Years ago, the reason most ministries charged for the sermons (according to their spokespersons) was so they could produce good materials. We assumed they meant so they could buy good recording devices and duplicators. But now, anyone with a $50 microphone, free Audacity software and a laptop can put a podcast up for next to nothing. So the only reason to still charge for the sermons is to make money. But I think the deeper reason is that churches still don't want the rest of the culture to know what they're doing. Not really.
