PODCASTS You should be listening to...

Friday, May 25, 2007
These are the podcasts that I have on my iTunes library. I listen to these all the time. Listen to these guys, turn off the music sometime and listen to something that will bless your soull . (Yes Christian music is good but seriously the same lyrics over and over don't hold a hat to Biblical teaching or conversation.) If there is a 1 means listen to it, it's the jam. I would love to hear what you guys have to say about these in the future.

I have them divided into 1. Church planting, Church, Culture, these are the ones that I find interesting about Cultural issues, Church and Church planting stuff. Preaching it different places I listen to good Biblical preaching. Finances are something that I take and interest in I am hard core about staying out of debt and glorifying God through giving and building for the future. Lastly are the weirdos, these are the crazies I listen to to keep up with what the other side is saying.

I am going to break these down by topic and here is the key.

(1). Listen to this one and don't miss a one

(2). Listen to this when I get a chance but really enjoy what it says

(3). Listen to this when I am doing research

(4). I pick and choose who I want to listen to from this one.

this is a great list- i commute about an hour each day and find this to be a perfect amount of time to listen to one of Mark Dever's sermons...

How exactly is Tony Campolo a weirdo ?. Which of his views are you really concerned about?. Is it his contention that the right wing of the USA has hijacked christianity and turned it into what it is not?. Is it because he expouses a Jesus centric christianity as opposed to the Israel worshipping zionistic one which is prevalent in the USA and is promulgated by TBN and its ilk ?. Maybe is because he calls a spade a spade and does not believe that USA is the 'last hope on earth' ?

I believe you know he makes a lot of sense, if not you will not be listening.

Ha - had to get this off my chest. Please try and add some substance to your opinion or stop waffling about.
