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.

    FYI - When Bill says "backslash" he means "slash."

    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. 😅

    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?

    Bill McCarthy from Logos shares updates on recent company initiatives. He thanks users for their engagement and feedback, encouraging continued input. Key announcements include:

    Denominational Libraries: A new content offering with a promotional discount ending February 28.

    New Podcast – What in the Word: Features guest experts discussing complex Bible verses, available on Logos’ website, Spotify, and other platforms.

    Smart Bible Search: A newly launched, highly anticipated feature improving search capabilities.

    March Madness Promotion: A yearly event where users vote on content to unlock discounts.

    Logos4Church: A new subscription model for church staff and leaders, currently in beta with 1,100 churches on the waitlist.

    McCarthy highlights Logos’ strong growth last year and expresses gratitude for the opportunity to support biblical teaching.

    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!
