Why a method matters
A method keeps AI from becoming generic religious content. The sermon remains the source, and the output is shaped for the actual person, room, or week.
Direct answer
What is the sermon-to-week method?
The sermon-to-week method is Ponder's five-step framework for sermon-based discipleship: hearing, naming, carrying, practicing, and reviewing. It keeps the sermon as the source while helping a user create faithful drafts for the week.
Why review is part of the method
Review is not cleanup at the end. It is the trust step that checks reference accuracy, doctrine, pastoral sensitivity, and whether the draft should be used at all.

Common questions
What are the five steps?
The five steps are hearing, naming, carrying, practicing, and reviewing.
Does the method work for more than one audience?
Yes. The same sermon can become different reviewed drafts for parents, groups, classrooms, students, and personal devotion.
Try the answer with a real sermon.
Bring a sermon you have the right to use, choose the audience, and review the draft before teaching, sharing, or using it with someone else.
