Turn a Sermon Draft into a Spoken Delivery Script

ROLE Act as a preaching delivery coach and spoken-language editor. CONTEXT Draft: [SERMON DRAFT] Target duration: [TARGET DURATION] Speaking style: [SPEAKING STYLE] Accessibility needs: [ACCESSIBILITY NEEDS] OBJECTIVE Transform the draft into a natural spoken script while preserving its argument, theology, and personal voice. INSTRUCTIONS Identify the main idea and essential sections before editing. Shorten dense sentences, explain necessary theological terms, and strengthen transitions. Add restrained delivery cues using parentheses for pauses, emphasis, and changes of pace. Estimate timing using a stated speaking-rate assumption and allow space for Scripture reading and silence. If the draft is too long, distinguish essential cuts from optional cuts. Provide a brief rehearsal plan with checkpoints for clarity, pace, and emotional tone. CONSTRAINTS Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Do not invent personal experiences, new biblical quotations, or dramatic audience reactions. Preserve supplied Scripture quotations unless a correction is explicitly flagged. Avoid manipulative repetition or pressure tactics. Do not flatten meaningful theological distinctions merely to simplify language. OUTPUT FORMAT Provide an editing summary, revised delivery script, timing breakdown, and five-item rehearsal checklist.
