We are so excited to announce the launch of a brand new partnership with the software company, Subsplash, to empower the next generation of pastors and future church leaders with accessible AI technology.
Merging Theology with Technology
Subsplash offers technological solutions for churches, ministries, and nonprofits, such as Pulpit AI — an innovative tool designed to enhance sermon preparation and delivery. The Barnett College of Ministry & Theology will be collaborating with the Pulpit AI team to develop and innovate theologically-trusted AI tools. Faculty and students will participate in research projects, product testing, and an annual AI seminar.
“At SEU, we recognize the importance of integrating trusted AI technology within education,” said Dr. Chris Palmer, dean of the Barnett College of Ministry & Theology. “Our goal is to unite theology and AI technology within the same forums, creating an AI product that is not only recommended by both professors and students, but continuously improved by and for professors and students.”
Enhancing Student Learning
In addition, our ministry and theology students will receive subscriptions to Pulpit AI to use in their coursework and assignments.
“Equipping our students with the latest technological resources is crucial,” expressed Dr. Palmer. “We believe that this strategic partnership with Subsplash and Pulpit AI will ensure that our graduates are acquiring the skills needed to effectively communicate the gospel and thrive in their future ministerial roles.”
Students will be able to utilize Pulpit AI to refine and strengthen their sermons with suggested Scripture references, historical citations, ideas for openers and transitions, practical applications, and more. Pulpit AI also provides the option to transform messages into additional forms of content such as devotionals, Bible studies, and discussion guides.
Expanding the Kingdom Through Innovation
“We are incredibly excited to partner with SEU,” said Michael Whittle, founder of Pulpit AI and VP of AI at Subsplash. “Our mission with Pulpit AI is to empower pastors with the best tools to effectively communicate the gospel. By providing SEU students access to our technology, we are investing in the next generation of church leaders.”
“There has never been a better time for young pastors to increase their impact with technology and the latest innovations. We are thankful for world changers and thoughtful partners like SEU who want to see the Kingdom expand today,” added Subsplash CRO Chris Sharpe.
