A Permanent Home for
Every Message
You’ve Preached

PulpitSmith is Author Vault’s dedicated platform for pastors, preachers, evangelists, Bible teachers, and ministry leaders of every tradition. It’s where your sermons, devotionals, prayers, and teachings live safely and are shared faithfully — reaching far beyond the four walls of your church.

No more sermons lost in a filing cabinet. No more teachings that only your Sunday morning congregation ever hears. PulpitSmith gives your ministry a permanent, beautifully presented, and shareable home — with your name on every page, your content protected from AI training, and your voice preserved forever.

A lifetime of preaching is a lifetime of wisdom. Every sermon you’ve delivered deserves to be preserved, shared, and heard — long after it was first spoken.

— The PulpitSmith Philosophy

Tools Built for
Ministry, Not Technology

PulpitSmith removes every technical barrier between your message and your congregation — so you focus on the ministry, not the platform.

Core Feature
Modular Publishing Editor

The unified editor at /create/ lets you build each sermon or devotional your way — add a content type, scripture reference, rich text, audio file, cover image, and series. Only the tools your content needs.

Upload Sermon Audio

Attach sermon recordings — MP3, WAV, AAC, or FLAC — directly to each post. Your congregation can listen to every message on any device, at any time. A built-in audio player is on every page.

Devotionals & Prayers

Publish daily devotionals, intercessory prayers, and Bible study materials alongside your sermons. Build a rich spiritual library your church community can return to again and again.

Scripture References

Add the Bible passage or verse that anchors each sermon directly to the post. Every published piece shows the scripture reference prominently — making your library searchable by passage.

One-Click Sharing

Share any sermon to Facebook, X, WhatsApp, Gmail, Messenger, and more — both the post and the audio file separately. Reach your congregation and the wider body of Christ directly from your dashboard.

Protected Teaching

Your sermons and teachings are never used to train AI models. 256-bit encryption, triple-redundant backups, and a strict no-AI-training policy. Your ministry content belongs entirely to you — permanently.

Add Only the Tools
Your Message Needs

The unified editor at author-vault.com/create/ replaces the old fixed form. Choose your content type, then add tool blocks in any order — only what fits your piece.

• Content Type — classify as Sermon, Devotional, or Prayer
• Rich Text Editor — full transcript, outline, or notes
• Scripture Reference — Bible passage or verse (e.g. John 3:16)
• Audio File Upload — MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC sermon recordings
• Cover Image — sermon or series cover art
• Series / Collection — group messages into a named teaching series
• Video Link — YouTube or Vimeo sermon video URL

Every Form of
Ministry Content

PulpitSmith supports every type of content a ministry produces — from Sunday sermons to daily devotionals. All three content types from a single unified editor.

Sermons

Full sermon transcripts, outlines, and notes — with optional audio attachment, scripture reference, cover image, series grouping, and direct share tools. Your primary teaching platform, beautifully presented.

Devotionals

Daily or weekly devotionals for your congregation. Short, focused spiritual readings your community can subscribe to, return to, and share with friends and family from their phones.

Prayers

Written prayers, intercessory lists, and liturgical content. Archive your prayer ministry and make it available to your congregation and the wider body of Christ — 24/7 on any device.

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”

Mark 16:15  ·  The Great Commission

If You Lead Ministry,
You Belong Here

Archive every Sunday message and build a permanent sermon library your congregation can access from anywhere — on any device, at any time, long after the service ends.

Bible Teachers

Publish study materials, commentary, and multi-week teaching series. Give your students a resource they can revisit, share, and build on for years to come.

Evangelists

Extend your reach beyond each crusade or outreach event. Every published message continues to work long after the altar call is over — reaching new audiences every day.

Prayer & Devotional Leaders

Build a devotional library for your prayer team, women’s ministry, men’s group, or youth congregation — available 24/7 from their phones without any app to install.

“I’ve been preaching for over twenty years. PulpitSmith is the first platform that treats every sermon as the gift it is — not just a recording that gets lost after Sunday, or content that feeds an AI.”
