Unified Sermon Management: Audio & Video Support TheFaithApp empowers you to share sermons in any format your ministry needs:

  • Audio Sermons: Upload MP3/WAV files or embed external audio links.

  • Video Sermons: Upload MP4 files, integrate YouTube/Vimeo/Dailymotion links, or stream via MPD/M3U8 for advanced hosting.

How to Create a Sermon

  1. Navigate to Sermons:

    • Go to the Sermons tab in your Admin Dashboard.

    • Select + Add Audio Sermon or + Add Video Sermon.

  2. Add Core Details:

    • Title: Craft a clear, engaging title (e.g., “Finding Hope in Hard Times”).

    • Category: Assign to a relevant category (e.g., “Weekly Sermons”).

    • Description: Summarize key themes or include discussion prompts.

    • Cover Photo: Upload a high-quality image (e.g., sermon series artwork).

  3. Upload Media:

    • For Audio: Attach a file or paste a direct audio URL.

    • For Video: Choose between file upload, YouTube/Vimeo link, or streaming URL.

  4. Set Duration:

    • Input the sermon’s length (e.g., 45:00) to help members plan their time.

  5. Publish: Save to instantly share with your congregation.

Why This Matters:

  • Flexibility: Support multiple formats to match your technical setup.

  • Accessibility: Cater to members’ preferences (e.g., streaming vs. downloads).

  • Professionalism: Elevate your brand with consistent thumbnails and organized content.

Best Practices for Sermon Success

  • Optimize Thumbnails: Use bold text and visuals to make sermons stand out.

  • Leverage Categories: Group sermons into series (e.g., “Advent 2024”) for easy discovery.

  • Schedule Ahead: Pre-load content to ensure seamless weekly updates.
