Wintley Phipps Introduces AI Model to Generate Sermons and Theological Aid
28 March 2025 |
In an interview with Danny Shelton and his wife, Pastor Wintley Phipps introduced his new artificial intelligence model, GospelTruth.ai, on the Three Angels Broadcasting Network show, 3ABN Today. Phipps created the model out of concern for existing AI systems that tend to skim both sacred and secular materials, often providing repetitive or contradictory answers.
An article from the Adventist News Network, covering the initial interview, Phipps claims that the program will be capable of full sermon generation, biblically sound responses, deep theological research, multilingual capabilities, efficient sermon preparation, and options for export and sharing. Phipps says it will generate a well-researched sermon or Bible study outline within minutes based on the prompts it receives, with multilingual capabilities. Phipps emphasizes that the AI tool is not just for pastors but also for lay people eager to enhance their personal study, and encourage deeper biblical understanding.
An editor’s note in the article clarifies that GospelTruth.ai has not been individually tested and is not intended to replace personal scripture study, but rather serves as a resource. Commenters from the 3ABN Today interview have expressed concerns about whether AI should be used to formulate full sermons, and have questioned the authenticity of teachings that rely on artificial processing. Conversely, some commenters praised the tool as a valuable resource, reminding others to use it as intended to fully benefit from it.
It remains to be seen how this tool will affect pastoral studies and church attendance.
