How Christian Life Coaches Use Opus Clips for Reels

In today’s digital world, attention is the new currency. People scroll quickly, and you often have only a few seconds to capture their interest. As a Christian Life Coach, you don’t just want likes or views—you want to share messages that point people back to God and invite them into transformation.

That’s why short-form video content—like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikToks—has become one of the most powerful ways to grow your reach. And the good news? You don’t have to spend hours editing videos to show up consistently.

This is where Opus Clips comes in.

In this third post of my 5-Figure Tools for Christian Life Coaches series, I’ll show you how I use Opus Clips to repurpose long-form content into engaging short Reels that reach more people, build trust, and point back to my coaching offers.

(At the bottom of this blog, you’ll find my full YouTube tutorial where I demonstrate Opus Clips in action!)

Why Reels Matter for Christian Life Coaches

For many coaches, video feels intimidating. You may wonder: Do I need fancy equipment? What if I don’t like how I look on camera?

But here’s the truth: people connect with faces and voices more than graphics and text. Seeing you share your heart helps potential clients know, like, and trust you.

Matthew 5:14 says, “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Reels are like putting your message on a digital hilltop. They amplify your reach in a way that static posts simply can’t.

Short-form videos also perfectly align with our busy culture. While people may not watch a 45-minute livestream, they’ll gladly consume a 45-second clip that encourages, teaches, or inspires them.

What Is Opus Clips?

Opus Clips is an AI-powered tool that takes long-form videos—like YouTube recordings, podcasts, or Zoom sessions—and automatically creates short, engaging clips optimized for social platforms.

With just a link, Opus Clips can:

• Detect the best soundbites from your video.

• Add captions automatically.

• Format clips in vertical video style for Reels, Shorts, or TikTok.

• Suggest hooks and highlight key moments.

It’s like having a video editor working in the background—without the cost or long turnaround time.

How Christian Life Coaches Can Use Opus Clips

Here are some practical ways I use Opus Clips in my coaching business:

1. Repurpose YouTube Content into Reels

If I upload a 30-minute teaching on YouTube, I don’t stop there. I run it through Opus Clips and instantly get 10-15 short Reels I can schedule across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube Shorts.

This multiplies my content without multiplying my effort.

2. Create Promotional Snippets from Trainings

Whenever I do a webinar or live workshop, I use Opus Clips to extract key 30 - 120 second moments. These Reels become powerful invitations to my next program or book.

3. Share Client Testimonies

When clients give permission to share their testimonies, I use Opus Clips to capture the most impactful moments. Seeing transformation in others builds credibility and encourages people that change is possible for them, too.

4. Deliver Quick Encouragements

Sometimes, all someone needs is a 30-second clip of biblical encouragement. Opus Clips helps me take longer talks and turn them into bite-sized encouragements that people can carry into their day.

Benefits of Using Opus Clips

• Saves Time: No need to manually cut videos.

• Increases Reach: Short videos get boosted by algorithms.

• Consistency: You can generate a month’s content in a few hours.

• Professional Look: Captions and formatting make videos polished and accessible.

• Multiplication: One piece of content becomes 10 different posts.

It reflects the principle of John 6:12, where Jesus told the disciples to gather the leftover pieces after feeding the 5,000. Nothing was wasted. With Opus Clips, nothing you record has to be wasted—you can reuse and multiply it.

Example Workflow with Opus Clips

Here’s how a weekly workflow might look for a Christian Life Coach:

1. Record a 20–30 minute YouTube video or podcast.

2. Upload the link to Opus Clips.

3. Select the best clips generated.

4. Add branding touches (logo, colors, CTA) if needed.

5. Schedule the clips across social platforms using Metricool (Blog 2 tool!).

In just a few hours, you’ve created content for weeks.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Posting without a strategy: Don’t just share random clips. Tie them to your coaching offers or free resources.

• Overediting: Keep it simple. People want authenticity, not perfection.

• Neglecting captions: Many watch with sound off, so captions are key.

• Not including a CTA: Always invite viewers to take the next step (free guide, book, program).

Biblical Perspective on Multiplication

God has always been a God of multiplication. From the loaves and fishes to the Great Commission, He takes what we have and multiplies it for greater impact.

Opus Clips is a modern expression of this principle. It allows us to multiply our voice and reach people we never could have reached otherwise.

As Proverbs 11:25 reminds us: “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” Sharing short clips of encouragement, teaching, and testimony is a way of generously refreshing others—and God promises to bless that.

Bringing It All Together

Reels and short-form content aren’t about chasing trends—they’re about meeting people where they are. By using Opus Clips, Christian Life Coaches can turn one message into many, showing up consistently, stewarding time wisely, and multiplying their Kingdom impact.

Remember: it’s not about going “viral” for the sake of fame. It’s about spreading light, encouragement, and biblical truth in bite-sized ways that meet people in the middle of their scroll.
