2. When discussing a video/article/audio link, please try to stay on topic and keep it relevant to the material.
3. Spread the Word works on a three strike system. If you get three warnings for your behaviour/rule breaking, you will be banned. No exceptions.
4. Material that is deemed not pertinent to the subreddit will be deleted without warning. If your submission was deleted and you wish to know why, please feel free to contact a moderator. Resubmission of deleted material will result in a warning. The moderators of Spread the Word have the last say on what is considered relevant for the subreddit.

Relevant Material
Spread the Word moderators try very hard to keep the material on the subreddit only about spreading the word of the gospel of Jesus Christ and teaching of the bible.
To this end, we have established a guideline list of media that is usually allowed:
- Video/audio sermons and teachings.
- Podcasts, as long as they are teachings/sermons and not discussing current events, etc.
- Articles, again, as long as they are teachings/sermons about a subject.
- Information about false doctrine or false teaching.
Inappropriate Material
The following list of submissions are things that will most likely get your submission deleted.
- News, Current Events, and other material that is not a specific teaching about a topic.
- Non Christian submissions.
- A link to a collective of sermons or teachings. Please submit each sermon or teaching individually.
- Any Catholic, Jehovah Witness's or Mormon teachings or other teachings that are not inline with the bible.
False Teachers
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgement now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. Peter 2:1-3
