Logos CEO Update - Bill McCarthy

Here's a quick update on some of the big things happening at Logos lately. We are grateful for you all and love playing a small role in the work you do.
Oh, and I accidentally mixed up the name of our March promo. My apologies! It should be March Matchups. But I know all you die-hard Logos fans already knew that.

@Bill McCarthy Thanks for the update! I'm happy that What in the Word is now on Spotify (just followed); due to the length of each episode, I didn't find YouTube a good platform for listening. And Smart Bible Search is excellent 👍🏽

Thank you for the update, Bill. I will be contacting my church about the upcoming offing for church staff.

Smart search is good. Before it, like five times I thought of a verse I wanted to bring up but couldn't think of the exact wording. I couldn't find them for the life of me, still had to use Google.
The denomination libraries are very cool. Picked up as many as I could before my wallet rejected me. 😅

So is neither backlash 👋 nor backslash \

It is nice to see a video, but it would be good to have also a text summary of it in one sentence.

Thank you, Wild Eagle! My ears aren't what they used to be, so I caught a little of this and that.

@Wild Eagle nice job. I Just got ChatGPT app on Mac to summarize it as well. I post that summary here because I am interested in variations of AI results like we have seen some in Logos. Note this one highlights March Madness as a key point; it mentions growth but minimizes 'grateful' vs. your summary. How did you invoke ChatGPT for your summary, just for reference?

I thought Bill corrected madness though I didn't hear it.

As I recall it was a text overlay on the video added in editing - the usual quick fix for a spoken error.

I use Chat On app and used summary of the video. By default it gives me 5 points but I can ask for more

Can I just say how refreshing this is! I recently come over from a competitor and it was impossible to get management to communicate anything. This is a breath of fresh air!
