Glossary of Terms

We listed a few terms that will help you better understand the prompts below.  

LLMs

Large language models (LLM) are very smart robots that can read, understand and write text. They learn from reading lots of books, articles and websites, then they use what they've learned to help answer questions or write things down in a way that makes sense. They frequently are set up in a chat format, where a user types a prompt, then receives an answer. Prominent LLMs include: Open AI, Gemini, Claude, Poe and Grok. All of these have some type of free version you can use. 

Prompt

In the world of AI, a prompt is what you type into get the robot to generate text, answer a question or perform a task based on your input. Most of the items below are prompts. In some of these prompts, there will be specific details about your church that you need to enter for the AI to better understand what you’re talking about. These prompts can be entered into any LLM of your choosing.  

Bots

Bots are a little easier to use than many of the advanced prompts below. The reason is that they operate on a set of contained and predefined parameters. When you paste in the text to an LLM, you will then receive instructions for what details you need to enter for the AI to create a unique piece of content for your church. The disadvantage of bots is that they have a harder time doing functions outside their predefined parameters. For this reason, we built advanced prompts to handle some tasks, while using bots for others. Advanced prompts power these bots, so we may use prompts to describe parts of them, particularly the instructions given to the LLM, as these are technically prompts. 

Poe’s Free Custom Bots

Because Custom GPTs cost money and we know churches like yourself are on a tight budget, we built the equivalent on Poe. The platform has a free version, which allows you to use customized bots. Poe is an LLM by itself, but it allows users to use other LLMs such as Claude, Grok and Chat GPT. Once you sign up for an account, you can use any of our Poe bots for free. 

GPTs

Custom GPTs are specialized versions of Open AI’s tools. They focus on a narrow set of instructions and tasks to ensure the large language model creates content that fits the particular focus of the Custom GPT’s commands. Custom GPTs are a feature exclusive to Open AI and require a premium account to use. To access custom GPTs, follow the steps below. 

Step 1. Go to the Chat GPT Store

The Chat GPT Store is an online marketplace where you can find various tools and enhancements for your AI applications. Accessing the store is straightforward: simply visit the website and browse through the available GPTs by selecting “Explore GPTs” on the left-hand side. The store offers a range of tools designed to boost the effectiveness of your AI-generated content and many are free. You will need to subscribe to OpenAI to access these, but the cost is low – about $20 a month. 

Step 2. Search for a Prompt Enhancer

Next, search for a prompt enhancer. Many of them have been created and most of those that we’ve tried are very effective. At Vanco, we built one, Vanco Prompt Enhancer, which you can use if you’d like.  

Step 3. Why Prompt Enhancers Work

Enhancer’s like Vanco’s use advanced prompting techniques like Zero-Shot, Few-Shot and Chain-of-Thought to generate thorough prompts that can be copy and pasted in any AI tool. 

Using Free Prompts

Each one of these prompts is engineered using advanced prompting techniques. If you want to create content for free, all you need to do is sign up for a free Open AI, Gemini, Grok, Poe , Llama or other AI software account.  Then use the specific prompt we generated to build your content. Usually this involves: 

• Copying it from this blog. 
• Pasting it into the chat. 
• Hitting enter.  

Many of these prompts will require you to update them with your church’s unique details prior to feeding them into the platform you’re using. Others are designed to prompt you for additional details within the chatbot you’re using. If you’re not sure which one you would like to use, we recommend using Poe. It lets you select from a variety of different LLMs in your chat. This way you can see what one provides the best results.  

Social Media Posts

Social media offers an immediate and interactive platform. Your prompts should be concise, engaging and designed to spark conversation. Think about posts that encourage sharing, commenting and connecting, like inspirational quotes, event reminders or community highlights.

Blog Articles

Blogs are ideal for more in-depth exploration of topics. Prompts should be thought-provoking and informative, focusing on subjects that resonate with your audience. Here are some ChatGPT prompts for churches about blog articles for church leaders. 

Reflections on Weekly Sermons

For these, you’ll need your sermon transcript. To get your sermon’s transcript, you’ll need a tool that captures your script. Here’s a free one. Keep in mind that you may reach the maximum text limit for a chatbot window, as sermons can be lengthy.  

For this reason, it’s best to put your sermon notes in the designated place for each prompt sequence. The notes trim your sermon down and make it more manageable for the AI to work with. If you need to trim your sermon transcript down, simply ask the AI to “summarize the following sermon, ‘Insert Text of Sermon.’” Then hit enter before using the following prompts. It will provide you with a free and helpful sermon summary.  

You can also use this tool to grab the full transcript for free if you have it on YouTube.  

9. Creating a Summary Blog from a Sermon Transcript

Each week, pastors labor over heartfelt sermons that take them plenty of time to construct. What if you could write a blog summary from these sermons to start a weekly blog in just a few minutes? You can, and all you need to do is collect a transcript of your blog and the prompt below. For an optimal user experience, we recommend creating the summary blog and also embedding the YouTube video of the sermon. This will help your sermons get greater reach on the web. 

Instructions:  

• Get a transcript of your sermon.  

• If you have a recording of it, you can use this tool. 
• If you have it on YouTube, simply enter its link into this tool. 

• Copy and paste the prompt below into the chat.  
• Enter your sermon transcript into the chat and hit enter. 
• You’ll want to review the summary, but it should provide an advanced draft of a blog for you.

Full Blog Creator

This prompt is meant to be used with Prompt 10, the Blog Outliner. You will need to generate a complete outline for it. The format the blog outliner creates works best with the following prompt to create a full blog. 

12. Full Blog Creator Prompt

There’s an issue with creating lengthier content within AI bots. They have a limit to the amount of content they’ll produce in one response. For creating something like a full blog from an outline, it can be tricky, but it is possible. The key is to get the bot to write it in chunks, while referencing the previous chats. This makes it so the end product functions as one cohesive unit.  

Because most LLMs, like Chat GPT, Claude or others struggle to remember previous references, you’ll want to use a GPT or bot to do this. Or create your own. We've created two that you can use. 

Outline to Blog Builder for Churches GPT – As with all GPTs, you need to have a premium account to use it.  

Outline to Blog Builder for Churches Poe - For those looking to use the bot entirely for free, you can do so with a free Poe account.  

These tools are meant to be used with Prompt 10, the Blog Outliner. You will need to generate a complete outline for it, specifically one that is in five parts: intro, main body point one, main body point two, main body point three and conclusion. The blog outliner from prompt 10 will create an outline in this format.  

If you would rather input the bot instructions directly in your AI of your choice, copy and paste the section below into your chat window.  

• It will then prompt you to enter a topic or Bible verse to guide the blog outline. 
• Once you enter your five-part outline, it will create your entire post in three sections. You’ll have to hit continue after each section to have it generate the next portion of the blog. 

Note: As we mentioned, this approach doesn’t always work, which is why a bot provides better results. The best model at doing it this way, from our tests, was Llama 3. You can access the Llama LLM within Poe.

If you can include a key statistic and source, please do so. b) Utilize relevant anecdotes, quotes, or biblical passages to make the introduction engaging and relatable. c) Clearly state the main points that will be covered in the blog. When prompted, move on to the First third of the Body (approximately 350 words): a) Develop the first few key points from the outline, providing in-depth explanations and relevant examples. b) Use a mix of biblical references, real-life anecdotes, and thought-provoking questions to keep the audience engaged and reinforce the main message. c) Ensure that each point is well-supported by scriptures. d) Maintain a conversational yet authoritative tone throughout, as if directly addressing the congregation. When prompted again, proceed to the Second third of the body (approximately 350 words): a) Elaborate on the remaining key points from the outline, following the same guidelines as mentioned in the First third of the body. b) Use transitions to ensure a smooth flow between points and maintain coherence throughout the blog. c) Provide practical applications and actionable insights related to the main message. When prompted again, proceed to the Third third of the body (approximately 350 words): a) Elaborate on the remaining key points from the outline, following the same guidelines as mentioned in the First third of the body. b) Use transitions to ensure a smooth flow between points and maintain coherence throughout the blog. c) Provide practical applications and actionable insights related to the main message. When prompted for the final part, create the Conclusion (approximately 500 words): a) Summarize the main points and reiterate the central message of the blog. b) Provide a powerful call to action or reflection, inspiring the congregation to apply the lessons learned in their daily lives. c) Use motivational language and relevant biblical references to leave a lasting impact on the audience. After completing each part, review it to ensure coherence, clarity, and adherence to typical faith writing styles and teachings. Make any necessary revisions to enhance the overall impact and effectiveness of that section.
