Final purchase for 2025. Two more A100 GPUs in anticipation of much more Vault AI work coming down the pike that will be, I trust, and real blessing to our broadcasters into 2026.

We are working on what we hope will become the ultimate Scottish tour—all-inclusive, affordable, devotional. This is not a commercial venture for profit. But a way to honor our friends in Scotland, remember the faithful saints, and strengthen the bonds of Christian unity.

Over the years, I have personally come to love and appreciate Scotland for its history, revivals, and godly heritage. If you haven't seen it, I'd encourage you to take a look at a VLOG I did some years ago.

We're taking another step of faith and going way out of our comfort zone to organize what we hope to be the "ultimate tour of Scotland" mixing comfort, convenience, beauty, history, and devotion. Our intention is not to make any profit on this so it will be about as affordable as a luxury tour can possibly be. If you visit Scotland only once in your lifetime, this very well may be the tour for you.

We hope to make our maiden voyage second full week of April. And if there is enough interest, every April thereafter. Still in the works, however.

An evening of thanksgiving.

When the idea first came to light of having a special celebration of our 25th year, there was some debate as to whether it would seem too self-aggrandizing or at least be taken as such. Then upon further reflection, we decided that to not have such an occasion would be to miss a providential opportunity to give thanks to God above all for what He alone has sustained, preserved, and multiplied over these twenty-five years.

We were delighted to host this dinner in the beautiful Davis Room on the campus of Bob Jones University, where we are actually headquartered. The President of the University was kind to give the 200 guests a warm greeting.

It was a spectacular spectrum of ministries represented under one roof that evening: The MLJ Trust, The Crown College, Masters Seminary, Greenville Seminary, Bob Jones University, Answers in Genesis, Ligonier Ministries, Second PCA, IFCA, and the list goes on.

Immensely grateful for the opportunity to address the entire student body of Bob Jones University about the Story of SermonAudio — which is really the story of God's power. What's the answer to a waterlogged life that's full of distractions and cares? Revival.

Tomorrow morning, I’ll have the wonderful opportunity of sharing a little of the Story of SermonAudio with the entire student body of BJU during Chapel. We’ll watch the trailer, and then make some comments to encourage them on their walk with God.

Please pray for me.

A few days to go!

Much of the 22min documentary was done with AI tools. It's a bold experiment in storytelling that mirrors the kind of AI tools SA is using for Global Sermons. But it was also out of necessity. 3 months from start to finish. No budget. No big production crews. Just a story.

SermonAudio is a platform for preaching, whether it be audio or video. But increasingly, the transcript of a sermon is becoming increasingly important. There are a number of reasons why that is. People have always enjoyed having a printed version of a sermon to read, but it is also vital for searching and translation. So, we’ve now built the tools that take transcripts from “nice to have” to truly indispensable.

It's been a pure pleasure working with David Astudillo on this unique project. We only had 3 months to go from concept to cutting floor for the film. And he not only produced a visually stunning documentary telling the Story of SermonAudio using the newest AI video generation models available, but he also composed the beautiful original soundtrack that you can enjoy in its entirety on our story website!

We had something of a mini-breakthrough recently with Global Sermons. We want to tell you all about it one day, but the bottom line is that without presuming too much, I believe we may have "cracked the code" on how to achieve very good translations ... from any language to any language. In this industry, it's far too easy to over-promise and under-deliver, so we want to be careful. But at the same time, it's hard NOT to be excited. I believe God is helping us thread the needle in this maze of new tech. May it be so, O Lord.

Will you pray for us? We're almost there.
