Every church/organization has its own identity, from its denomination and core beliefs to its mission and the people who teach and speak within its community. Content Studio allows you to share these details so its AI can create content that's more closely aligned with your organization's identity and the way you communicate.
Let's take a look at how you can personalize these settings and why they matter.
Where can I find my organization's preferences?
You can manage your organization's preferences directly in Content Studio.
Open Settings.
Navigate to Organization.
Select Preferences.
Here, you'll find three options that help guide the AI when generating content.
Denomination: Choosing your denomination helps Content Studio AI provide responses that are more closely aligned with your organization's theological tradition.
Statement of Faith: This is where you can share your organization's core beliefs. It gives the AI a better understanding of the biblical principles and teachings that are important to your church.
Mission Statement: Your mission statement explains your organization's purpose. Sharing it helps the AI understand what your church is working toward and what it hopes to accomplish through its ministry.
Together, these preferences give Content Studio a better understanding of your organization and help shape the content it generates.
How do these settings actually affect my content?
Imagine two churches are creating a devotional based on the same passage: Philippians 4:13.
Philippians 4:11–13 (NIV)
"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
Both churches want to create a devotional around this passage, but their organizational preferences differ.
Church A: Finding contentment in God's sovereignty
Church A's statement of faith emphasizes God's sovereignty and the importance of trusting Him through every circumstance. Its mission focuses on discipleship and helping believers grow in their understanding of Scripture.
When Church A uploads the passage, Content Studio might generate a devotional that explores Paul's ability to find contentment regardless of his circumstances.
Rather than focusing on achieving personal goals, the devotional could emphasize how Paul's strength comes from Christ, even when life is difficult. It might encourage readers to trust God's provision, remain faithful during hardship, and find peace in His sovereignty. The devotional could conclude with a reflection on how trusting God changes our perspective when we face uncertainty.
Church B: Putting faith into practice
Church B's statement of faith emphasizes living out biblical teachings in everyday life. Its mission focuses on serving the local community and helping people put their faith into action.
Using the same passage, Content Studio might generate a devotional that focuses on how Paul's example of contentment can shape the way Christians approach everyday challenges. Rather than emphasizing hardship alone, the devotional could explore how believers can demonstrate contentment in their relationships, work, and service to others. It might encourage readers to rely on Christ's strength when facing financial difficulties, stressful situations, or opportunities to serve their neighbors.
The devotional could conclude with practical questions about how readers can demonstrate trust in Christ throughout their daily lives.
What's the difference?
Both devotionals are based on the same passage and recognize that Paul's strength comes from Christ. However, their emphasis and practical applications may differ.
Church A's devotional might focus more on trusting God's sovereignty and finding contentment through difficult circumstances.
Church B's devotional might focus more on applying that contentment to everyday life and serving others.
These differences illustrate how your organization's denomination, statement of faith, and mission statement can help guide the AI toward content that's more relevant to your church.
Note: These preferences guide the AI but they don't guarantee a particular interpretation or final result. You should always review generated content to make sure it accurately reflects your organization's teachings.
Can I choose a preferred Bible translation?
Absolutely! If your church regularly uses a specific Bible translation, you can set it as your preferred translation under Settings → Preferences.
When you set a preference, Content Studio AI will prioritize that translation when including Scripture quotes and references in generated content. If you leave the field blank, the AI will choose a translation at its discretion.
If your pastor regularly switches between different Bible translations, you may want to leave this field blank. That way, the AI has more flexibility to follow the translation used in the sermon.
Your preferred translation will always take precedence over the translation used in a sermon. For example, if your pastor preaches using the ESV but your organization's preferred translation is the NIV, Content Studio will prioritize the NIV when generating Scripture quotes and references.
Do I need to fill out every preference?
You don't have to complete every field to get started. However, providing more information about your organization gives Content Studio additional context when generating content. The more context you provide, the better equipped the AI is to generate content that reflects your organization's identity and ministry.
