Inside Studio
Plan the year on a board — series, passages, and a scripture-coverage heatmap of what you've preached and the gaps, with the topics and books you're about to repeat flagged as you plan. AI can suggest a series — and you accept, edit, or discard every suggestion.
Draft in a workspace grounded in your own past sermons and treatments. You write first; AI can assist after — and every AI-assisted section is marked.
Record or upload a run-through and get back timing, pacing, and a listener's read on your big idea — then share it with the team for feedback.
Ask across years, trace a theme over time, or compare how a passage has been treated. Follow cited findings back to the sermon and timestamp.
See the homiletic shape of any past message — its movements, scripture handling, and illustrations.
See how your church teaches — scripture and canon coverage, recurring themes, the shape of your messages, and how members engage — across years of preaching.
Curate sermons, passages, and notes into ordered sets — for onboarding, teaching, or training.
The difference
Other prep tools help a preacher write the next sermon. Rewind Studio is a workspace for the whole teaching team, built on your church's own cited archive — plan against coverage and gaps, draft from past treatments, rehearse and get a listener's read on your big idea, and compare what you preached to what you planned.
Cited findings point back to the sermon and timestamp — so you can hear what was actually said, in context.
Ask a question once and search the whole archive — every transcript, theme, and passage your church has taught, not generic source material.
Rehearse a message and get a listener's read on your big idea, then measure what you preached against what you planned. Carry what you learn into the next message.
How teams work
Studio is built for a team, not a soloist. Drafts are shared, feedback is anchored to the exact line, and the work flows in one loop — plan, draft, practice, preach — back into the archive it started from.
The teaching team works in one drafting space — current outlines, past treatments, and every past sermon all in reach, no copies emailed around.
Leave feedback anchored to the exact line or section, and review a message before the weekend without losing the thread.
Plan → draft → practice → preach → back into the archive → measured against the plan. What you teach becomes what you prepare from next.
From your team to the church
Keep the teaching your team has already written alongside the recording, then decide what is ready for members.
Connect Planning Center, choose your service types and read the Big Idea, Scripture, points, questions and next steps your team already writes. Rewind does not write back to Planning Center.
Turn on review before publishing new sermons. Your team can edit the study content and choose when it reaches members; church-written notes keep their source.
Search the archive and read transcripts from the AI tool you already use, through a connection that can’t change your sermons. Source links bring you back to the sermon.
Trust & ownership
Studio is a study aid for the people who carry the teaching — not a replacement for it. AI assists after you've done the thinking, staff work stays with the staff, and your church's content stays yours.
Drafts and rehearsals stay in the teaching team's workspace. Members do not see them, and they are not added to the shared sermon archive.
AI assists only after you write your own big idea — the thinking stays yours. Provenance is tracked and shown, and every AI-assisted section is marked.
Your church's private teaching material stays separate. Your team controls which sermons become publicly available.
See how Rewind builds on the years your church has already preached — and what it gives the people who prepare every weekend.
