When the pilgrims first settled in NOV 1620, half of those that traveled died during that first winter. One year later, in NOV 1621, they celebrated their first Thanksgiving out of gratitude for God’s protection and provision. Today, we continue the tradition of Thanksgiving. I am thankful for God’s protection and provision one more year here at SermonAudio.

Added some nice summary statistics on the bottom of the homepage of SA for you to get a sense of scale. 45k+ speakers, 2.6M+ sermons, 440M total sermon plays with almost 1M new plays per month. Praise God!

Here we go again. Another rack, another day. We are getting this one setup to almost exclusively tackle our growing Vault Storage needs. We're building The Vault for SermonAudio primarily, but we want to begin opening our world-class Vault infrastructure to likeminded ministries and businesses that may need cancel-proof, secure, simple S3 storage.

We are officially beginning the process of transcribing the entire backlog of millions of sermons on SermonAudio, using AI tools for accuracy and our own fleet of local GPUs at The Vault for privacy. For some time now, we’ve been auto-transcribing all newest sermons, but now we’re expanding our efforts to the entire library. This initiative will ultimately allow you to "search-within" sermons, so you can finally search for spoken phrases WITHIN millions of sermons instantly!

Added the Tamil language to our site interface. Tamil is spoken by 80 million people mostly in the areas of India and South Asia.
