Truli has implemented a very unique feature. You may search for specific words inside a sermon or other video. You will see a search box at the bottom of the player window. Simply type in a word you want to search for and our powerful search technology will find the words inside the video. A blue Heat Map will display at the bottom of the video, your words will appear when there is red on the heat map. You may click and hold your mouse and drag around to place the cursor exactly where you want to be in order to listen to the words you are looking for.
Note: The technology only works with our Flash player on video's played on a computer. It is not yet availble on our mobile and table experiences.

We try encourage user comments that are beneficial and enlightening. Details in issues of faith vary from community to community.

Our inter-denominational structure will almost certainly produce some sort of debate but we will attempt to keep such differences of opinion out of the public posts. But please report any abuse or disregard of our user policy guidelines to support@trulimediagroup.com.
Right now the only way to get a transcript is to contact the ministry directly and see if a transcript is available.

The inspiration for the name Truli comes from the Bible. While searching for a company name, we noted that some of the most profound statements in the bible contained the words Truth, True andTruly. We also noted that many of Jesus’ most profound statements started with the words "Truly, Truly, I say unto you...." Thus, we became Truli Media Group. It’s a multigenerational name. It’s from and for many perspectives across the Christian faith. It speaks to the truth spoken by Jesus in the Bible. For example:
- Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen...” (John 3:11)
- But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him.” (1 John 2:5)
Truli is unlike anything offered for the Christian community today. Truli opens the door to a wide variety of Christian entertainment, spiritual insights and educational content, including music, concerts, movies, sermons, comedy and internet/TV programs – all within a trusted, secure and interactive online community brought together by a shared belief.
