A Word of Thanks to Our Supporters + Update on New Projects
It’s 3:35 am and I’m working on an article on Revoice leader Greg Johnson leaving the PCA. I write between 2am to 730am (in bed by 9) and as at 3:35 in the morning, midway through the piece, I had to take a break and tell everyone that I’m struck with the weight of what we’re doing and the hands that make it possible.
Because of the years of support, I get to write a lot, and on occasion I can quickly pull up several reference articles in a manner of minutes, giving a brief background on Johnson and explaining why this move matters and is a big deal. What would normally take an hour takes 5 minutes because we’ve laid the groundwork.
Earlier I was looking at the stats, and I see much of our traffic isn’t coming from Gab, Twitter or Facebook but from folks searching for the people we’re talking about. This is a good thing! We function as a library of quick hits and easily digestible morsels for people to get primary documentation- pics, screenshots, videos and recordings, with our commentary overtop for the edification of their souls. This is what we have delivered for years, and we can see that bear out in the stats. This is all you.
You are the hands that build the library.
You are the hands that build safeguards in place to ensure that the library never goes away. You make message like this one we received possible:
Bless you all! I always loved Hillsong but every now and then it felt funny to sing some of their songs but I wasnt sure why, and every time my pastor quoted Brian Houston it seemed like what he was saynig wasnt right and yet sounded good. I found you and read every thing I could about Hillsong and I had no idea they were this bad. I cant argue with proof. My hubaand and I are going to talk to our pastor about this this weekend, and were bringing your articles with us. Please pray for us. We attend (REMOVED)
If you’ve been faithfully giving to us (again, only after you give sacrificially to your local church and only if you’re attending or looking for a church. Seriously.) I want to say again thank you so much. I can’t express how much I appreciate it. It’s been a challenging few months, especially with JD leaving and David and I wondering if this thing we built would continue to last.
Well, it is, and it has. Even though Facebook did something wild and wonky about three weeks ago and killed about 20% of our traffic, again, you’ve stayed faithful and helped us keep the lights on at a time when this economy is hurting many people. It is so, so, so good of you. Please thank your families for us, as I know any funds given to us are funds that you can’t spend on them, and that sacrifice is not unnoticed.
If you can’t give but have been praying for us and the work we do- that is also a joy and a blessing. Thank you, as what we do needs the Holy Spirit illuminating us, and your prayers are the means.
Lastly, we have a few projects to tell you about. First, I hope you’re all listening to Bible Bashed, as we love carrying it. Second, we’re still working on our 24/ streaming YouTube channel. They did something to us and cut us off from the main channel until December, so we’re making due until then. Third, we’re about to launch/ facilitate a new podcast, much like we do with the podcast Pirated Christian Radio. You’ll see in a few days, but it’s super cool and involves Spurgeon.
We’re also rejiggering the tags and featured words and phrases in the site’s metadata, so that it’s more easily searchable and should appear even higher on search sites, as we want this to be as user-friendly as possible. This is a big project, and I’m ready to burn the midnight oil.
That’s all for now. I know people always question this term, and we get in hot water for saying it by this that or the other person, but if you ever get tired of being a lovable freeloader, check out Patreon page here.
Our lowest tier gives you access to the full podcast, yet always remember that if you absolutely cannot afford it, please send us a message or a DM, and we will get you the show. An extra thanks to the donors giving $49.95, as your generous contributions cover costs and pay for these “scholarships,” especially those residing in other countries.
In His grip.

Since the proprietors of this entertainment website, which is practically indistinguishable from numerous parody channels, persist in labeling ad-watching revenue-generating non-Patreon viewers as freeloaders, I have no compunction in labeling said proprietors as useful idiots.
