Jesus in Matthew 15 teaches that it's not what you swallow that pollutes your life, but what you vomit up.
And anything that is swallowed works it's way through the intestines and is finally defecated. But what comes out of the mouth gets its start in the heart. It’s from the heart that we vomit up all varaiations of evil.
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. And sometimes the ear influences the abundance of the heart. One way is through the subtle influence of podcasts.
'People love podcasts’ audio familiarity, convenience and lower barrier to entry.'
Some basic requiremements to start a podcast include a sharable idea and the right equipments which sometimes can just be a mobile phone and recording kits.
Unfortunately, popularity has aided in the skewing of substances and the blatant display of lack of depth especially in topically engaging discourses.
But there is a new crop of believers who rather than solely making complaints about the mistruths a lot of podcasts have offered, they have taken the responsibility of creating edifying content and exhuming fastly depleting morals through the podcast medium.
For the first extension of the Baton Spotlight (a listicle of various impact making creatives in culturaly defining fields) we spotlight eleven faith-based Podcasts that young people can consume.
In alphabetical order, here is the first extension of The Baton Spotlight.
