How do you prepare ministry students for a digital world that’s constantly changing?
That’s the question Southeastern University’s Barnett College of Ministry & Theology (SEU) set out to tackle with Subsplash.
This partnership is designed to equip SEU’s 2,200 pastoral students with the power of Pulpit AI—an innovative tool to enhance sermon preparation, streamline workflows, and more. By combining technology with hands-on training, SEU is helping students step confidently into the future of ministry.
Dr. Chris Palmer, Dean of the Barnett College of Ministry & Theology, emphasizes the impact this partnership has on the future of the Church: “Our partnership with Subsplash ensures that our graduates are well-prepared to lead and communicate in today’s world. We believe Pulpit AI will be an invaluable asset to our students as they prepare for ministry.”
For SEU, incorporating Pulpit AI into the curriculum represents more than just adopting digital tools—it’s about reimagining how ministry is done in the digital age. Dr. Michael Steiner, Senior Vice President of Advancement and Innovation, states, “This technology allows [our students] to explore new depths in their sermon preparation and delivery, ensuring their messages resonate powerfully.”
This collaboration highlights SEU’s commitment to innovation and forward-thinking ministry education. By embracing tools like Pulpit AI, SEU is ensuring its students are not only prepared to deliver compelling sermons but also to graduate with the skills and tools necessary to thrive as future church leaders in a digital world.
So, what is Pulpit AI? At the heart of this partnership is a revolutionary tool by Subsplash that empowers pastors and ministry students to research, refine, and deliver stronger, more impactful sermons. Beyond sermon assistance, Pulpit AI also transforms these messages into over 20 shareable ministry content and resources—including devotionals, Bible studies, social media content, and more!
SEU recognizes the importance of preparing students for the future of church leadership, including preparing them to adapt to emerging technologies. This relationship reflects a shared vision of leveraging technology to empower churches for the future of ministry.
Subsplash’s mission has always been to equip church leaders with innovative technology to make the greatest impact possible for the gospel.
“We’re incredibly excited to partner with SEU,” remarks Michael Whittle, VP of AI at Subsplash. “Our mission with Pulpit AI is to empower pastors to effectively communicate the gospel. By providing students access to our technology, we’re investing in the next generation of church leaders.”
Chris Sharpe, CRO of Subsplash, explains, “There’s never been a better time for young pastors to increase their impact with the latest innovations and technology. We’re thankful for world-changing partners like SEU who want to see the Kingdom expand today.”
Today, Americans spend an average of four and a half hours a day on their phone, with Gen Z reaching an average of nine hours a day. With each hour that goes by, worldviews are being shaped by TikTok, Instagram, Spotify, YouTube, online influencers, and more—forming users’ theology without them even fully realizing it.
Recognizing the unprecedented influence of technology on everyday life, Subsplash sees an urgent need for church leaders to engage people where they are—online. By integrating tools like Pulpit AI into ministry training, pastors can meet younger generations in the digital spaces where their faith is being shaped, helping ensure the gospel meets people where they’re already at online.
Now, by equipping ministry students with cutting-edge tools and grounding them in timeless biblical truths, SEU and Subsplash are shaping a future where church leaders are empowered, confident, and ready to share the gospel in every digital space.
Pulpit AI by Subsplash is designed to help church leaders amplify their message with greater ease and efficiency. By combining advanced AI technology with theological resources, Pulpit AI assists in sermon research, content creation, and delivery—empowering leaders to communicate the gospel clearly and effectively, saving immense time, energy, money, and more.
