Your church has more data than you realize. It's just scattered across notebooks, spreadsheets, and your memory. This week, pastor Charlie Miller walks you through three practical ways to use AI to find patterns in your attendance, spot trends in your giving, and audit your guest follow-up process — even if your data is a mess. No database required. No tech skills needed. Three copyable prompts in the show notes.One problem. One solution. Every week. Subscribe now so you don't miss it.Prompt 1 — Attendance Trend Analysis:Here are my church's weekly attendance numbers for the past several months: [Paste your numbers — e.g., "Jan 5 - 52, Jan 12 - 48, Jan 19 - 61, Jan 26 - 55..."]Can you help me see any patterns or trends? Are we growing, declining, or stable? Are there any seasonal patterns? Are there any Sundays that were unusually high or low that I should pay attention to? Give me a summary a non-technical person can understand.Prompt 2 — Giving Pattern Analysis:Here are my church's weekly giving totals for the past six months:[Paste your numbers]Can you identify any trends, seasonal patterns, or concerns? How does our giving correlate with our attendance? Are there any months or weeks I should look at more closely?Prompt 3 — Guest Follow-Up Audit:Here's a list of recent first-time guests at my church. For each one, I've noted when they visited and what follow-up we did:[List them — e.g., "John and Mary, visited Oct 15, sent follow-up email, they came back twice then stopped. Steve, visited Nov 3, no follow-up, haven't seen him since."]Can you help me identify any patterns in our follow-up process? Where are we losing people? What could we do better?Privacy Reminder: Use first names only, initials, or descriptions like "Family A" when sharing member details with AI tools.
