Lesson 1: How to Make Bible-Based Videos with AI — And Actually Earn from Them
Welcome to Lesson 1 of BibleWithLife’s AI Christian Content Creation Course — your step-by-step guide to using artificial intelligence to create impactful, Bible-centered videos that inspire and generate income.
In today’s digital age, thousands are using AI tools to make content, but few understand how to use them effectively for Christian storytelling. This course is designed to change that.
Whether you want to share stories from Genesis to Revelation, spread the Gospel creatively, or build a faith-based audience online — this guide is for you.
📉 Why Most AI Bible Videos Don’t Make Money
Let’s look at a real example:
A TikTok channel has 140K followers. It posts beautifully made Bible-based videos, but they’re all about 10 seconds long.
Sounds great, right? Wrong.
Short videos like this don’t qualify for TikTok Creator Rewards, because they’re too short. Even if they go viral, they won’t bring revenue.
Moral of the story?
Virality without monetization is not sustainable ministry or business.
🛠️ AI Tools Alone Won’t Fund Your Mission
Many creators believe that using ChatGPT or MidJourney alone will grow a Christian channel and produce income.
But AI is not the message — it’s just the method.
As believers, we’re called to steward technology wisely.
That means using AI to amplify God’s Word — not to chase views with shortcuts.
True, AI gives us new opportunities — especially in the Christian content niche where demand is high but supply is still low.
But here’s the truth:
- AI doesn’t replace wisdom
- It doesn’t replace prayer
- And it doesn’t replace quality content rooted in Scripture
📖 What Works: Faith + Storytelling + Strategy
To make effective Bible videos with AI, you need more than just a script and some animations. You need:
✅ A clear message rooted in Scripture
✅ Tools to bring that message to life
✅ A strategy to get it in front of the right audience
That’s what we teach at BibleWithLife.
Here’s how we break it down:
🔄 The Complete Workflow for Monetized AI Bible Videos
We’ll show you how to use AI in every step of Christian video production:
| Stage | AI Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| ✍️ Idea & Theme | ChatGPT / Claude | Generate biblical topics, sermon series, Bible stories |
| 📜 Scriptwriting | ChatGPT / HailuoAI | Turn Scripture into storytelling-friendly scripts |
| 🎙️ Voiceovers | ElevenLabs / HailuoAI | Create natural-sounding narration |
| 🖼️ Visuals | MidJourney / Leonardo.AI | Generate AI images of biblical scenes |
| 🎬 Video Editing | RunwayML / CapCut | Sync visuals, narration, effects |
| 🎵 Music | AI music tools / stock | Add background music or ambient sound |
This workflow doesn’t just save time — it creates professional, Gospel-driven videos in hours, not weeks.
📈 Once You Have Views, Here’s How You Earn:
- TikTok Creator Rewards (if your video is long enough)
- YouTube Shorts + AdSense (monetize with mid-rolls and overlays)
- Promote devotionals or Christian books (sell your own or use affiliate links)
- Drive traffic to your Christian website or store
- Offer prayer journals, Bible study PDFs, or merchandise
Faith-based audiences are highly engaged, and when you build trust through quality content, you open the door to many income streams.
🧠 Faith, Not FOMO: Why Christian Creators Should Use AI
Using AI for Bible storytelling isn’t about following trends — it’s about using every available tool to spread God’s Word with excellence.
We aren’t replacing biblical study with automation. We’re using AI to:
- Speed up creation
- Reach more souls
- Share truth creatively in a digital world
When done prayerfully and intentionally, this process becomes not just profitable — but powerful.
