All right, listen, guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry

0:04.6

because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and

0:09.5

admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.

0:16.1

Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of

0:23.3

this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star

review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.

1:37.1

contrast the evils of the Sky people, the film is forced to paint a picture of truth, beauty, and

goodness within the culture of the native

and values. In love, a man commits to one woman for life,
