Thank You
Thank you for your interest in helping to support Lifespring! Media. It takes many hours to produce the quality shows that you like to hear, and it is my desire to continue to bring them to you.
I’m going to be honest with you. I am far from a rich man (financially speaking) and I need your help. 1 Timothy 5:18 says, “Those who work deserve their pay!” That’s an early mention of what is known today as the value-for-value model. If someone produces something of value, then they should receive financial support equal to that value.
Why Your Help Is Needed
In the summer of 2004, God laid this message on my heart: Proclaim My Name. For the full story of how I became the first to create a Christian podcast as a result of this call, click here.
Proclaiming the Name of God is at the center of every podcast episode you will find at LifespringMedia.com. From reading through the Bible in a year to telling the stories behind the beloved old hymns of the faith to explaining how to pronounce long Bible names, and more, the goal is always to draw you closer to the One who created you, loves you and provided a way for you to spend eternity in His presence.
Your donation will help keep this work alive, and it will help guarantee that none of our podcasts will ever need any outside advertisers who may try to influence the presentation of the Good News of Jesus Christ.
The primary home of our podcasts is right here at LifespringMedia.com. This is critically important, because the forces who are intolerant of the Christian message, and would try to de-platform or censor us from the internet seem to be growing stronger by the day. Lifespring! Media must have its own place on the internet, not dependent on YouTube, Facebook, Google, Apple or any other entity.
But there are costs associated with this kind of independence. Website hosting fees, media server fees, computers, studio, software. The list goes on and on.
With no outside advertisers, your help is vital. I cannot do this without your help. I need your prayers, your efforts to tell others about Lifespring! Media, and your financial support.
No Outside Advertisers
The only advertising that you will ever hear on any of the shows is for products or services that I personally, create or provide. There will never be any outside advertisers of any kind.
You can help support Lifespring! Media by buying my book or hiring me to do voice work for your business. But I need ongoing support as well, because the expenses go on and on.
Value
If you want to be part of reaching people around the world with the Gospel message, if you want to grow in your faith, if you believe that Jesus is the answer to the turmoil in the world today, the shows at Lifespring! Media are where the uncompromising truth that is taught in the Bible can be heard. To keep Lifespring! Media alive please support the work any way you can.
Do you receive value from the Lifespring! podcasts? How much value do you think I bring to your life by producing them? If you listen every day to the Lifespring! Family Audio Bible, on a normal week you are receiving a minimum of 70 minutes of Bible reading and commentary. In a year’s time, that’s over sixty hours. How much is that worth to you? What does that bring to your life? Is that worth a weekly or a monthly donation?
Value for value.
In order to continue to provide these shows, I truly do need your help.
How Much?

- Supporters who make donations totaling $1000 (or the equivalent value of satoshi) or more will receive the honored title of Berean. Men will henceforth be known as Brother and women as Sister. (ie, Brother Mark or Sister Martha) To differentiate names that may be duplicated, it is suggested that those earning the title of Berean attach a name or phrase to their first name. (ie, Brother Mark of the Eastern Valley, etc.)
- We read of the Bereans in Acts 17:10-15. The key verse for our purposes here is verse 11b, which says, ” The Bereans were eager to hear what Paul and Silas said and studied the Scriptures every day to find out if these things were true.
- Keeping track of donation totals is up to the person doing the giving. Once the $1000 (or the equivalent value of satoshi) threshold is met, email Steve with your total and your accounting, and the Berean name that you would like to claim.
- Bereans will also receive an autographed copy of Webb’s Easy Bible Names Pronunciation Guide in paperback.
