## A sermon notes app should help you live what you heard

A blank page can preserve words. Lumin is built for the next part: finding the
sermon's thread, keeping the Scripture visible, choosing what stays, and returning
when Sunday feels far away.

The goal is not a larger archive. It is one grounded Anchor and one faithful next
step you chose for the week in front of you.

## Ways to add a sermon

- **A sermon link** — Bring in a sermon from a link you are allowed to use.
- **An audio file** — Choose sermon audio you already have permission to use.
- **A recording** — Record only when the speaker, church, and venue permit it.

## How Lumin carries a sermon into the week

### 01 — Bring in Sunday

Start with a link, an audio file, or a recording made with permission.

### 02 — See the thread

Receive a usable digest with the sermon’s takeaways and key Scripture.

### 03 — Choose what stays

Keep one grounded Anchor and write one faithful next step for yourself.

### 04 — Return in the week

Reopen the sermon when Sunday feels far away and ask a follow-up question.

## From notes to practice

- **Digest** — The sermon’s main thread in a form you can return to.
- **Key Scripture** — The passages named so you can open and read them yourself.
- **Anchor** — One grounded line you choose to carry.
- **Faithful next step** — One concrete response you write for your actual week.

## Recording permission

Ask before recording a live sermon. Follow the speaker's, church's, and venue's
rules, and only add links or audio you are allowed to use. If recording is not
permitted, do not record.

## Spiritual authority

Lumin can organize and help you revisit a sermon. It does not replace the sermon,
Scripture, your pastor, discernment, or church community. Open the passages and
compare every summary or answer with the source.

## Common questions

### What is a sermon notes app?

A sermon notes app helps you capture and revisit what you heard. Lumin goes beyond storing notes: it turns a sermon into a digest with key Scripture, helps you choose one Anchor and one faithful next step, and gives you a place to return during the week.

### How can I add a sermon to Lumin?

You can add a sermon link, an audio file, or a recording. Only upload material you are allowed to use, and record a live sermon only when the speaker, church, and venue permit it.

### What does Lumin make from a sermon?

Lumin prepares a digest with the main takeaways and key Scripture. From there, you can choose an Anchor, write one faithful next step, and return to the sermon with a follow-up question during the week.

### Does Lumin replace listening to the sermon or reading the Bible?

No. The sermon, its context, and Scripture remain the sources. AI can help organize and revisit what was said, but it does not carry spiritual authority and does not replace the preacher, your pastor, discernment, or church community.

### Can I ask questions about a sermon later?

Yes. Once the sermon is ready, you can return during the week and ask a follow-up question. Check the answer against the sermon and open the Scripture passages yourself.

### What devices does Lumin support?

Lumin is currently available for iPhone and iPad through the Apple App Store.

### Is Lumin free?

Lumin is free to start. Optional Lumin+ access is available in the app for higher usage limits and The Counsel.

### How is Lumin different from a general notes or transcription app?

A general notes app preserves what you type, and a transcription tool focuses on turning audio into text. Lumin is designed for the sermon-to-week step: a digest, the Scripture named, one Anchor you choose, one faithful next step you write, and a place to return with a follow-up question.

### How does Lumin handle sermon content and account data?

Sermon material you add is handled as account content under Lumin’s privacy policy. Only add material you are allowed to use. The policy explains storage, third-party processing, retention, and account deletion; review it before adding sensitive or private material.
