Creating Bible-based videos that go viral takes more than stunning visuals — it starts with a powerful script.
In this lesson, we’ll show you how to use ChatGPT and other large language models to generate engaging, faith-centered video scripts for TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube Shorts.
Whether you’re teaching Scripture, exploring Bible history, or sharing devotional content — GPT can help you write better, faster, and more strategically.
💡 Why Scriptwriting Matters in Christian Video Creation
It doesn’t matter how beautiful your MidJourney visuals are. If your script doesn’t hook the viewer or communicate spiritual truth clearly, your video won’t resonate — or rank.
- A strong hook gets people to stop scrolling.
- A clear message keeps them watching.
- A powerful ending inspires them to like, comment, and share — and maybe even seek Christ.
That’s why we begin here: learning to write Bible-based scripts with GPT that are accurate, compelling, and deeply relevant.
🛠️ Step 1: Choose the Right GPT Model
When you log into ChatGPT, don’t just use the default chatbot. To get faithful and reliable Christian content, you need to explore specialized GPTs.
Here’s how:
- Open ChatGPT and click on “Explore GPTs” on the left sidebar.
- Use the search bar to find models tailored for your topic — for example:
- “Bible” for Scripture-focused content
- “Christian Theology” for doctrinal accuracy
- “Biblical Storytelling” for narrative formats
- Select one with high user ratings or labeled for Christian or Bible-based use.

🙅 Why Not Use the Default GPT?
The base GPT model is great, but it can sometimes generate inaccurate or theologically inconsistent content, especially on nuanced religious topics.
For example, it may:
- Misquote Scripture
- Oversimplify complex theology
- Blend Bible stories with mythology or fiction
For Bible content, accuracy and reverence matter. A small error could lead to mistrust or misinformation. That’s why specialized GPTs are safer for Christian creators.
🔍 Step 2: Pick a High-Potential Bible Topic
Once you’ve selected a trustworthy GPT, it’s time to pick a topic that will resonate.
There are 2 simple ways to do this:
✅ Option A: Let GPT Generate Ideas
Prompt:
“Act as a viral Christian video scriptwriter. Give me 5 short-form video ideas based on lesser-known Bible stories that could go viral on TikTok or YouTube Shorts.”
This often returns ideas like:
- “Why Did God Turn Lot’s Wife into Salt?”
- “The Talking Donkey: God’s Unusual Messenger”
- “David’s 3 Brothers: Forgotten Heroes?”
You can then ask GPT to develop a full video script for the one you like.
✅ Option B: Analyze What’s Already Viral
- Go to TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram
- Search for hashtags like #BibleStories, #FaithTok, #ChristianShorts
- Save videos with high views and comments
- Paste 2–3 successful scripts into GPT and ask:
“Use these examples to write a Bible video script with a similar tone and format.”
This method is especially effective for faith-based storytelling with mass appeal.
📥 Bonus: How to Extract Video Scripts from TikTok
To study top-performing videos, you may want to extract or recreate the script.
Here’s how:
- Use tools like ssstik.io or snaptik.app to download TikTok videos without watermarks.
- Upload the video to an AI transcription tool (like Whisper, Otter.ai, or even ChatGPT with a plugin).
- Copy the transcribed text into ChatGPT and say:
“Summarize this into a short-form script with a hook, body, and conclusion.”
That’s it — you now have a reverse-engineered viral format tailored for your niche.
🙌 Final Thoughts: Honor God With Excellence
Writing Bible scripts with GPT isn’t just about getting views. It’s about using modern tools to magnify timeless truth.
Yes, AI can save time. But your message still matters most.
- Choose tools wisely
- Respect Scripture deeply
- Create with both strategy and Spirit
