Echo Zoe Ministries has operated for nearly a decade on mostly self-donated funds. Outside support is awesome, and a huge encouragement, but rare (and I'm still in awe of the guy who donated almost all of the money needed to buy Logos about 3 years ago)
I'll be at "Basic Tier" until getting to 50 active supporters. Currently at 2. If that ever happens, these quotas go up. Rumor is that at 1,000, they all go to unlimited, but that isn't listed in the online documents for Locals.
The big one for me is Uploads. I'm careful to reprocess video to reduce the size, and it's why I do 720 instead of 1080 (if you've noticed.) The nice thing is that the number counts uploads, not posts. So all that stuff I queued up has already been counted in the quota, and much of the quota will go back to zero-used before those videos even post.
I'd love to do occasional livestreams. They're a lot of fun from the supporter side, as they have a live chat feature that goes with them. It would be a hoot to interact with everyone through live streams. The kicker isn't the 5 livestream per month limit, it's the 30 minutes per livestream. That goes up to an hour at 50 supporters, and 90 minutes at 500 (I don't foresee ever getting to 100, much less 500.)
Andrew Rappaport and Fred Butler return for the sixth annual Roundtable. The three of us each brought a topic to discuss for roughly 20 minutes. We start with Andrew, who wanted to talk a little about "Christian Nationalism," primarily that he doesn't like the use of the term. Fred followed with a discussion of "Worldviews," which came out of his book on Apologetics. To finish, we talk about Christians participating in politics, primarily through voting, but also about other forms of participation.
Will Dobbie is pastor of Emmanuel Church of Knoxville, Tennessee, and author of “From Everlasting to Everlasting: Every Believer's Biography,” and “A Time to Mourn: Grieving the Loss of Those Whose Eternities Were Uncertain.” He returns to talk about mourning the deaths of loved ones who are either unsaved, or whose salvation is unclear.

Gene Clyatt returns for a fourth installment of English Reformation history {at least in regard to the time-period.) Gene was first on with me in August of 2021, where he talked about the early days of the English Reformation under Henry the 8th and Bishop Thomas Cranmer. In the May, 2022 episode, Gene returned to talk about England under Queen Elizabeth I. Last November, he talked about England under King James I.
For this episode, we get into the Witch Trials. Gene gives some history on how they began, talks about how King James brought them to Scotland and England, and how they ended up in the American Colonies, with Salem being the best-known.
