1:30I'm thinking my past or what I've already gone through. Well, I'd love to introduce you to a guy named Saul.
1:39Saul was a guy who had a past that you would have thought, man, this guy is not going to do what God wants him to do.
1:52And really, that guy was named — his name was Saul, and he was somebody that persecuted Christians.

3 Reasons Churches DON'T Use Grail
Grail is currently in an exclusive beta. As churches have tried Grail, here are the top 3 reasons that Grail is not a good fit — and what we're doing to help.
No video Team
If video isn't a central part of your Church then Grail may not be worth the investment.
A Small NAS
If you have less than 10 TB on your NAS, you might be fine using Finder to access your media.
No Mac
If you don't have a Mac, we'll send you one. Click here to see which hardware is right for you.
How Grail Works
Search what you remember
Search by transcripts, metadata, and person recognition to find what you need.
Preview before you download
See what's inside a video or photo before pulling it to your machine. No more downloading the wrong 8GB file.
Access from anywhere
Creative, pastoral, worship, and production staff all sign in with SSO. No VPN. No shared passwords. Control who sees what with user permissions.
Your files stay on your NAS
Nothing moves. Grail installs on a Mac on your network, indexes your NAS locally, and makes it searchable through your browser from anywhere.
Search sermons, B-roll, photos, and documents
Grail indexes everything on your NAS. Video, photos, PDFs, and more. Search from any browser, no VPN required.
Share with every team that needs media
Your whole staff signs in with SSO. No invite emails to chase down. Preview videos and photos from anywhere, then copy the file path when you're ready to download.
"The more we've used archived content for storytelling, the more we've realized that quickly finding old content is just as important as safely storing new content."

"I can quickly grab multiple files and send the whole batch to our editors."
"Grail transcribed all my large videos. Gemini could not do it."
"When memory fails, search wins. Grail made our media library searchable anywhere."
"I found thousands of files we did not need anymore, saving us a lot."
FAQ
Do I need a VPN to use Grail?
No. Grail enables secure access by having your network initiate an outbound connection to our servers, rather than opening your NAS to the public internet. Your video team can find footage during off-site shoots, your creative team can search from Starbucks, and your IT director can sleep at night.
What hardware is required?
Grail runs on a Mac Mini or Mac Studio. You can use your own hardware, or get one of the devices included in each Grail plan.
Is our content secure?
Grail never moves your files. Grail reads, indexes, and searches — it doesn't copy or store your media. Your content, your control.
