Impact:
Rebuilt mobile and TV apps from the ground up; improved engagement and brand alignment for a ministry with 2.5M+ mobile installs and 780K monthly streams

Grace to You, the broadcast ministry of Pastor John MacArthur, reaches millions through its radio, TV, and digital content. Their mobile and Apple TV apps had outgrown a templated platform and needed a redesign to match the scale and reputation of their ministry. We partnered with GTY’s internal team to design and develop a fully custom suite of frontend OTT apps—rebuilding their mobile and TV experience to improve content discovery, streamline navigation, and deliver a branded experience worthy of their global reach.

I served as lead engineer for the OTT components, collaborating with GTY’s in-house backend team to bring our high-fidelity prototypes to life across mobile and Apple TV. Our frontend work included tailored interfaces for sermon archives, video and audio playback, a 24/7 livestream, and even article and devotional content—uncommon in most OTT platforms. Completed in under 9 months, the result was a polished, stable, and fully custom cross-platform experience that now serves as a modern digital gateway for GTY’s vast library of teaching content.
