How In Touch Ministries partnered with Gloo to bring timeless truth into the age of AI.
Overview
For over six decades, In Touch Ministries has stewarded one of the most trusted voices in Christian teaching: Dr. Charles Stanley. But in a digital-first world, even the most impactful messages can become hard to access — hidden in time-stamped formats, long-form video, and audio files.
In partnership with Gloo AI, In Touch embarked on a bold initiative: to enrich, structure, and activate their entire sermon archive using values-aligned artificial intelligence.
The result? A new kind of discovery experience — one that lets people search spiritually, explore by topic, and rediscover biblical wisdom like never before.
“We didn’t need to change the message. We just needed to unlock it.”
The Challenge
A Legacy Locked in Time-Based Media
With 60 years of long-form sermons, In Touch faced a familiar digital challenge:
Sermons were rich in wisdom but hard to search
New generations wanted bite-sized insight and easy access
The ministry needed a solution that would preserve theological integrity while offering modern usability
Manual tagging and transcription tools weren’t enough. This required semantic AI — technology that understands nuance, context, and spiritual intent.
The Solution
AI That Understands Theology, Honors the Message, and Powers Discovery
In Touch Ministries deployed Gloo’s Values-Aligned AI Data Engine to transform their static archive into an intelligent, interactive experience.
What the solution includes:
Semantic Search — Ask questions like “What does the Bible say about fear?” and get timestamped sermon clips
“Best Answers” Surfacing — AI pinpoints the exact moments where Dr. Stanley addresses a topic
Multi-Use Metadata — One sermon fuels clips, summaries, and assistant training data
Custom UI & Embeds — Seamless integration into In Touch’s digital ecosystem
Faith-Aligned Language Models — Ensures biblical fidelity and spiritual tone
This isn’t AI that rewrites the message. It’s AI that reveals it more clearly.
How It Works
Ingest & Enrich: Sermons are uploaded, transcribed, and enriched with topic-level metadata, tone, and structure.
Search & Discover: Users can search by spiritual questions or biblical themes and instantly access relevant teaching clips.
Engage & Share: Clips can be watched, shared, or used to guide deeper discipleship — all while preserving Dr. Stanley’s voice and message.
The Strategic Impact
Even in its early stages, this project shows what’s possible when AI meets mission:
Thousands of sermons structured for reuse
Decades of content searchable in seconds
Spiritual discovery becomes intuitive and engaging
Legacy content now serves next-gen audiences
This is digital discipleship at scale — and a model other ministries can follow.
Looking Ahead
A Blueprint for Redeeming Evergreen Content
In Touch Ministries has created more than an archive upgrade. They’ve set a precedent:
“If your organization has years of sermons, devotionals, or teaching content — you don’t need to reinvent the message. You need to reimagine how people find it.” - Vice President, AI Strategy and Operations
With Gloo AI, organizations can now:
Enrich 1,000s of hours of evergreen content
Equip digital search and discovery without compromising voice or values
Bring the past into the present — and prepare for the future
