Preserved words. Recreated narration.
These sermons and radio messages were transcribed from archived texts from the 1980s and 1990s. The narration uses an AI recreation of Pastor Woodworth’s voice, created with ElevenLabs from digitized VHS church-service recordings.
The audio is a recreated reading of the preserved text, rather than an original recording of each sermon.
