PodCasts

Interested in receiving God-centered teaching, interesting interviews, and stimulating discussion of contemporary events and ministry from a Christian world view?  If the answer is yes, consider subscribing to the free "podcasts" listed below.  Podcasts are MP3 recordings of radio programs that are downloaded to your PC automatically.

Worship.com strives to make available theologically sound resources from friends and pastors who share our commitment to historical, apostolic, biblical truth and contemporary, progressive, biblical ministry.  To that end, we recommend the programs listed below. At the same time, whether it be through worship.com or any other website, book or media broadcast, you should always consider what you read or hear in light of God's Word, which is the only final and infallible authority on all matters.

Also, don't make these messages your sole source of Bible teaching.  You should use these only to supplement what you are already getting through membership and involvement in your local church body.   A life that is enthusiastically yearning to know more about God and grow in service to Him is honoring to God, and these broadcasts can help toward that end.  However, don't become an island to yourself and your iPod.

If you have an ipod, or similar MP3 aggregator, simply add the URL listed below for the aggregator of your choice (iTunes and iPodder are popular aggregators).  These programs will download new episodes in MP3 format to your computer each time a new episode is produced.  You can then either listen to them on your PC, or download them to your iPod or MP3 player and listen to them on the go.

R.C. Sproul/Renewing Your Mind: The international radio broadcast of Ligonier Ministries.

Way of the Master: Way of the Master Radio is a satellite, terrestrial and Internet radio broadcast designed to help you witness more effectively and get more out of God's Word.  Television surfers may have come across the television version of this program on TBN.  If so, you may be inclined to throw this baby out with the bathwater, but you would be wrong to do so.  This program is well done, and has the feel of a drive time secular radio program while at the same time avoiding the watering down or distortion of the gospel.  The first hour typically features interviews and discussion about current trends in culture, ministry and theology, while the second is devoted to real-world street evangelism.
