    Let's Talk About AI
    Jun 28 2025
    Artificial Intelligence is all the rage and with such a powerful tool come strong benefits and risks. In this VLOG we take a closer look at AI and seek to dispel some of the mysteries that surround it. We also make application with another AI found in the Bible, in the book of Joshua, and seek to learn the lesson of prayerfulness and dependence on God despite the "superpower status" that AI tools may promise to give us.

  • The House of John Knox

    The House of John Knox
    Jun 3 2025
    We visited the house of John Knox to celebrate something historic. The complete works of John Knox are available for the first time in the audiobook format! Everyone knows the name John Knox, but has anyone actually listened to his sermons? We are giving voice to these great treasures, and they can now be freely heard for the first time since the days of Knox himself. We need a recovery of powerful preaching. In the words of Knox himself, the church is the stomach of the nation. It is where all ailments and diseases begin—spreading throughout the body. Fix the pulpit, and you'll fix the nation.

  • Spring Update 2025

    Spring Update 2025
    Apr 24 2025
    This VLOG takes us through some of the development progress for both software and hardware with The Vault. We are finally able to see what Global Sermons will look like for the end-user. Webcasting is getting a massive architectural overhaul. We're expanding our primary storage. And key improvement has been made to our video-on-demand system. A final word is included on the importance of keeping our focus and remembering the REASON why we go through the trouble of building infrastructure. It is about the payload -- the preached word.

    Mar 7 2025
    Visiting site #2 of The Vault with our Infrastructure Operations Manager somewhere in the colder climbs of the USA.

  • What Is Truth?

    What Is Truth?
    Jan 20 2025
    We're living in a world that is sinking in disinformation, deepfakes, and outright deception. We cannot tell what is true and what is artificial anymore. In the midst of this sea of lies, it seems that more than ever there is a desire to find that which is true. In an interview, Elon Musk said: "I care a lot about the truth of things and trying to understand the truth of things. I think that's important. If you're going to come up with some solution, then the truth is really, really important." People today are asking the same question that a Roman governor once asked over 2,000 years ago, "What is truth?" Jesus Christ declared in John 14:6, "I AM THE WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, no man cometh unto the Father but by me." We have re-launched our Gospel of John Project for 2025 in partnership with the Trinitarian Bible Society and are seeking to reach 12 cities in 12 months. Each month we will mail out an attractive Gospel of John booklet to at least 10,000 homes -- until we reach 120,000 homes by the end of the year.

  • Walking on Water

    Walking on Water
    Dec 26 2024
    As we close out 2024, we reflect on a big year of advances and changes. In many ways, it feels as though we've been walking on water for the past 24 years, endeavoring to keep our eyes on the Lord. What we are doing, humanly speaking, is impossible for a company of our size. Yet, as we continue to move forward and walk on the waters of impossibility, my prayer is that we will not, like Peter, be overtaken by the fear of unbelief, or should I say, disbelief that we could or even should have as our goal something as audacious as "every sermon in every language." If we're serious about this objective, it will require of us to get out of our comfort zone, get out of the boat, and take the necessary steps of faith to be where the Lord is in His mission throughout the world.

  • Build-A-Vault

    Build-A-Vault
    Nov 16 2024
    Build-A-Vault is a fun little side project that we've been working on that allows you to purchase and build a miniature replica of The Vault using real LEGO pieces. All proceeds support the Durand missionary family in Chile. The set was designed by their eldest daughter, Geneva Durand. With only 100 sets available and no current plans for additional production, this is a truly special limited edition. We hope this Build-A-Vault will be a lasting and enjoyable display piece and serve as a reminder to pray for us as we work toward building The Vault in real life. More than just a source of fun and games, The Vault represents our serious commitment to building our own private infrastructure to preserve and propagate sound preaching for posterity.

  • The Vault Network

    The Vault Network
    Oct 21 2024
    In the world of computers, it is never a good situation to have a single point of failure, or a single copy of data. Having three of something—often referred to as "N+2 redundancy"—especially in different geographic locations, is considered ideal for truly redundant and highly reliable systems. However, the Bible talks a lot about the "four corners of the world" and it has long been our desire to reach those four corners, both figuratively and physically, with the preaching of the Gospel. By establishing a Vault Network across four geographic locations worldwide, we will achieve the strongest fault tolerance by maintaining multiple full copies of the entire sermon library with distributed load. It is the ultimate protection measure that will ensure the long survival of this treasure far into the future. **The Vault Site:** https://www.sermonaudio.com/vault
