Quick answer
Use sermon repurposing in Collie by uploading or referencing an existing sermon, choosing a transformation like social captions or small-group questions, and reviewing the output before publishing.
Steps
- 1. Start from existing sermon material: Use a sermon recording, transcript, outline, or notes from a message already preached or prepared by the pastor.
- 2. Choose a transformation: Ask Collie for social captions, devotional emails, small-group questions, recap bullets, or a discussion guide.
- 3. Check theological fidelity: Review the output against the original sermon and edit anything that overstates, adds, or changes the meaning.
- 4. Approve publication: Queue social posts, emails, or other external actions in Pending before publishing.

Refused sermon work
The boundary is simple: Collie does not generate new sermons.

- No inventing illustrations for the pastor.
- No creating new theology attributed to church leadership.
