When purchasing the Cube you need to change "I'd like to donate:" to "Other" and change the amount to $1 and complete checkout per normal.

Be inspired with the Joel Osteen Audio cube: featuring 365 daily Inspirations, 52 sermons and 31 affirmations. Or you can pull out the SD card and put whatever you want on it per the below links:
https://twitter.com/foone/status/1338645260323356672?lang=en - I used this guide as it seemed easier.

The cube is also a high quality Bluetooth speaker and it does sound pretty good.

The only down side is the charger is for US plug and it took about a month to arrive. But as it is a donation and the cube is a free gift so you can probably deduct on tax? Edit: turns out it's not Tax deductible :(

I made up a basic Excel sheet to rename the files with rather crude instructions: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cSjhTuxigi_6qNZyvEG0pyAx3b_…

        This was hilarious as it got increasingly difficult to explain what they were trying to do. It just became “send the money”.

    Thanks OP, website accepted 1c as a donation.

    • LazyDays on 23/03/2022 - 22:53

      Were you able to get the cube as well, or was it just a 1c donation?

      • Borg on 23/03/2022 - 23:52

        Min spend would be $1 for Cube option to show up. Even for $1, this is going to end up in landfill after the novelty factor wears off so best save the environment and NOT buy!

        • Skinnerr on 27/03/2022 - 16:59

          The novelty factor of listening to music?

          • xoom on 27/03/2022 - 18:09

            @Skinnerr: If the contents of the memory card was not rewritable and the thing only played this prestored music and sermons. Then sure. That novelty will wear off.

            But since you can overwrite the contents of the microsd card and you can use the speaker connected to say your phone vua bluetooth. Then i can't see how having the novelty of this as a $1 bt speaker will wear off.

            And going by the review of those who have received it last time. The sound isnt bad. Not that anyone who got it $1 can really complain.

    Head to the 'Controversies' section

    I think it would be wise to add this link and allow people to follow through and see how some (looks like ALL of them to me) of the allegations they are making, have been corrected/clarified/retracted etc.

    Just a thought.

    Then you have the pharmacist who was diluting cancer fir profit. Part of the money went to tithes to his local church.

  • Ramrunner on 24/03/2022 - 11:39

    So does this have a battery? Sorry I watched the super inspirational video (dude's haristyle is sick!), and read the we site blurb - but nowhere does it say whether this thing is truly portable (battery) or I have to plug it in all the time.

    Truly aplogize if I missed it.

  • popsiee on 24/03/2022 - 11:48

    Nice the dudes donations have paid for a cube you can put on in the morning inspiring people to give him more money .
    Its a wonderful world :)

    • xoom on 24/03/2022 - 11:50

      Or you can overwrite the mp3 in it with those of your own choosing.

      Or you can play highway to hell by AC/DC via your phone as this is a bluetooth speaker after all.

      • popsiee on 24/03/2022 - 11:58

        I think it would join my small Google and Amazon smart speakers and become a paper weight .

  • HairyChickens on 24/03/2022 - 14:13

    Apparently the SD card houses a virus?

    • xoom on 24/03/2022 - 14:16

      Only harmful to windows machine. So use linux or mac and you are good.

      • HairyChickens on 24/03/2022 - 14:26

        So wipe on mac then safe on windows?

        • xoom on 24/03/2022 - 14:43

          Or replace the microsd card entirely. It is 4GB only. 8 or even 16GB is cheap enough.

    • timpo on 24/03/2022 - 16:32

      There wasn't any additional files on the SD of the ones I have modified and windows defender didn't pick anything up. So it's possible there was a bad batch or something. So if concerned just format in a camera, phone, Mac, Linux or even a nintendo switch.

      • xoom on 24/03/2022 - 16:41

        Or raspberry pi. 😂

  • yht on 24/03/2022 - 22:30

    Any shipping notification provided ?

  • PeppaPigDidNthngWrng on 25/03/2022 - 11:54

    What I like is a) $1USD is rather less than the speaker costs b) shipping to Australia from the USA is rather exorbitant.

    • xoom on 25/03/2022 - 11:55

      Donation is in AUD.

      And its not shipped from USA. Its ships here from one of their local cult branches.

      Likely shipped here from some factory in china. Where its made.

      • PeppaPigDidNthngWrng on 25/03/2022 - 11:57

        You've crushed my spirit this morning.

        Only the words of Joelo Steen can revive the spark within me now.

      • timpo on 25/03/2022 - 12:27

        The battery was made in 2020 and the SD files last changed in 2020. So I think they may have made millions of them and have a warehouse full, possibly in china. But I don't think they are making new ones.

        • tonyjzx on 27/03/2022 - 20:07

          if you of it like this in that this church has hundreds of millions of dollars

          it would not take too much money to get an ODM in china to modify and existing example of whatever the hell this is based on… an alarm clock? and custom smack out a heap of these for… I want to say a project like this can be done for $250,000 usd…. and just store them and send them out

        • Cherry12 on 02/06/2022 - 13:23

          I finally received them. I actually like his preaching. However, where is the SD card? I could only play other thing through Bluetooth.

    Opened up easily, removed memory card, put back together with just rear screw holding it together (for time being).
    Took under 2min!

    With memory card removed it is no longer inspirational. Bye Joel!
    Now top row of buttons don't function. After start up, displays "Bluetooth Device Paired". Now just a great $1 Bluetooth Speaker🔊

    Don't know if I will bother to program the memory card!

    Playing music stored on my phone via Bluetooth, sitting outside in the sun.
    Now that is inspirational🌞

    Fantastic Deal👍
    Ordering another to give away, after changing the front panel.

    • INFIDEL on 15/06/2022 - 07:26

      "After receiving my Joel Osteen Ministries "The Inspiration Cube" - I can See the Light!"

      Seems no setting to dim/disable the display.
      Too bright for use beside bed at night… Even though it is a recommended location. Found no advice online.

      With use only as a Bluetooth Speaker - there is no real use for the display.
      Battery level check is about only reason, but an audible low battery warning is given.

      So covered display with strip of black electrical tape, with end doubled over so can peel back.

      Renamed the Bluetooth device on phone to just "Cube".

      • timpo on 15/06/2022 - 11:54

        The trick is to face it down to stop the light.

        • INFIDEL on 15/06/2022 - 14:13

          Easier just to apply black tape once (if not playing "sermons"), than face down every night in bedroom, then turn over to turn on/off etc😉

      • INFIDEL on 19/06/2022 - 12:06

        Might investigate disconnecting display backlight on PCB. Don't need the display for Bluetooth Speaker. Should extend play time - a bit.

    Strange FAQ about The Inspiration Cube:

    Is it true that this cube speaks without being asked?
    It sometimes advises me to take 10-12 Benadryl before having fun with my spouse or by myself, but I have to trust it because Joel Osteen says so.

    Is this cube going to help me keep my jeans tight and high?
    My cube was quite helpful in keeping my jeans tight and high.

    My 5 has arrived. Time to pull these apart to hijack the microsd in them.

      What are you going to do with your 5?

      • xoom on 06/07/2022 - 18:04

        A work colleague ended with one. Religious fella. So his speaker was unmodified. The rest. I'm using one. Not yet modded as been busy.

        Sounds worth more than $1 bt speaker.

        • INFIDEL on 06/07/2022 - 20:25

          Am (now occasionally) enjoying mine.
          Got it more out of curiosity about the tech. So got straight to to the mod.
          For $1 - was worth it.

          As you know - don't need to mod to use as BT speaker. So no great advantage. But very easy to do.

          Just happier without accidentally pressing a button & hear the preachings of Joel😜

          Mine hasn't been used much after the first weeks.

    • INFIDEL on 19/06/2022 - 12:07

      Ordering at least 1 more to use as dedicated Bluetooth Speaker. Paired with old Android phone with music player / streaming app & plenty of music on memory card.
      That way can leave Cubes on charge where needed.

      Won't bother storing music on the Cube, as phone app provides better & easier selection of music, plus basic features like music sorted by artist etc, playlists & equaliser. Then only need to turn Cube on - everything else is controlled by phone.

      It's been over a decade since I pressed physical buttons to select music. Don't miss it.

      Ordered 5. Received in 2 boxes. 1 had 3 the other package had 2.

      Which was odd as the box where the 3 was in had 6 of them originally as noted in the box. So it boggles the mind why they couldn't have sent it with that one box.
