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.

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.
