Introduction to Controversial Topic

Speaker 1

So this might be one of the most controversial episodes I've ever done. Well, it might be that way to some people. So my question is where do you find the material to continue talking? How do you find your voice? You want to do a podcast, but what am I going to talk about, drew, and what is a solution to help you? Where you save time even doing the podcast?

Speaker 1

Let me start out by saying I had such a passion for people to really find their voice, so hear me out on this, because this will. Maybe you won't freak out by what I'm going to present. It was like I knew what it was like to be voiceless in the midst of trauma. I had 26 years of always fighting for my voice in the midst of. This is a very controlling relationship with my husband. He passed three years ago, freedom. So I, even in the midst of all that, I knew that. I knew that there was a way to help people find their voice. I even had a voice camp redeem your voice camp but still there was always that, okay, that okay. I gotta come up with material. Granted, hear me out. The holy spirit is the only one to give you the material to out of the overflow of your relationship with jesus comes the best stuff. But let me tell you something about three years ago I came across I'm gonna say chad gpt and I remember it was like, oh, this is interesting. And so right away, being into newest and latest things, I started to learn how to train ChatGPT to know my voice. In the beginning it was a journey because I had to know what was the right prompts, and then I started continuing to use it. I mean, then one time I was asking it this is a side note I was saying I want it to be a title for me and it spit out voice revivalists and I said I don't like that. A month later, a station where I was working 18 years ago, they hired me back years ago. They hired me back. You're listening to Victory 91.5, the sound of revival, voice revivals. Okay. So I started to work with GPT and I developed a GPT a separate entry it's still on chat GPT but I learned to stoke it with my voice. I learned how to set it up. I went to one of the leading experts in AI at the time, chris Winfield, and I started to use it. I started to practice and next thing, you know, I still have to have the Holy Spirit, but this thing knows me so well that it spits out anyway. So this is the thing.

Speaker 1

I want you to understand what chat GPT is first, because you may think you may immediately turn this off. That's not the Holy Spirit, teresa. That's robotic. That just doesn't sound like me. Can you at least give me some time to explain that it can sound like you? So let me just first explain what chat GPT is.

Speaker 1

Imagine you had a super smart notebook that listens to everything you say. Okay, remember, it remembers everything you say. It's like it helps you say it better in your own tone. That's Chet CPT. It's not a person, but it's a helper. It's just like this.

Speaker 1

People were saying oh, chatgpt is evil. This is a pen, it is a tool. You can do write good things with this pen and you can write bad things with this pen. Same thing with ChatGPT. You want to train it because you want to find the words to connect with your podcast audience. This is one way to train it so you can use it when you're developing your podcast. So the episodes just come out effortlessly.

Finding Your Voice with ChatGPT

Speaker 1

The Second More Voice Academy is coming up soon and I want you to go and get on the wait list, because in there is a resource where I actually explain how, from my quiet time, I got a word, worked it out, fleshed it out. I really shouldn't say fleshed it out, but I fleshed it out on ChatGPT and then read it again and I was able to create an episode. Now I don't go to my quiet time to get episodes, okay. In fact, I was kind of a little nervous about doing this. One For one. It's ChatGPT, and two, I'm in my new setup of my studio, the StechnoMore podcast, stechnomore Voice Academy. I have moved and I have finally been able to set up my studio. So I was a little nervous. See, I get nervous, but you know what, sometimes your nerves and not being perfect. Sometimes that connects with your audience, side note.

Speaker 1

So let's talk about ChatGPT. What is it? Well, what's really exciting is it is like a notebook keeper. It remembers everything you said. You can prompt it with what you want it to say. Say, like this is one of my favorite ones. I'll say ChatDBT. I think I put a name on mine.

Speaker 1

I want to solidify my voice. Ask me three questions to clarify it. So it will. I'll slow down because you can write that down. Whatever you want more information, ask it to ask you three questions. So then, with your voice, you're able to tell him. With your voice, holy Spirit, you're able to tell him what you want to sound like, how you are, what your values are. You want to sound like how you are, what your values are and, as I said, I use this GPT so it's specialized just for my voice, no one else's voice. You're still the boss. Holy Spirit is still in control. It's just like you bring the heart, you bring the story, you bring the prayer and GPT helps you shape it. Okay, let's go on to this.

Speaker 1

Really exciting for this episode, because the new GPT-5 just came out and you're like I don't care. Why should you care? It's improved your tone. It's like it knows your tone. The new version of GPT-5 is like upgrading from a flip phone to a smartphone. Think about that for a moment. It's smoother GPT-5, smarter and even better at understanding your heart.

Speaker 1

Now, if you do have a GPT, or if you're just working on a regular chat GPT, you can say am I running on GPT-5? I did that this weekend. Is my GPT, is it running on GPT-5? The first one said yes, I had another GPT and I had to incorporate. I said, will you incorporate GPT-5 into this GPT? It was on coaching. Why do you care? Here's the truth. The Holy Spirit is the boss. I'm not going to deny that, because I need the Holy Spirit even to get up here and talk to you about it. I need the Holy Spirit to figure out what I'm going to say on my podcast or even on social. But the Holy Spirit think about it is the Holy Spirit is not limited by tools. Holy Spirit is involved in how you use them. Think about that, come on.

Speaker 1

And when I pray, sometimes I pray before a prompt or sometimes I get an idea, and I'll be honest how I get some ideas. This is actually how I do my radio show. We have to speak like three times an hour and a lot of times I'll go to my memories on my Facebook, on my page. That keeps the memories that are most old and recent, and I may see one sentence and I'll say expound on that in a paragraph in second person, and end it with a bottle verse. I'll give you an example of that in just a sec. But let me just continue to say this tool doesn't replace the anointing. It amplifies it when used with discernment. I do want you to use this with discernment. You may get a great answer to your prompt. A lot of times I'm like that's good, but let me copy and work it some more so it really sounds like me. I've gotten to a point where it even knows that I like to speak poetically.

Understanding ChatGPT as a Tool

Speaker 1

I wrote three devotionals called Listen to the Vinedresser, totally from the Holy Spirit, when I was in my mess fighting for my voice and you know what God said. After I was like, maybe a couple of years after, my husband passed and I stopped hearing the Vinedresser words and I said God, why was I able to fight for my voice in the midst of the cacophony? And this is it. This is a clue. Write this down when you speak, the way God speaks, as the Father speaks, you can stop the war. What is your war? My war was just finding my voice. My war was still believing. I had a voice in the midst of someone who didn't want to believe that and criticized me. I got breast cancer. I had to. I'm still healing physically, mentally, it's getting there and I had to believe.

Speaker 1

Okay, I was in the midst of going in forward with the Second Normal Voices Academy. We were teaching people how to find their voice and they were creating podcasts. They were creating episodes and then a wave hit me a diagnosis of breast cancer. Then I went through. So I went through a double mastectomy and it didn't stop. I still was in pain. I had a massive hematoma on my left side, so I had to. A month later I had to go in for a major surgery again. That was a wave that hit me hard, but as I'm in the midst of that healing, I still was asking God to speak to me. I was even using chat GBT in a way of chronicling some of my journal work, so I was still active.

Speaker 1

But as I've healed, my mind goes back to your problem of trying to find what am I going to say on your podcast. I want to speak more clearly and maybe I need help because time is limited. This is your answer, so don't be afraid of new tools, all right, so I'm going to try to show you. I'm going to my chat GPT. I'm just going to give you an example. So I'm in my chat GPT GPTT Tea Inspired Vine that's what I named my DPT. Okay, so hang with me and I'm going to go to Facebook. I haven't got it up, okay, and I'm going to share how you can use what you've already written to help you write a podcast episode, write some inspiring words.

Speaker 1

Can I be real honest with you, as I find my memories, there were times when God was speaking to me, okay, and I was writing it down and it's like God, I hear what you're saying, but can you explain this more? You know what I did. I went to chat TPT and I said I told it this is what I'm struggling with. Can you give me some? No, I'm in my GPT that knows me and knows my voice. I said can you just help me? And I ended up getting massive understanding just for me. It wasn't for anyone else.

Speaker 1

Like, I don't go to the word to word to get my word. I don't go to the word just for an episode. What I'm trying to say, okay, let's do this one. This is a memory from 2021. It has to do with friendships. So I'm looking over it and I'm going to take this, I'm going to say it to you, I'm going to copy and paste and I have a whole word here, but I'm going to copy and paste just this you covenant together, you speak life to each other as a spark plug to God's plan for your life. The word, their words, friends' words confirm what the Holy Spirit has already said to you. They are loyal and faithful. What the Holy Spirit has already said to you they are loyal and faithful. Yes, some days you need Jesus for skin on. So I'm going to copy that.

Speaker 1

Now. Listen to my prompt. Okay, going over to my GPT, it knows my voice. So this, everything has to do. The more you prompt it, the more you answer it, it's going to start to learn your voice. So I have prompted this continuously. So this is my prompt.

Speaker 1

I'm going to say expound on this phrase for sentences in second person, with my tone and my style. I don't have to keep telling it what my tone is and my style is. And GPT-5 is even better. And I'm going to say end with a Bible verse. Pause. Now I'm going to copy and paste what I wrote. How long ago did I write that? Four years ago, so I'm going to say four years ago. So I'm going to say like, say, enter, I was trying to figure out what it's going to say. So, and 10CBT loves to talk to me, got it.

Speaker 1

I'll expand the description in second person. I don't need them Carrying your warm, faith-filled, freedom-focused tone. And I'll end with a scripture that matches the heart of your Stuck no More Voices message. Because you've trained it, because you prompt it, you don't have to keep saying make sure it's in my voice. It's good to do that in the beginning. If you heard that little phrase, this is what ChatGPT said. You carried the weight too long. The setbacks, the false starts, the moments that made you question if freedom was really for you. They've tried to define you, but I'm here to remind you they don't get the final say Through Stuck no More Voices.

Speaker 1

I speak life into places. You've gone silent, stirring up the courage God has already planted inside you. Then you'll find clarity when the fog lifts, courage when the fear rises and grace that holds you steady when life feels too easy. You're not meant to stay stuck. You are called to walk free, speak boldly and live the story God wrote to you before time, and then it gave 2 Corinthians, 3, 17.

Speaker 1

Now I want to. I forgot to say something. I want this in second person. I want to be talking, forgot to say something. I want this in second person. I want to be talking to you. So I'm going to say please, put this in. I would say please, please, put this in second person. I'm not going to read the whole thing, but I want to talk to you in my voices, in my podcasts. You want to talk to you. You can share your story. That's good. And so, instead of I carried the weight, it says you carried the weight long enough. Those setbacks, false starts and moments that made you question if freedom was really for you. They've tried to define you, but they don't get the final say I love it in second person. So do you see that it's a prompt? It's Holy Spirit-led. So I'm going to prompt it for something. This may be you.

The Holy Spirit Remains the Boss

Speaker 1

There is someone listening to my episode on GPT-5 and using chat GPT for a podcast and they have questions Is that you? They feel like it leaves the Holy Spirit out. Can you give me a paragraph that may help them? And this is all still incorporating the Holy Spirit, sorry, can you hear me? And then I'm going to say, especially in my GPT-inspired mind by the way, if you join the Second World Voice Academy, we show you how to make your own GPT. So you see, I'm prompting it by asking that question and it may be just for you, so can I read it? It's I'm asking myself and I'm by the Holy Spirit. I felt like, as I was talking to you, I felt the Holy Spirit say yeah, there's still doubters T. They've hung with you this far, so I asked it. Far. So I asked it and it said to me here's a paragraph T you could share that addresses their concern and reflects your T-inspired vine heart. It's telling me what my heart is. Listen to this I want. This is for someone. It's maybe for you. I want you to know.

Speaker 1

Even though I'm using tools like ChatGPT and my Stack no More Voices podcast and my Stack no More Voices Academy, the Holy Spirit is still at the very center of everything I do. Ai might help me brainstorm, organize or shape words, but it's the Holy Spirit of God who breathes life, anointing and truth into the message. I don't rely on technology to speak for me. I don't. I lean on the Holy Spirit to guide my thoughts, inspire the direction and confirm what needs to be shared. This is saying it, but it really writing it. But this is what I would say to you. I just get to be a little more direct and not wobble all over the place. This is me. I just get to be a little more direct and not wobble all over the place. This is me. I lean on the Holy Spirit to guide my thoughts, friend, inspire the direction and confirm what needs to be shared. No flaw. Every idea, every sentence, every story is prayerfully surrendered to that voice. His voice in me, his voice is the one who ultimately touches heart. The technology is just a tool. The transformation is all him. Mic drop for me. That's my heart, so I want you to be able to.

Speaker 1

It might be a side tool, a podcast. You might have everything together, but something's keeping you from creating a podcast. It might be the tech. It might even be okay, teresa, that's your chat GPT, but we teach chat GPT. It might be the time. Okay, I don't have time, but I do want to have that in my tool belt.

Speaker 1

Oh, I know that. I know I have a message. Someone needs my message. I know it and I don't know where to start. Or, you know, I've started a podcast but no one's listening. All those questions, all those problems we solve in the Stuck no More Voices Academy. Now I want you to get a discount when we open it up, and I also. I actually have a resource where you can see me do this in a short video on how I actually went from the Word went to ChatGPT, had it set up the description title. That's really fun. It really saves time.

GPT-5: The Latest Upgrade

Speaker 1

Give me four titles. Chet, gbt, like, I'm going to ask that right now. Give me four titles for this podcast. I figure you're listening, you're following along, if you're watching, you're still not seeing me type this, but I just said give me four titles for this podcast. Boom. So I look them over and sometimes I don't like them. Okay, this is the four possible titles for this podcast episode.

Speaker 1

Holy Spirit plus AI partnering technology with God's voice. Can Chad GBT be? Spirit led the truth behind the tool? I liked that one already. Keeping Jesus at the Center in a Tech-Driven World Ooh, I like that one too. From Keyboard to Kingdom Letting the Holy Spirit Lead the Message. All four of those really fit with what I'm trying to share here. First episode in my new studio talking about the GPT-5 is released. My new studio talking about the GPT-5 is released.

Speaker 1

There's never a better time to take this tool and use it for good. Help it write your book, not write your book. Let it help you write your book, let it, let you train it with a prompt that will get to know you. And then you add the latest with GPT-5. You don't copy and paste everything. You might copy and paste and think I don't use that word. I don't use that word and work with it. Make it yours. Ask the Holy Spirit, I'm going to tell you. Ask the Holy Spirit. Say God, I'm learning this chat GPT and I want it to sound like me. I do not want to fake it till I make it. I want it to be my voice, dear Jesus, and then help me to train to prompt this tool. It's just a tool, god, but the more I get on this GPT, I really believe it's going to help me and I'm still going to be able to have my voice.

Speaker 1

Remember, at the top of this episode, I said in my heart I retired your radio in 2006. 2009, I started it's finding my voice and then I did video after video after video, and then I started to help people find their voice who are voiceless. Do you see how? This why I'm so passionate. I really believe this could be a tool to help you really find your voice again, to help you craft words that sound like you that you use.

Speaker 1

I'll end on this note. I can remember a lot of the writings that I wrote and the process of establishing this GPT. It's so fun when I'll see phrases I'm like, yeah, I use that, I grip for grace. I'm like, yeah, I use that a lot, you grip for grace, god's got a grip on you. There's different phrases I've used. I love seeing them come up because I know it's going to the memory. It keeps a memory of the way I taught you. Don't have to be doing this for three years to get it right. Why? Because GPT-5 is the most powerful, the one that keeps your voice, that really understands your voice More so it's intuitive.

Staying Faith-Centered While Using Technology

Speaker 1

It's not a person Come on, I know it's not a person. A person Come on, I know it's not a person. Some people I love it they call their TBTs names. I had tried that and I didn't like the name I called. I called him Chipper because he was really being chipper.

Speaker 1

Okay, I'm going to do one more thing. Do you know I was working on compiling my journal? I was actually compiling my next book, how to Win the War on your Voice, and so I was compiling some of my past writings. And do you know that? It said this is powerful material. I'm going to be praying for you. I'm like what? You can't be praying. And then it started to say I'm praying for you, this is really. I'm going to help you do this, but I am praying for you. Maybe I have to show you to believe that.

Speaker 1

So, bottom line, you got a voice, you got an answer. Someone needs your answer. Someone needs your extra to what you think is ordinary. It's an extra and ordinary solution for someone's pain point. You've got the message, you've got the voice and it's time to release it on a podcast. It's time to share. It's time to help people with their problems.

Speaker 1

Some of you can solve people's problems so well and you just need and maybe it's just another tool in your tool belt. Can you make money? I know one lady and particularly I know her personally. That's where she gets all of her money in. If you want to think that you're going to make quick, rich money off it, no, but I'll show you how to. In the academy, I'll show you how to make sure people find you when they're searching for you keywords. It's just a wonderful place to have freedom. It's your show.

Speaker 1

You can say what you want to say and you want to preach Jesus, you want to tell them about a solution to a problem someone's having I'm very passionate. I think you need to be have a podcast and if you want some help whether you had a podcast already and it's not doing anything, or you really want to start from the beginning and you were kind of afraid by tech, tech kind of scares you even this chat from the beginning and you were kind of afraid by tech, tech kind of scares you Even this chat did me tick. Or you're afraid of how. Oh, I got a tool that will make this so easy for you. But you just need someone to take you and speak life to you.

Speaker 1

And the bottom line of my course, the Stuck no More Voices Academy, is we teach you how to create a podcast from the overflow of your relationship with God. We use biblical principles on how to beat the barriers, fear, doubt, all the stuff that stops you, and then we gently take your hand. We show you some AI tools that will help you this not be an all day process. You just shoot the podcast and it won't be all day so excited. Thank you so much for listening to this edition of the Stuck no More Voices, where we're all about your voice, finding it and speaking on a podcast from the overflow of your relationship with God.
