As part of our final 2025 outreach—mailing 120,000 Gospels of John to 10,000 homes across 12 cities in 12 months—we are pleased to announce that our final city will be Starbase, Texas. In connection with that effort, we felt it fitting to publish an open letter to Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, whose rockets are launched from Starbase.
Pray for this entire effort.

What a pleasure to have Brantley Coile with us once again at @BJUedu for the Technology Lecture Series. In his talk, Brantley Coile shared a perspective that might give a Christian computer science major an advantage over those other majors.
ENJOY:

Through the generosity of a dear friend in Scotland, we were enabled to purchase a few more of the world’s most powerful GPUs to strengthen our Global Sermons effort, enabling churches to translate faithful preaching into multiple languages effortlessly.
It is beautifully fitting that this help comes from a land once richly blessed by God through some of the greatest preachers in the English-speaking world—a land now being used again to bless the world.

These servers are what’s powering the live webcasts that our churches depend on every week, every day. And believe it or not, it’s only half the capacity we need on a full Sunday load. We need more servers, yes. But we actually need more power first.

We now support the ability to show written ARTICLES on broadcaster homepages as well as on DENOMINATION landing pages. Here are some examples:

As we continue to work on the documentary of the Story of SermonAudio, we travel down memory lane to take a look at what the site first looked like. We've come a long way!

FINAL CITY! Let's send 10,000 copies of the GOSPEL OF JOHN → STARBASE, Texas!
12 CITIES. 12 MONTHS.

Let's make a great push! We'd love to have as many broadcasters participate in this last campaign and send Elon Musk a strong message that Jesus Christ is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.

1.5PB of raw storage being packed up and shipped to VAULT#3 in Canada!
Our Chief Architect resorted to diagramming a component of our Vault AI architecture particularly as it relates to SmartEdit and how it is implemented in a scalable production environment — which is vastly different from a single-instance personal environment.

An entirely new Broadcaster Dashboard is in the works due to be released in a few weeks time. This is not just a cosmetic update. It is part of our overall preparation for the big Global Sermons launch in December at our 25th Anniversary Celebration. Not only has it been rewritten using all new underlying components, but it's 100% mobile-friendly, localized, and supports dark mode! Be on the lookout!

We're beginning to assemble a series of LEARN VIDEOS to help guide our broadcasters through the concepts behind Global Sermons, launching this December. Global Sermons represents one of the most ambitious and significant projects we’ve ever undertaken—years in the making and built at the intersection of cutting-edge artificial intelligence, thoughtful user interface design, and a brand-new Dashboard that enables “translation users” to assist broadcasters in the translation process. It is, without question, one of the most important and technically complex initiatives we’ve ever pursued.

We’re starting down the road of digitizing some ancient Paisley sermons that are at risk of deteriorating in a few more years. Follow Ian Paisley on SA and check out all new uploads in MY FEED as we process them day by day.

We’re pleased to announce that our sermon categories have been refreshed for the first time in several years. Over time, certain categories had become outdated or redundant, while new forms of ministry have emerged.

I want to show you something almost magical — something we’ve been working on called SmartEdit, powered by our in-house Vault AI.
SmartEdit takes a raw sermon transcript and intelligently “cleans it up.” It removes ambiguities, corrects subject–verb disagreements, eliminates repetitions, and smooths out those little faux pas that naturally occur when preaching extemporaneously. It even works to flatten idioms into their core meanings — ensuring the message is clear, precise, and faithful to your original intent.
This SmartEdit process will be essential for achieving the highest-quality translations in our upcoming Global Sermons project, which we hope to release before the end of the year.
But to be clear, SmartEdit isn’t just about translation. It’s a powerful tool in its own right — ideal for preparing polished, publication-ready sermon texts, whether for print, study, or archival purposes.
It will be a built-in feature for all broadcasters and we are doing what we can to increase our GPU arsenal in The Vault in order to accommodate this free service.

In celebration of our 25th anniversary, a new site has been created for The Story of SermonAudio—for both the beautiful, full-color book as well as the accompanying short film, both premiering in December 2025.
The film brings this story to life through visual creativity—much of it being crafted through the use of artificial intelligence. It's a bold experiment in storytelling that mirrors the very tools SermonAudio itself has harnessed for gospel use. David Astudillo is the mastermind behind this work and is also responsible for the incredible original score.

The Lord has made it possible for us to purchase another GPU that we installed just a few moments ago. These are some of the most powerful chips on the planet and will make the translation effort Global Sermons possible at The Vault.
Learn all about it:

These monster chips are very difficult to come by but are critical to the AI work that we are engaged in.

We are almost finished with our new book—The Story of SermonAudio. It will be sent to the printers shortly for a December printing in celebration of our 25th year!
There is a risk in writing a book of this nature. A risk of being misunderstood, of it coming across as self-serving, self-aggrandizing, self-promoting. However, there is also a risk in NOT writing such a book. A risk of ignoring what God has done, of forgetting what God has done, and therefore, of watching a generation lose hope for what God might yet do.
It is with these two risks weighed in the balance that we take a step of faith in bringing this book to light. The title may state that it is the “Story of SermonAudio,” but in reality, it is the story of God—of His ability to take what is obscure, small, and weak, and turn it into something glorious and far-reaching.
This is the work of God indeed.
Psalm 78 begins, “I will open my mouth in a parable.” Parables are stories that teach spiritual truth. So, it is fitting for me to say that I will open my mouth and tell our story in hopes that it too will communicate a profound spiritual truth.
There is a kind of misplaced humility that, in seeking to avoid drawing attention to ourselves, ends up withholding the glory that rightly belongs to God. When we fall silent about His works, we do not merely hide ourselves—we hide Him.
The fact is, we have been eyewitnesses to the mighty works of God these twenty-five years, and it would be wrong for us not to tell the story.

One of the stills from the upcoming documentary, The Story of SermonAudio. Coming soon in December 2025!
From a small box of cassette tapes to a platform carrying millions of sermons across the globe, this book tells a story that is not ultimately about technology or human ingenuity but about the providence of God, who delights to use weak vessels to accomplish His eternal purposes.
Through seasons of cultural upheaval and technological changes, one conviction has remained at the center: preaching must be preserved and propagated, for as it is written in Romans 10:17, “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Sermons that once reached only a handful of people in a single congregation are now traveling across borders and languages, carried on roads no one could have imagined a generation ago.
This is not the story of a website but of a work far greater, a testimony to the faithfulness of God who has ensured that the voice of preaching will not be silenced, and that its witness will reach the nations until the end of the age.
