# Keep Sunday with you all week > By Tuesday, most of Sunday’s sermon is gone. Sermon Week helps you keep it. Bring in the message, get a clear digest and the Scripture behind it, hold on to one Anchor line, and choose one faithful step for the week. When Monday gets loud, come back to it without starting over. Comparing sermon note and transcription apps? See [Read the sermon notes app guide](https://www.lumin.faith/sermon-notes-app.md). Canonical source: https://www.lumin.faith/sermon-week App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lumin-bible-ai-companion/id6754889412 Updated: 2026-09-22 ## What Sermon Week is (not the whole app) Sermon Week turns the sermon you heard into something you can live with for seven days: a short digest, the passages it drew on, and one line to carry. It’s the heart of how Lumin helps you keep Sunday. It isn’t the whole app. Lumin is a Bible companion for the days between Sundays, and Sermon Week sits beside [Ask](https://www.lumin.faith/ask.md), [Bible Coach](https://www.lumin.faith/bible-coach.md), and [Pray](https://www.lumin.faith/pray.md). ## Import → digest → Anchor → one faithful step Bring in the sermon however you have it: a YouTube link, a podcast episode, an audio file, or a recording you made with permission. Lumin gives you a clear digest, the key Scripture, and an Anchor line to carry into the week. Then choose one faithful step — one thing to practice before next Sunday. Not a seven-day program. Just one step you can actually take. ## Your active Sermon Week stays together Your Anchor line, the step you chose, and your reflections from the week stay together in one quiet place. Come back on Wednesday and pick up where you left off. That’s the difference between Sermon Week and a notes file you never reopen. The sermon becomes somewhere you return to, not a transcript you archive and forget. ## Not a substitute for worship or your pastor’s care Sermon Week helps you organize and revisit what you heard. It doesn’t replace worship, your pastor, or your church. Sunday morning still belongs to Sunday morning, and if you record, record only with permission.

Record only with permission. 2. **Review the digest.** Read the digest and the key Scripture. Open the passages themselves rather than stopping at the summary. 3. **Note the Anchor line.** Keep the Anchor: the one line you want to stay with you after the rest of the sermon fades. 4. **Choose one faithful step.** Pick one practice for the week ahead. One step you will actually take beats a plan you won’t. 5. **Return mid-week.** When Monday gets loud, open the same Sermon Week and pick up where you left off. ## Questions people ask ### How does Lumin Sermon Week work? Bring in a sermon by YouTube link, podcast, audio file, or recording. Lumin gives you a clear digest, the key Scripture, and an Anchor line to carry into the week. Choose one faithful step, then come back to the same sermon whenever you need it. ### Is Sermon Week the whole product? No. Sermon Week is central to Lumin, but Lumin also includes Ask, Bible Coach, and Pray. Together they make a Bible companion for the days between Sundays. ### Does Sermon Week replace being present at church? No. It helps you organize and revisit what you heard. It doesn’t replace worship, your pastor, or your church. If you record a sermon, record only with permission. ### Can I bring a sermon by YouTube link, podcast, audio file, or recording? Yes. You can add a sermon from a YouTube link, a podcast, an audio file, or a recording you make in the app. ### What is an Anchor line? The Anchor is the one line from the sermon you carry through the week, kept with the digest and its Scripture. It gives you something specific to return to instead of a fading memory of the whole message. ### Can I return mid-week without starting over? Yes. Your Anchor, the step you chose, and your recent reflections stay together, so you can pick up where you left off. ### How is Sermon Week different from sermon notes or transcription apps? Transcription and note apps capture every word. Sermon Week helps you live one thing from the sermon you heard: a short digest, the Scripture it drew on, and one line to carry through the week.
