. Review the result against the source before sharing it.

After the sermon is ready, choose a single outcome that fits the source. Video recordings can support short video Moments; audio-only recordings can support an AudioGram; a manuscript can be a starting point for Writing AI or a devotional. If a tool requires video or a transcript, the source must include that material. The creation screen shows the options and any points cost before you start.

A simple first session

Start by naming one sermon clearly, then check whether its transcript or source is ready. Review one passage with the recording, correct any obvious errors and create a single draft. Open the result and compare its claims, names, scripture references and quoted wording with the source. If a teammate will share it, let them review the output too.

Avoid creating several outputs before you have checked the source. A focused first pass helps you catch a poor recording, incorrect transcript or mismatched title while there is only one draft to review. Keep the editable project in the library even after exporting a file so the team can revise it later.

Choose the right starting point

For a video clip, use a sermon with video available. For an audio recording without video, try AudioGram. For a manuscript, begin with Writing AI, a devotional, or a book. Your available balance and the cost shown in a creation screen determine whether a paid AI operation can start.

Next: Upload your first sermon.

A first-week example

The sample Harbor team uploads one Sunday recording and checks a short section of its transcript. They choose a complete passage for a Moment, then write a short EmailAI follow-up for group leaders. A second person reviews the words, the final video and the email links. They keep the source and editable project for later corrections.

You can choose a smaller first task: paste a manuscript and draft a reflection, or start an AudioGram from a recording. The key is to select an outcome you can review and use. When a screen shows a points cost, check it before generating. Explore tool choices and team access.
