Podcasts!

I have recently found podcasts! Most of you have already been using them, right?

Since being here in China, I have missed listening to sermons, NPR, and so much more on the radio... but now I have podcasts! I have downloaded the following and a lot more:
  • Church Planting Movements: Dr. David Garrison answers some commonly asked questions about church planting movements.
  • CPM Training Resources
  • Richland Hills Church of Christ
  • CSLPOD - Chinese as a Second Language
  • Classic Sinai Podcast
  • 12 Byzantine Rulers: The History of the Byzantine Empire
  • NPR: Car Talk; Intelligence Squared; Technology (and a few others)
  • Big Ideas
  • Answers in Genesis Ministries
  • Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders Seminar

I am half way through the first installment of CPM Training Resources - it is called Your Prayer Network. I learned that the people making the greatest impact on their communities are the ones praying the most. Is this a surprise? Not really, but how much do you think they are praying each day? A few minutes? An hour? Try 4 hours! That is a lot of praying!

If you really want God to work in your life, what should you do? Pray.
If you really want God to work through you and get the lives of those around you, what should you do? Pray!

This has caused me to rethink how I spend my time (or should I say His gift of time).
