A big change for user comments.
It may not seem like a big change to most, but for the past 25 years, our staff has been moderating user comments for sermons, one comment at a time. Every comment was reviewed internally before it ever appeared publicly.
This is no longer the case.
We have finally introduced a major shift in the way comments are handled—broadcasters themselves will now take on the responsibility of approving (or rejecting) comments submitted on their own sermons.
Read all about it!

The racks have arrived in the UK!
Just in time for our upcoming trip, where we’ll take a small team of 4 to establish a new cluster in our 4th Vault site. It's a big milestone for us and we're grateful that what God has laid on our hearts to do, He has been pleased to bring to fruition.
This deployment will serve as a full storage replica, a load balanced cluster to ease demand on our main Vault HQ, and a critical component for failover redundancy.
We’re grateful to be partnering with Let the Bible Speak of the Free Presbyterian Church in bringing this vision to life. We thank the Lord for their willingness and shared commitment to this work.

The work will never end. My architect and I sat beside The Vault HQ thinking about the future. Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Rom 10:17).

Work continues on the refreshed Roku Television App. It's getting a much-needed update as it hasn't really been overhauled in a few years now. Not only will it feature a visual refresh, but it will support USERS, play history, follows, bookmarks, and just overall work better.

In the will of the Lord, another Vault site will soon be established in the United Kingdom at the LTBS Centre in Ahoghill, Northern Ireland. This will become our 4th Vault site, but this site in particular will play a critical role in the overall Vault Network as the only full replica of our primary Vault HQ on the campus of Bob Jones University in Greenville SC, strengthening geographic redundancy and advancing our long-term goal of true cloud independence.

With all that is going on in IRAN, we believe a window may be opening for the Gospel to finally penetrate into that land of 93 million people. We are beginning the process of translating all the sermons of C. H. Spurgeon into Farsi to add to the already 2,500+ sermons available in the Persian language on SA.
We've also upgraded to v2.1 of ASK THE PURITANS site so that it will play what is currently playing on the 24/7 Puritan Radio as well as working well in any language, including Farsi.
Ask questions in Farsi, get answers in Farsi.
Ask questions in French, get answers in French.
Ask questions in Chinese ... you get the idea.

We are very excited to announce a project we have been quietly working on for several months. We are producing a web series adaptation of John Bunyan’s ‘THE HOLY WAR’.
An AI visual cinematic story of several episodes about the fall and redemption of the city of Mansoul, Bunyan’s famous allegory of God’s work of salvation.
This project is a collaboration between SermonAudio and Perihelion Pictures.
This is only the beginning! Over the coming months we will share updates, phases of the development stages, concept art and behind the scenes as we bring Bunyan’s allegory to the screen.
Stay tuned.
