Comprehensive Analysis
Everything you need to evaluate any sermon
SermonScout gives you a complete toolkit for understanding sermons — from high-level scores to verse-level detail, plus study materials for going deeper on your own.
12-Point Theological Scorecard
Biblical accuracy, gospel centrality, theological depth, verse audit, pastoral heart, kingdom impact — each scored 1–10 with detailed verdicts and real-life explanations.
Verse-by-Verse Audit
Every Bible reference checked in context. Each verse gets a verdict — faithful, stretched, or misapplied — with a clear explanation of why.
Red Flag Detection
15 categories scanned: manipulation tactics (guilt trips, fear-mongering), doctrinal drift (prosperity gospel, legalism), and commercial red flags.
Emotional Temperature
Measures the emotional dynamics across five dimensions — comfort, urgency, guilt, excitement, and challenge — to spot manipulation patterns.
Preacher Profile
Identifies the preacher's theological tradition, strengths, blind spots, and suggests complementary teachers to balance your spiritual diet.
Full Narrative Report
A 3,000–4,000 word educational report with timestamped quotes, discernment lessons, and practical takeaways — like having a seminary professor beside you.
Traffic Light System
Green, yellow, and red lights for quick-glance assessment. Instantly see what's excellent, what to think about, and what to be cautious about.
