Practice vs. Final

Practice on Wednesday, preach on Sunday, and bring your past reports along. The review lines them up so you can see what moved.

Why review a sermon?

Most of us never really hear our own preaching.

We study the text, write the lesson, and preach it. But the sermon the church hears isn't always the one we meant to give. A careful second listen closes that gap.

From the Pulpit

You can't hear yourself while you preach.

Pace, pauses, the words you lean on, and where the energy goes are hard to notice in the moment. A recording notices all of it, and the review tells you what it means.

At the Door

"Good sermon" is kind, but it isn't feedback.

Members love you and won't tell you the opening ran long or the invitation came after the peak. The review will, specifically and kindly, with the timestamp so you can hear it yourself.

Mid-Week

Practice is when change is easy.

Monday is too late to fix Sunday. A review of your practice run gives you days to tighten the main point, cut what isn't helping, and rehearse the one thing that matters most.

The Text First

Faithful to Scripture comes first.

Delivery matters, but it never outweighs the Word. Faithfulness to the text, focused use of Scripture, and the gospel carry the most weight in every score.

Two reviews, one sermon

Practice it. Preach it. Review it.

The Shepherd Who Counts to One Hundred

Luke 15:1–7 · 31 minutes
Energy Arc

The energy built through the parable and peaked at the key line. It dipped for three minutes during the side story about the county fair, then came back for the invitation.

What's Working

You let the grumbling in verse 2 set up the whole parable, so the joy at the end lands as an answer, not a slogan.

The Hard Truth, Said Kindly

The invitation started four minutes after the peak. By then the room had already landed. ▶ 27:10

The One Thing
Practice next time

Move straight from "rejoice with me" into the invitation.

Questions

Good to know

How long does a review take?

Reports go out by email within 24 hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central. Weekend submissions are reviewed starting Monday morning. For a practice run, send it by Thursday to have it back before the weekend.

Is a phone recording good enough?

Yes. Set the phone close to where you'll stand, keep the room quiet, and record the whole sermon in one take. See the recording tips.

Can I just paste a YouTube link?

A YouTube link is welcome. It turns the timestamps in your report into clickable links that open your video at the right moment. The review still needs the recording file itself. If the video is on your own channel, you can download it from YouTube Studio and upload that file.

What if I only have a manuscript or transcript?

You can submit a transcript for content scores. Pace, pauses, and energy can't be measured without a recording, and the report will say so plainly.

Why are both a practice and a final review useful?

The practice review tells you what to change while you still can. The final review tells you whether the change held up in front of the church. Together they show your growth from one week to the next.

Is this done by AI?

Yes. Love Your Sermon is an AI product, checked, regulated, and adjusted by a human. DaVinci Resolve transcribes the recording, and Claude analyzes it against a rubric written by a preacher. See the privacy promise for details.

Will it tell me the truth?

Yes, kindly. Scores aren't inflated, and a flat delivery won't be called engaging. Every hard word comes with a timestamp so you can hear it yourself, and with a clear next step.

What does the gospel thread look for?

God's love; Christ's death, burial, and resurrection; dependence on the Spirit; and the call to be baptized for the forgiveness of sins and receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, all through God's grace and mercy. This standard is the same for every sermon.

Sunday's coming. Hear it first.

Send your practice run by Thursday and have your review back before Sunday.
