Run a scholarly literature review on a pastoral topic
Researchers use this tool to find papers, pull out key findings and compare studies. Pastor use: before teaching on grief, addiction or loneliness, survey what the research actually says and read the strongest papers yourself.
Our rule: AI helps with study, research and admin. The pastor still studies, verifies and writes the sermon.
