5 Reasons Creators Should Choose Locals OVER Patreon (+ Q &A)

[@pintswithaquinas]

5:04 1st Reason - You Own EVERYTHING 7:50 2nd Reason - Members & Supporters 10:11 3rd Reason - Supporters ALSO create content 11:36 4th Reason - More complete product and experience 12:54 5th Reason - Personal help from Locals

[@davidaugustini8455]

The biggest thing I've found to adjust to was seeing the latest of Your content. That is partly due to the number of "pinned" posts and partly learning how Locals works in how to see just your content when I want to see what you've posted vs yours and support content mixed together. That is no to say that I don't want to see the supporter content. I end up opening theirs in a new tab as I go so I don't lose where I am and can go back and view what they shared.

Hi Matt for someone to say you’re channel is such a blessing! I did go over and look at the local channel and will be switching over to that but I noticed that you were wearing a miraculous medal I was wondering where you got it if you don’t mind telling me I wanted to get one for our sons. Thank you and God bless!

[@witchhunter8489]

Many reasons to leave catholicism. Debunking catholicism I'm more blessed than mary Proof = Luke 11:27-28 27 And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!” 28 But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” AMEN and AMEN. _________________________ 1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach Paul allows bishops to get marry, but catholic church goes against paul. _________________________ Jesus said Matthew 23:9 9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And also said Holy Father to Heavenly Father= John 17:11 11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. Jesus said call no one Father but still catholics call *pope holy father. Sad _________________________ Whenever a catholic argue about mary being the mother of God Use this to defeat the argument. Luke 8:21 But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.” Matthew 12:46-50 46 While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. 47 Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” 48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”. Mark 3:35 For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother.” John 19:26-27 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. ( Jesus basically said John is the son of mary, and mary is the mother of John from that time onwards). By the way sarah is the mother of all proof=Galatians 4:21-26. _________________________ We should not pray to apostles Romans 1:25 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Acts 10:25-26 25 As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. 26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up; I myself am also a man.” Acts 14:15 15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them, Revelation 19:10 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Revelation 22:8-9 8 Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God." Colossians 2:18 18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, Holy Spirit intercedes for us=Romans 8:26 26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession [a]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And CHRIST as well=Romans 8:34 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Hebrews 7:25 25 Therefore He is also able to save [a]to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. It's Christ and Holy Spirit who intercedes for us not apostles There is only one Mediator between God and men LORD Jesus Christ= 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus. _________________________ Apostles are allowed to marry, 1 Corinthians 9:1-5 1 Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? 2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 3 My defense to those who examine me is this: 4 Do we have no right to eat and drink? 5 Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? If Peter (peter is cephas read John 1:42) the so called "first pope" was married, why does the catholic church doesn't allow "pope" to marry? _________________________ The so called vicar of christ/ pope/holy father Peter called himself a fellow elder in 1 Peter 5:1, and as per the qualifications of elder in Titus 1:5-9 the elder is allowed to get married; then why does the "pope" is required to be celibate and catholic? ( when Peter was neither celibate nor catholic). 1)Peter was not perfect human nor was he a perfect disciple 2)He sank down while walking on water 3)Our Lord said to peter get behind me satan 4)Peter reject our Lord 3 times 5)Our Lord rebuked Peter for calling fire from heaven 6)Our Lord rebuked Peter when he cut of the soilders ear 7)Paul rebuked Peter for being hypocrite because he was acting different in front of Jews and different in front of gentiles. 8) Moses messed up, and he was a important part of Bible ( that's why he never entered the promised land), 9)David messed up ( and he has the Holy Spirit), 10)King Soloman messed up, 11)The apostles run away a day before Lord Jesus got locked up. 12)The early church messed up Rev 2:18-20 If these great people could mess up, why do you think the catholic church wouldn't mess up. ____________________________________ Galatians 4:21-26 21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar- 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children- 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. Sarah is mother of all, Not mary.......

Matt's new Let's Play channel: Games with Aquinas

[@Halo-wp3zh]

You know what I think I'll watch that, plus there's a zelda figurine on the shelfs

[@marciwyrd8905]

I checked out locals, I think it's really cool. My problem with locals is that I have to pay a fee for every person I want to subscribe to. I'd rather have a subscription that I can pay monthly and every month the company pays the people I'm subscribed to. To me that makes more sense, most people can't afford $50 dollars a month for wanting to subscribe to 10 people. Some people can, I can myself, but I grew up in a minimum wage one income household. Most people cannot afford that kind of thing unless they don't have a family to support.

[@laughingvampire7555]

how is that attractive to creators?

[@ZEFFENWULF]

@@laughingvampire7555 they clearly have no idea how these business models work

[@salitz91]

I'll make the jump from Patreon this week! Thanks for the deep dive, Matt.

[@DiademLife]

Thank you so much for eloquently and simply teaching others how it’s a simple decision to join Locals. This video helped me settle the issue and start with Locals. There’s a lot going on at the beginning of a public ministry as you are well aware. Thank you for helping me in these initial first steps. I also appreciate that being a man of the cloth does not necessarily mean wearing priestly robes. Thank you for ministering to all those you can, without cowardice.

[@meritsolutions6791]

Oh, so helpful. We had been checking out Patreon and you saved us. Thanks, brother!

[@therobertrichter1]

Wondering when you're going to talk @FreedomToons into switching to Locals

[@EpoRose1]

YES. I’m seriously flabbergasted they haven’t been canceled yet.

[@sunrhyze]

I just realized I've been pushing Matt to offer a $5 tier at Locals, thinking they had multiple tiers as options, but now I realize I was thinking of Patreon. Patreon has multiple tiers. It's a really clever system, and I wish that Locals would offer the same thing. I just can't afford multiple $10 memberships to all the people I want to follow. I am regularly pruning expenses, though, so at some point maybe I'll find that $10 a month for Matt. I do really enjoy Pints with Aquinas videos; the Joe Rogan-length interviews and conversations are informative and enjoyable.

[@DiademLife]

Fantastic information. Thank you for spending the time to learn how to minister to others (on social media). Diadem Life is young so this video helped me make the decision to start on Locals first. We are already on KZbin and Rumble but need a way to connect with others.

Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career and purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

[@thousandaireradio3199]

[@rosiegirl2485]

Not sure where to leave a suggestion for a future show. It seems all the mainstream Catholics have been interviewed, except for Dr. David Anders. I would enjoy hearing him long-form.

[@saturdaysolitude7800]

[@nicoleyoshihara4011]

Cool! I never heard of Locals! I have been thinking of starting a Catholic KZbin channel but I feel I don't know that much about the faith and there are already a good number of amazing channels. However, maybe I can contribute my own unique perspective and I'm in my 20s and single. I do think we need more from this state of life. God Bless Matt! Happy for being able to follow yoir channel!^_^❤

[@mebenn3382]

you may be able to work out a way to do your own sort of tier thing by sending out one time use discord links for different tiers to people giving x amount.

[@Littlemermaid17]

I tried w Locals but it’s a very odd set up, couldn’t figure it out.

[@juanmanuelsanchezrodriguez6325]

Is it 'local' as it name sugests? Or is it available at any part of the world?

[@Holly-kj6rs]

Yes I was wondering about this too bc I've heard that Patreon is only available in certain countries. If Locals is available worldwide, that's a major plus but I can't seem to find anything about that on their site

[@1984SheepDog]

You should invite Francis Chan on PWA!

[@Halo-wp3zh]

Hey Matt when this video was live someone asked you to have Christian Prince in your channel can you please have him? He's a big deal to us Christians who live in a Muslim majority country tho you probably can't meet him in person since he hide his face
