The Pulpit — your weekly preaching operation

Plan series, prep sermons with the SERMON-N framework, manage the archive, cross-reference scripture, and turn every preached sermon into a month of content. Built for pastors who refuse to let Sundays consume Mondays.

The Pulpit is the Studio's preaching operating system. It exists because most pastors live the same week on repeat: Wednesday — no sermon yet; Thursday — outline; Friday — full draft; Saturday — slides and panic; Sunday — preach; Monday — exhausted; Tuesday — start again. The Pulpit replaces that loop with a real operation.

It covers four layers:

  1. Series planning — define a series (theme, length, target outcome, big idea), generate a sermon-by-sermon arc, and lock the path so each week feeds the next instead of standing alone.
  2. Sermon prep — single-sermon workspace using the SERMON-N framework (Scripture, Exegesis, Real-life tension, Movement, Outcome, Next step, plus Notes). Inline AI helpers respect your Voice DNA and your theological lane.
  3. Archive ingestion — bulk-import an old sermon archive (video, audio, transcripts). The Studio transcribes, summarises, tags, and makes everything queryable. Years of preaching become a searchable, repurposable asset.
  4. Cross-reference engine — scripture used, themes covered, illustrations spent — so you don't unintentionally preach the same illustration in the same season or under-use parts of canon.

On each sermon page you also get:

  • Scan for drift — flags places where the message may have drifted from your stated convictions. Soft warnings only, named with severity and category — the pulpit stays yours.
  • Cross-tradition commentary — pick a scripture reference and "triangulate" it across Patristic, Reformed, Wesleyan, Catholic, Pentecostal, and Liberation readings. Shows shared ground and names live disagreements rather than smoothing them over.
  • Delivery coaching — upload your preached audio or notes and get pace (words per minute), energy curve, planned-vs-delivered comparison, filler-word counts, and concrete next-time notes.
  • Congregation feedback — share a public link to collect clarity + application ratings (1-5) and one-line takeaways from the people who heard it.

Once a sermon is preached, the Pulpit hands off to the Storyteller, the Broadcaster, and the Sequencer to repurpose into a week of content, an audiogram pack, and a follow-up email — without you doing it manually.
