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

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

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

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

because they wanted to seek after God but rather they were trying to exploit something

this and that and the other so um revivals have a long history of being a complicated thing

there's never been a revival without sin.

And, you know, the worst fake revivals that aren't actually revivals, even in those cases,

Right. I mean, I have been a part of heretical services, church services,

that the Lord has, has in his mercy, in his sovereignty, if God's sovereign over all things,
