ST. GEORGE, Utah– In today’s digital age, domain names can carry significant spiritual weight, but many of the most iconic religious domains have fallen into misuse or they are locked up to prevent others from using them. Sadly, there are people who purposely buy domain names to prevent others from benefiting from them based on religious or political reasons. For instance, for decades God.com shows nothing but a blank page – not even a Bible verse, while Jesus.com contains messaging that distorts the core of Christianity – professing that God loves same-sex marriages, churches are boring, and that Jesus must have been gay.
One of the most powerful names, PraiseAndWorship.com, has been buried for more than 27 years. Like the servant in the “Parable of the Talents (Bags of Gold)” (Matthew 25:14), this precious resource has been hidden from the world. Yet, the term “Praise and Worship” is mentioned in over 177 million web documents globally, proving the immense potential of this domain for ministry work.
While these domain names are for sale, ranging between 3 to 12 million dollars, it might not be good stewards of money to be spending that kind of cash to resurrect one of them. As a result, countless visitors searching for spiritual guidance are left disheartened, confused, or misdirected.
Despite the darkness, Brad and Vienna Morehouse, worship leaders at Elevate Church in St. George, Utah, have felt a calling to restore PraiseAndWorship.com to its rightful purpose. Through prayer and faith, Brad proposed an unconventional trade to the domain’s owner. He offered one of his own domain names in exchange for PraiseAndWorship.com — a trade that seemed impossible without divine intervention. In a turn of events, the owner accepted the trade, allowing the couple to reclaim this sacred digital space.
Brad and Vienna are called to build a community around PraiseAndWorship.com and are inviting investors and creative partners to join their mission of good stewardship. As Brad says, “Together, let’s be faithful stewards of the resources God has given us.”
