Daily Truth host addresses funding challenges amid economic struggles, urging five-star reviews to counter shadow banning. He details how the Bible remained inaccessible for 1,500 years until Protestant reformers like Tyndale and Luther broke the Roman Catholic monopoly on the Latin Vulgate. The segment argues that historical illiteracy served the Church's interest in enforcing transubstantiation rituals, contrasting this with Protestant word-centric faith where belief comes through hearing Scripture rather than seeing imagery. Ultimately, the episode suggests true religious freedom requires direct access to the preached Word over institutional control. [Automatically generated summary]

Faith Comes By Hearing00:03:32
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 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.
We hope you'll take the time to do so.
Thank you so much.
God bless.
Jesus said, Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
You're listening to Daily Truth.
Did you know that only in this last 2,000 years of church history since the cross, that only the most recent 500 years, so 25% of that 2,000 years, have we had the Bible?
In languages that we could read.
And men, as you probably know, gave their lives for that.
William Tyndale, Martin Luther, he didn't die for it, but got close.
People went out of their way at very great cost, even at times the cost of their lives, in order to translate the Word of God out of the Latin Vulgate, which is what the Roman Catholic monopoly on the Scripture, breaking up that monopoly, that Catholic empire, and translating in the vulgar tongue, meaning the common language, and then, of course, teaching people to read.
Primarily, the ability, just the notion that children, every single child, boy, girl, from a very young age, should know how to read.
That's a Protestant notion.
Roman Catholics didn't come up with that.
Roman Catholics, it's in their best interest that you don't know how to read.
Right?
That's why they still, you know, they've expanded their horizons a bit, you know, but they really like the Latin Mass.
Did you know the term hocus pocus?
Whoo, magic.
You know what that comes from?
I'm going to mispronounce it, disclaimer, but something like hokei pokei or something like that.
It's Latin, which is why I mispronounced it, but it's what the priest would say right before transubstantiation, turning the bread and the wine into the literal body and literal blood of Christ.
And the people thought it was magic back in the day because that's what the Catholic Church said, right?
They had more interest in robes and tassels and imagery.
Than in content.
Right?
Because, in a nutshell, both Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, I might add, faith comes by seeing.
But for those who have a Bible and can read it, faith cometh by hearing.
And hearing the word of Christ.
Protestants are word centric, always have been.
Whether it be the Puritans or before them, the Reformers.
Within the Protestant tradition, what you have is the table of the Lord in a subservient position to the pulpit.
And the pulpit has nothing to do with the man who stands behind it, it has everything to do with this book preached.
Living In A Recession00:01:37
Can I be frank with you for just a second, right here at the end?
Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry, and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you.
I cannot thank you enough.
However, some of you, you just can't afford it.
In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it.
Let's be honest.
I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy.
Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID.
We have written checks that we simply cannot cash.
It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession.
We are living in a recession right now, regardless.
Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store.
You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you.
But you could still help us tremendously.
I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.
Leave us a five star review on your favorite podcast platform iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be.
This is the way the system works.
We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers.
We need to be strategic.
You leave us a five star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.
And the Word of God.
And courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of life gets out there.
