The 3 minute hack to get the most out of AI for your ministry
On this episode of The Church Online Podcast, host Kenny Jahng discusses how spending just 3-5 minutes each day on one generative AI prompt can help build skills over time.
Kenny explains why consistency matters more than intensity when trying to gain proficiency. He emphasizes starting small, with just one prompt per day, as a way to tap into the compounding effects of a daily habit.
Kenny shares how easy it is for the 3 minutes to slip away unused on busy days. He encourages listeners to stick to the routine regardless, as it is the habit itself that leads to growth.
This practical episode explores how tiny bits of daily practice with AI tools can gradually strengthen abilities and creativity over the long-term. Kenny focuses on the methodology more than the specifics.
