Translations and traditions we support

The full list, what changes between them, and how to set defaults.

Ponder supports NIV, ESV, NLT, CSB, NASB, KJV, NKJV, and MSG, along with major Christian tradition presets.

What translation changes

The selected translation affects how scripture references and quoted passages are attributed in generated content. Always review scripture quotations before using output publicly.

What tradition changes

Tradition settings guide tone and avoid needless friction. The sermon remains the source of truth if preferences conflict with the sermon's doctrine.

Use it well

  • Set your default translation before generating so attribution matches your normal church or family use.
  • Read quoted Scripture carefully, especially if you will print, teach, or share the output.
  • Use doctrinal notes for recurring convictions, then let the sermon lead where it speaks clearly.

Settings guide the draft, but they do not outrank Scripture, the sermon, or your responsibility to review.

Frequently asked questions

Does Ponder change the sermon to fit my tradition?

No. Tradition settings guide tone, but the sermon remains the source.

Review before using.

Ponder support articles describe the intended workflow. Generated output still needs human review before teaching, sharing, or using it with a child, student, group, or church.
