A real archive
The more you've preached, the more Rewind is worth. Every year of recordings becomes searchable, cited memory — coverage, themes, and illustrations your team can actually use.
Give every message a life beyond Sunday.
Why it matters
By midweek, Sunday is already fading.
“For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.”
Scripture names the gap exactly. The call isn’t just to hear the word but to “do what it says” — and to not “forget what you heard” (James 1:22, 25). Teaching that sticks, Andy Stanley writes in Communicating for a Change, lands on one memorable idea, repeats it, and points to one clear next step.
Rewind is built for exactly that. It surfaces the one big idea and its application from each message, carries it through a 7-day devotional, hands your group a ready guide, and keeps the cited transcript a tap away — so the exact words stay in reach all week, not lost by Wednesday.

Who it's for
Built for churches with real archives and teaching teams
Rewind is at its best where there's the most to remember: churches with years of recorded preaching, more than one person in the pulpit, and a leadership team that plans the teaching calendar on purpose.
A teaching team
Multiple voices, one memory. Everyone preps from the same archive, so the teaching stays consistent across speakers and a new teacher inherits the pulpit's history instead of starting cold.
A line item, not a project
One annual church license keeps the cost predictable. No per-seat math, and members never pay.
For your congregation
Re-engage every message
Sunday doesn't have to end on Sunday. Rewind gives every member a way back into each message — to read it, ask about it, and carry it through the week.
01
Read, listen or watch
Return to the big idea, points and Scripture in a focused reader. Listen or watch where recordings are available, and pick up where you left off.
02
Ask and check the source
Ask about a message or search across the archive. Follow cited answers back to the sermon and the moment behind them.
03
Your own notes and saved moments
Keep private notes alongside a sermon, save a passage or clip, and return to what mattered. You choose whether to share a note.
04
Carry it into the week
Follow a seven-day devotional drawn from the message, with Scripture, reflection and prayer. Choose daily email reminders if they help your rhythm.
05
Gather with Together
Use a discussion guide from the weekend sermon, or lead a live gathering through Scripture, discussion and prayer. Keep prayer requests and praises with your group.
06
Find the message you remember
Search by words, meaning or Scripture across your church’s archive. Open the sermon behind a result and hear it in context.
How sermons get in
Your recordings. Your notes. Your choice to publish.
Set up your sermon sources once, choose the automation that fits your church, and keep your team in control of what reaches members.
01
Start with your recordings
A podcast feed or a direct audio or video file link supplies the recording. Your YouTube channel helps Rewind find and preview new messages.
02
Optional automatic podcast audio
Turn on automatic transcription for exact matches between a waiting sermon and your podcast episode. Daily and church spending limits apply; uncertain matches wait for your team.
03
Bring your Planning Center notes
Connect Planning Center Services and choose which service types Rewind reads. Bring your team’s Big Idea, Scripture, points, questions and next steps into the sermon workflow. Rewind currently reads these plans and does not write to Planning Center.
04
Review before members see it
Choose whether new sermons wait for your team to publish them. Review and edit the study content, while your church’s own notes keep their source.
05
Your church’s own space
Your name, colors and address give members a familiar place to return. Your team chooses whether sermons stay private or are publicly discoverable.
06
Clear about what AI contributes
AI-written study material is identified in context. Church-authored notes and direct sermon quotes keep their source. Always trust the sermon over the summary.
For groups
A shared rhythm from Sunday to the next gathering
Start with a discussion guide from the weekend sermon, lead a live Together gathering, and keep prayer requests and praises with your group through the week.
For your team
A teaching platform for your staff, too
Rewind Studio turns your archive into a planning, drafting, practice, and research workspace for the people who preach — and keeps a multi-speaker team consistent, because everyone preps from the same memory.
Members return to the message. Your team builds on the same archive to plan, draft and research, rehearse a message with feedback, and compare what was preached with what was planned.
Plan the yearDraft from past sermonsPractice & feedbackResearch across yearsHow we preachInsightsStudy sets
Plan the year against your scripture coverage and gaps — and against how your church engaged with past messages. Draft grounded in your own past treatments. Practice a message and get feedback. Research a theme across years. Studio drafts and rehearsals are staff-only — never shown to members, never indexed, never folded into the shared archive.
Trust
Built to be trusted with your church's words
Sensitive material — members' questions, staff drafts, your whole archive — handled with care by design.
Your church chooses what to share
Private church content stays separate. Your team chooses which sermons to make publicly available.
Members' conversations stay private
Questions and answers are private by default. Admins see activity counts and which sermons are used, and can review reported or unhelpful answers with their question context.
Staff work stays staff-only
Drafts and rehearsals stay in Studio. Members do not see them, and they are not added to the shared sermon archive.
