If I could build one thing for you, what would it be?
There are no right or wrong answers, but I need an updated list of needs, and I'll see what we I can crank out the rest of this week. Drop your answer/need in the comments.

@Mike Severson I am glad it worked for you. If you want me to improve it with other choices let me know. We can tweak any direction you want. I have a call schedule in 20 minutes if you want to jump on and discuss possibilities.

@Mike Severson No worries. I went ahead and ran some updates but need to test them more before I upload. I'll do it so you can use the same link over again if you need to.

Church Service Without a Single Scripture Reference?
I recently watched a "special flower" church service that didn't read or mention a single Bible reference. This was their normal Sunday service, not some one-off event. I think they might do this twice a year in place of their "normal" service schedule. I actually rewatched the recording to make sure I hadn't missed one. I'll admit, that's a really interesting church strategy. I'll say more about this later, but my mind jumped back to one service where I afterward counted 66 Bible verses read aloud during the service. My feeling is that the right number should land somewhere well above 0 and well below 66. ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ? --- Most pastors don't track how many verses get discussed during a service, and that includes more than just the sermon. AI offers an easy way to count them. Take the audio or video of the entire service and have AI generate a transcript, assuming your streaming service doesn't already produce one automatically. Then ask the AI to identify every Bible verse in the transcript and show the exact verse along with its location in the Bible. It's a simple way to keep a running total.

@Charlie Schaffer I thought about sharing a link so everyone could watch, but it would just eat up 40 minutes of your life you could better use to spread the word.

@Robert Gault Agreed. I never thought one of the church services would have zero scripture references. And I'm smack dab in the bible belt.
Live Call in 10 Minutes
I have a handle on my pneumonia now so I can avoid coughing incessantly during a live call. If you want to jump on the call tonight, feel free. We can talk about whatever you want/need AI, soul care or other. Todd Calendar ยท Ministry AI

Welcome. Your First Step Starts With "One" Word.
Hey, I'm Todd Thornton, and I am so glad you're here. Ministry looks different for everyone. Whether you're on staff, volunteering, or just trying to make a difference, AI can help you do it better. Three things I want you to know right up front. 1) Don't just lurk. Post (1) one word in the comments. An AI tool you use, something you want to accomplish, a hidden talent. Anything. I will personally respond to every single one with my best idea for how I can help. If I'm wrong, the egg is on my face and some responses might be hilarious. 2) This is a "public" community. Everything here is visible, searchable, and shareable, even to non-members. That's on purpose. We want people to find this content. But if that's not for you, no hard feelings at all. 3) This is a link-free thread. Leave the URLs out and bring the real you. We want your thoughts, your questions, and your experience, not your bookmarks. If you are not a member you won't be able to comment or track completion in courses, but if you find something you like, just grab the link and share it freely. Posts, course pages, anything. We believe in full transparency. This is just who we are. If you're still in, let's take it one step at a time. Step one is simple. Drop only (1) ONE word in the comments below and let's see how creative Todd can get with his response.

@Mark Matthews Virtue is baked into the word virtuoso. Both trace back to the Latin virtus, meaning excellence, strength, and moral worth. I donโ€™t know if you were showing off or if this was a beautiful accident, but either way, Iโ€™m already convinced youโ€™re a secret AI virtuoso who just outed yourself.

@Billy Derksen I owe you an apology. I thought I replied to your word and didn't. I think my beginnings of pneumonia a few days ago affected my memory! As a result, I'm deviating from my normal short snarky comment and have created a framework with the letters of your word. Intrigued has a curious, open-hearted feel to it, and for you I am building this one around the roles that matter most: husband, father of four, and proud Canadian. Here is your INTRIGUED framework for being a good father, husband, and Canadian: I โ€” Involved: Show up for the small moments, the school runs, the bedtimes, the ordinary evenings. Being there is most of the job, and your family feels it. N โ€” Nurturing: Tend to the people under your roof, your wife and your four kids, so each one knows they are safe, supported, and loved. T โ€” Tender: Strength and gentleness belong together. A soft word and a patient tone teach your children more than any lecture ever could. R โ€” Reliable: Be the steady one your family can count on. When your word holds, your home feels secure. I โ€” Invested: Pour yourself into your marriage and your kids the way you would anything you truly care about, because this is the thing that matters most. G โ€” Grateful: Carry gratitude for your family and your country. A thankful heart has a way of making a good life feel even fuller. U โ€” Unifying: Be the one who brings everyone together, around the table and through the rough patches. A family, like a country, is stronger united. E โ€” Easygoing: Keep a sense of humor and a long fuse. With four kids, the days that go sideways are often the ones you will laugh about later. D โ€” Dependable: Be the rock at home and a good neighbor beyond it, that quiet, decent, lend-a-hand spirit that Canadians are known for.

Fable 5 Update (Available again in a few Days)
It seems Fable 5 inside of Claude may be available again in the next few days. Just a reminder this is the model the government shut down. It's the smartest model yet for coding/logic so hopefully we can do some demos next week. If you have any suggestions, please drop them in the comments.

Call me a what-works-ologist. I find what actually works with AI and on Skool, then teach Christians and leaders to apply it, step-by-step.
