Your church's Sunday stream shouldn't be a source of stress — but for too many tech teams, unreliable internet, buffering wheels, and dropped frames turn what should be a worship experience into a weekly fire drill. Resi exists to make that anxiety disappear, giving churches an all-in-one livestreaming platform that guarantees every moment reaches every viewer, every time.^1
At the heart of Resi is something no other streaming provider offers: the patented Resilient Streaming Protocol (RSP). Unlike standard RTMP streaming, where any internet hiccup means glitches for viewers, RSP uses a local cache on the encoder to check and re-send video data until it's verified as perfect in the cloud — even through complete temporary internet outages. The result is 100% content integrity, no buffering, no dropped frames, period. Purpose-built hardware encoders (including a portable Mini Encoder), ProPresenter integration, "set and forget" scheduling that automates weekly streams, multi-destination streaming to YouTube, Facebook, church apps, and RTMP platforms, plus a full on-demand media hosting platform (Resi On Demand) with branded, ad-free media sites — Resi gives churches everything they need in one place.^2
New in 2025, Studio AI brings AI-powered content repurposing to every Resi customer. It automatically generates highlight clips ready for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok, produces editable transcripts and captions, and indexes every video so viewers can search for specific moments, topics, or speakers without scrubbing through footage. One Sunday sermon becomes a full week of shareable content with minimal team effort.^3
Originally founded in 2016 as Living As One by a team that was tired of their own church experiencing stream failures every Sunday, Resi was born out of frustration turned innovation. CEO Paul Martel and the team tried every streaming solution on the market, and when none delivered, they built their own. The company rebranded to Resi in August 2020 — short for "Resilient" — and was acquired by Pushpay in 2021, becoming part of a unified church technology ecosystem alongside digital giving and church management tools. Now celebrating a decade of streaming, Resi has also expanded to serve education, government, athletics, corporate events, conferences, and more.^4
Why Churches Love Resi:
"Our internet went down for 16 minutes today, but thanks to you guys, once it was back up it literally picked up as if nothing happened. Our executive pastors looked at us and said, 'Oh, wow. That's why you wanted Resi!'" — Chad Vegas, Tech Director, Transformation Church^1
"We had Vimeo copyright strike us twice for short clips from movies we used as illustrations in a couple messages. We almost lost all of our active and archived video for the church." — Paul Mitchell, Production Director, Chase Oaks Church^1
"Before using Resi, we used OBS, then Castr, both of which streamed directly to the internet with no delay. With these services, any interruption to the internet will lead to glitches and buffering in the stream... Now that we have Resi integrated in ProPresenter and set up on a schedule, virtually everything is automated and we no longer need a dedicated volunteer to oversee the live stream. As a smaller church, this is huge for us."^6
