Hey friend!
Here are 6 of the most useful posts from the AIforChurchLeaders.com blog lately. Start with #1. It takes about a minute to fix.
1. Your staff meeting notes in Granola may be helping train its AI.
Granola can use anonymized data from Free and Business accounts to improve its models. One toggle stops it, and it takes about a minute. The post also lists the meetings that should never go into an AI note-taker.
2. A third of practicing Christians trust AI's spiritual advice as much as their pastor's.
That number comes from Barna, and it jumps to 44% among Millennials. I set it next to our own State of AI in the Church results and 3 verses that already give you a working AI policy. The last section hands you a 4-line policy your staff can use this week.
3. Christmas Eve planning starts in October, and one Claude prompt builds your whole quarter.
Advent starts November 29. Your invite cards and year-end giving letter both have deadlines that fall weeks before that. This copy-paste prompt works backward from December 24 and flags what has to start this week.
4. One user's AI assistant booked a reservation with a $200 cancellation fee, and he never approved it.
Instinct is the AI assistant people are texting like a coworker, and it acts inside your inbox and calendar. Its terms gave the company sweeping rights over your data, and it rewrote them days after the backlash. Check these 6 settings before you connect it. If you already connected it, there's a copy-paste deletion email in the post.
5. 101 AI terms explained for church life, with a free printable PDF.
Your team already says "LLM" and "agent" in meetings. Every term gets a plain definition and a real ministry example. Term 43 comes with a December 11 deadline for any team that built a custom GPT.
6. 4 skills keep you fluent every time a new AI tool ships.
Delegation is the first one. It decides what you hand to AI and what stays with you. The third skill is the one that catches a confident error before it reaches your congregation.
Hit reply and tell me which one you opened first.
To your AI fluency,
