For the heart of church communicators: Bible 805, a podcast about history and the Bible

Bible 805, podcast and commentary
A Bible podcast and commentary from Yvon Prehn with an emphasis on church history and how it helps us understand the Bible.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, Jesus told us. It's valid to continue that thought that out of what's in our hearts is what will come out in our communications.

If our hearts are filled with God and his words, that will be reflected in our church communications.

It doesn't mean that we will only write devotionals and Bible lessons—though that might be part of it. It means that the tone, the attitude, the images and examples we use will be reflective of our Lord. The best way for that to happen is to so saturate your mind and heart with God's Word that his way of looking at life and reaching out to people will become second nature to you.

There is only one way to get that perspective and that is to spend time in God's Word and we now have a new and exciting way to do it through PODCASTS!

Who would have imagined the oldest way to communicate—with our voice—would be the latest, greatest thing in communications?

Even more, who would have imagined that one of the oldest technologies—radio—would be the basis for it?

But here we are with podcasts, a booming area of communications that literally anyone can do.

Effective Church Communications and podcasts

If you've been part of Effective Church Communications for some time, you know I've done a number of podcasts. I did a moderate amount of radio in the past, love the format and have done a lot of teaching and speaking so it seemed like a natural tool.

As with many things, the technology of it was very scary and that put me off for some time until I realized how simple it could be (this is an EXTREME simplification and I hope to do some videos to explain it more) with free Audacity and Lame software, plus an inexpensive headset microphone from Target (that's how I create mine).

Creating them was easy, what to do next was hard. I've tried various systems, all time-consuming and though the storage and distribution systems didn't cost a lot, it is a monthly cost. But the biggest challenge was HOW to distribute them? Yes, there are all sorts of ways to do that, but my brain was stretched enough just getting the podcast done and available.
