Our denominational leadership asked me to do an article on podcasting to help pastors and church leaders better understand this “new” medium. I remember when I first proposed this article about a year ago, corporations weren’t interested and it was fairly wide open with all kinds of individuals going in every direction possible. But just as the West was settled, so has the world of podcasting. There are still many more podcasts that aren’t money making or corporate sponsored ventured but we are slowly being overshadowed.
Still, the technology and freedom of the Net is a tremendous resources for the Church as the printing press was during the Protestant Reformation. We just need to change from looking at it as information transfer and instead embrace it as a meaningful conduit for relationships.
