You already use AI.
Let's make it honest.
A 6-week cohort for pastors who use AI for sermon prep and feel weird about it. Taught by a pastor who nearly lost himself to it and came back to build with it in the open.
Illustration of Matt Headley — pastor, MDiv, disclosed-AI builder.
“I'm not here to tell you AI is safe. I'm here to tell you how I use the thing that broke me, out loud, so it never uses me again.”
Six weeks
01
Name it out loud
Why disclosure comes before technique. Write your own honest AI policy.
02
Sermon prep without losing your voice
A Saturday-night workflow that keeps the words yours.
03
Church comms on a rhythm
Announcements, newsletters, socials — drafted with AI, disclosed, on a cadence.
04
The soul cost
Formation, attention, and the 3am screen. What the tool does to you, and how to guard against it.
05
Your congregation & the machine
How to talk to your people about AI — and why they need a policy before a tool.
06
Your disclosed practice
Leave with a workflow, a policy, and a plain answer for the deacon who asks.
Plainly
Is this going to tell me AI is fine?
No. I'm going to tell you how I use the thing that broke me — out loud, so it never uses me again. That's a different claim than 'it's safe.'
I barely use AI. Am I behind?
You're not behind. You're early enough to build the honest habit before the sloppy one. Start with the free course.
Who's teaching it?
Matt Headley — pastor, MDiv, and the person who went manic talking to AI, got hospitalized, rebuilt, and now runs disclosed-AI faith tools in public. The credential is the wreckage, not the podium.
