Your Sunday sermon, working all week.

Your livestream becomes a podcast

Most churches stopped podcasting because editing every week was too much work. Divining takes the video you already post on YouTube, Vimeo or Facebook, finds where the sermon starts and ends, and publishes just the sermon as a podcast episode.

See what your website tells visitors you stand for

People looking for a new church read your website before they visit. We read it too, and check 29 things visitors often look for: welcome for LGBTQ+ people, anti-racism, creation care, accessibility, children's programs, online worship, your statement of faith and more. Then we show how your site compares with other churches in your denomination.

Every finding quotes the sentence on your site it came from. If we missed something, tell us and we'll correct it. See every church in the Church values report.

Share a podcast with churches like yours

A podcast with a weekly sermon from one church has a small audience. Several like-minded congregations in the same area, or the same conference, synod or district, can publish one shared podcast together and promote it to all their members. Each church's sermons go in automatically, so nobody carries the work.

Learn what resonates with your congregation

Invite your members to explore your sermons on Divining. You'll see which sermons and topics people return to across the whole site. When members create an account and choose your church as their home church, you also see what your own congregation explores, as totals, never as individuals.

Your church page also shows the topics you preach on most, how they shift over the year, and how your preaching compares with churches in your tradition.

Your archive, preserved and searchable

Every sermon is transcribed, split into topics from more than 1,800, and listed alongside other churches' sermons on the same subjects. The audio and transcript are saved on the Internet Archive, so your preaching outlasts any website or hosting plan.

Your church gets a public page with its sermons, themes, a timeline of what was published each week, and the website comparison. Browse church pages.

For your members and ministers

Members can build their own personal theology from the sermons that speak to them, take a short spirituality quiz, and explore the topics map. Small groups and classes can find past sermons on whatever they're studying.

Ministers can see how other preachers handled the same text or theme, and jump straight to that moment in the audio. Seminary students use it the same way.

You stay in control

Once you claim your church, the Studio lets you decide what appears. Turn the podcast feed on or off, choose which episodes are in it, unpublish a sermon, correct a date, request that older recordings be archived, and invite other staff to help manage it.
