Project Updates & Writings

This is the open notebook of the ministry. I post weekly notes, build receipts, and longer reflections when there is something worth saying.

Why We Write Here

Scripture: Habakkuk 2:2. This is not a marketing feed. It is a record of what I am building and learning, including the parts that are not finished. The day-by-day rhythm lives in the Daily lane, the teaching archive is in Sermons, the wider ministry context is on the Ministry page, and the email version goes out through the Newsletter.

Weekly research articles ship here with a Sources & proof section whenever there are claims to back up. The estate receipts are listed by hash, and public links only appear once they are earned.

If a post you expect is missing, it just means I have not shipped it yet. Hebrew: וַיַּעֲנֵנִי יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר כְּתוֹב חָזוֹן וּבָאֵר עַל־הַלֻּחוֹת לְמַעַן יָרוּץ קוֹרֵא בֽוֹ׃

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.

These updates describe the build itself. If you want the theology behind the work, whether that is creation, DAVAR, or reasoning through Scripture, bring the question to Dave. The How It Works page covers his limits.
