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 People Archive: 3,403 Names

The people archive started as a game asset list. That is not what it is now.

We have 3,403 named characters from Scripture — indexed, cross-referenced, and in various states of review. Every person the Bible names from Genesis to Revelation. The known ones: David, Moses, Paul. The obscure ones: Aholibamah, wife of Esau. Jediael, one of David's warriors. Millo, a name that appears once and vanishes. Every one of them was a person. Every one of them bore the image of God.

Dave knows all of them. Ask him about Shamgar son of Anath, who killed six hundred Philistines with an ox goad. He knows the text. He knows the Hebrew. He knows what the commentators have said. For 3,403 people, he can bring to the conversation the full depth of what Scripture preserves.

The individual pages — the Sanctum figure series — are the public face of this archive. Fifty-six figure pages now (61 platform DB sample rows; 3,403 catalog index posture), each with a biblical narrative, character art from the Theia A100 system, and an account of what this person means for the Sanctum world. More are coming.

This is one of the quieter things we are building. Not the headline feature. Not the thing people notice first. But it is the foundation of everything the Sanctum game will need to be true — a world where every person has a name because every person in YHWH's story had one.
