I thought I would share two podcast resources with you. Both are available for free from Itunes podcasts. Many of us commute or travel several hours per week as part of our ministry. I encourage you to use some of your commute or travel time to grow and be stretched.
Northwest Ministry Network podcasts
The Northwest Ministry Network, which I am a part of, podcasts all our training events. Our vision is to “Strengthening and developing empowered leaders and churches.” The most recent event was Calibrate, a training for church planters and multi-site churches. There are also some excellent messages from our Ministers Retreat. About May 1st we will add 16 more sessions from our Annual Conference workshops, plus all the plenary sessions.
Cornerstone Simi Video podcasts
These are the services from Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley California with Francis Chan. If your want to see a great model of simple Bible teaching, check them out. This is one of my favorite to listen to on the road. They are also available as audio only. BY the way, if you have not read Francis’ books (“Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God” and “Forgotten God: Reversing our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit”) I highly recommend both.
“Think Missional: Becoming the People God Intended” Book
The Northwest Ministry Leadership Team as part of an AGTS class produced a wonderful book to help churches become more missional. It could be used as a Bible study with boards, ministry leaders or small groups. If you were interested, you can buy a copy for $10.00 from Greg Stern (Director of Operations) Northwest Ministry Network) gregs@northwestministry.com — 35131 SE Douglas Street, Ste. 200, Snoqualmie, WA 98065, Tel 425.888.4800. If your liked it and wanted to use it with groups there are also discount pricing for larger quantities. The book includes ten chapter or studies.
