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 with SDI), 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
Studio AI brings AI-powered content repurposing to every Resi customer — including the entry-level Social Only plan. It automatically generates highlight clips ready for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok, produces editable and downloadable transcripts with speaker tracking, and publishes clips directly to Instagram without leaving the platform. Every video is indexed 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 serves organizations across faith, education, government, athletics, conferences, weddings, funerals, and live entertainment.^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
"Resi has been a behind-the-scenes partner in my ministry since COVID, and has been a faithful friend to help our church send our message around the world. It's not flashy, but it works and it is reliable. I can't ask for more than that!" — Andy H., Associate Pastor of Worship^6
"Partnering with Resi has made all the difference in the world for us… we've served tens of thousands of customers virtually and couldn't have done it without the team at Resi." — Tim Schurrer, Former COO, Storybrand^1
