Turning one sermon into a full week of discipleship content is the problem MinistryHelper.ai was built to solve. Paste a YouTube link from Sunday's service and the platform generates 30 pieces of content — video clips, social posts, devotionals, small group guides, kids lessons, and more — all written in your pastor's voice and calibrated to your church's theology.^1
The platform splits into two suites. After Sunday extends the sermon's impact through the week: six video clips sized for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts; twelve social media posts for pastor, staff, and volunteer accounts; a five-day devotional plan; small group discussion and deep study guides; a pastor's blog post; and two coaching reports — a Sermon Insights Report with mentor-like feedback and a Golden Moments Report highlighting the sermon's most resonant points. Before Sunday prepares the whole team before the message is even delivered: seventeen pieces including teaser emails, sermon prep notes, slide-deck speaker notes, volunteer huddle guides, and age-specific kids, pre-teen, and teen lessons synced to the upcoming sermon. The Abundance plan unlocks both suites in a single weekly workflow; individual modules like the Sermon Quiz, Follow-Up Social Scripts, and Video Clipper are also available à la carte.^2
MinistryHelper learns each pastor's unique voice, style, and theology by analyzing uploaded sermons — so the content it produces sounds like it came from the church, not a generic AI.^1 Two free, no-account tools let anyone sample the platform: Instant Sermon Quiz turns any sermon into a 10-question quiz shareable by text message,^7 and Instant Devo generates a Monday–Friday devotional plan from a single sermon link, delivered by text and email.^10
Founded by JR Johnson — a serial technology entrepreneur and attorney whose earlier venture Trippy.com raised funding from Sequoia, True Ventures, and SV Angel — the team is based in the Los Angeles area and serves churches of any size and denomination, with sales and onboarding led by Cody Cook.^3^9
