The site is easy to navigate and understand, so the feedback below is more nit-picky, clean-up stuff. I hope it's helpful to you.
One opportunity for better usability would be to add hover effects on all things that can be clicked on. I see them on system links, but not on some of the buttons and carousels profiles on the homepage. Some links inside the site, including the logo at top left, seem to be linking to http://www.bibleexperience.com./ Note the period inside the slash. Is that correct? I've been studying uses of icons like one next to the names of actors and actresses on the "Cast" page, and I've typically found that they are used to indicate new windows or overlays - but these are just links. You might consider another icon. I've found in usability testing that when a video is paused, users like to see an overlay with a play button on top of the video and potentially even the word "resume" so that they know a click will restart the video. In terms of hierarchy - under "Audio Samples", it seems there is also a video tab. If I'm correct on that, this section might be more appropriately named, "Media Samples". And why not put the one that you default to first? For instance, if you want to feature audio, that could be the first tab? On the "Free Downloads" page, the PDF should include a PDF indicator so users know what to expect. Under "Reviews", you might be able to be more clear about what ratings means. Perhaps a title like, "Was this helpful to you?" would make the meaning more clear. It was also not intuitive to me that when I clicked on a review's title, the only new content I'd get is a form where I could right my own review. Consider a tabbed structure here - the default could be "Read Reviews" and the next option could be "Submit Your Own Review". If you remove that functionality from the individual review level, you may no longer need a freestanding page for each review at all. My last suggestion for this section is that you may reconsider the way that "Email this Review" functions. I was caught off guard by the fact that it opened my email client. "Permalink" might be a more common implementation - giving a way for users to grab the link to copy & paste into their own browser. And, the footer links seem to be broken or not yet ready. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
