  • Please! STOP!

    The words, music and tone of voice are all beautiful, peaceful and prayerful; but in the background you include a constant frantic clicking.

    It creates an emotionally confusing experience of the illusion of peace while at the same time being given underlying constant hits of adrenaline.

    Prayerful it is not….but it could be if only you would stop the frenetic background noise.

    It’s so puzzling why you include it when it’s so ruinous.

  • Opening Male Voice

    Honest question and not a troll: is the effeminate male voice during the opening credits homosexual? As a former samford student I fully realize that they have become more liberal over time, especially in their divinity department and I’m really curious if they’ve joined the bandwagon of woke theology as well? Yes, God is love and yes, we all sin. However, what matters is whether we acknowledge and repent of that sin. Libs (which I hope samford has not become) are deceived into believing t... more

  • Please! STOP!

    What in the world is that super annoying background beeping?!?!? It never stops! It’s a tortuous noise behind the otherwise lovely music, voice & words. PLEASE stop using that terrible background noise! It absolutely ruins this favorite time of prayer.

  • A welcome addition to my evening

    I came looking for something that would give a bit of guidance and structure and perhaps wisdom to my evenings, a compline service that would lead me in prayer at the close of day, and came upon this gem. I had never known or heard of this organization, but I am very pleased to have found them. This is a very calming, straightforward, digestible “devotional” — a shortened church liturgy, really (no Eucharist, but basically everything else) — that walks you through a bit of scripture, a few forms... more
