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. Combined with purpose-built hardware encoders (including a new 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 media sites — Resi gives churches everything they need in one place.^2
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 for $150 million, becoming part of a unified church technology ecosystem alongside digital giving and church management tools.^3
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
A Lead Pastor shared: "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."^5 Another reviewer noted: "Since partnering with Resi we have not had a single stream failure with our embedded player and by extension any of our social media platforms, none. This through the initial crush of covid streaming and the first Christmas under covid, they were rock solid, always available and supportive."^5
Trusted by 80 of the 100 largest churches in the U.S. — including Life.Church, Elevation Church, NewSpring Church, Saddleback, Hillsong, and Samaritans Purse — with award-winning Sunday customer support and proactive stream monitoring.^2
