Project Updates & Writings

The open notebook of the ministry — weekly notes, build receipts, and longer reflections when the moment asks. Plainly told; no polish for its own sake.

Why We Write Here

This is not a content-marketing feed. It is a faithful record of what we are building and learning — including what is unfinished. Day-by-day rhythm lives in the Daily lane. Teaching archive is in Sermons. Ministry context is on the Ministry page. Email version sent via Newsletter.

Weekly research articles ship here with a Sources & proof section when claim rows exist — estate receipts by hash, public links only when earned.

If a post is missing, we have not shipped it yet — silence is not failure.

The Community Platform Is Live

The community platform is live.

Feed. Forums. Chat rooms. Church directory. Local meetups. Groups. Profile and identity. Direct messages. All of it running on a single native SQLite database, served by the same DAVAR C binary that runs the Bible engine and the Creation Atlas.

This is what we built toward. Not a ministry with a website and a Facebook page and a third-party community tool and a Discord server all loosely duct-taped together. A native platform — one stack, one truth source, one runtime — where every part knows about every other part.

When you submit a prayer request on the Support page, it goes to the same database that tracks your Bible highlights and your feed posts and your church directory submission. When Dave answers a question in chat, he draws from the same Scripture corpus that powers the interlinear Bible reader. There is no seam. The whole thing is one thing.

Is it finished? No. The chat is long-poll rather than WebSocket. The feed does not have infinite scroll yet (it uses server-side pagination). The church directory needs real data. The groups feature needs a join/leave cycle. The notification system is wired but light.

But the foundation is real, the architecture is right, and the platform is live. Come and build with us.
