What I Listen To - [Blog Hop]

Today's post is very special, because it is a "blog hop." Five blogs are all writing on the same topic, and we hope you will check each one out.
The topic today is simply podcasting. Five writers are each listing the podcasts (by category) they listen to, and linking to where you can find the information about that podcast. At the bottom of the post is the link to the other writers who are involved.

*All but one of the links below to podcasts will take you to their iTunes page. If you look along the left side of the page, under the heading labeled "Links," you will find a link to the website associated with the podcast.

MY PODCAST LIST

#1: Podcasts by members of churches of Christ

• Mt. Juliet church of Christ - While I can't seem to find an RSS feed, I will still occasionally download a few lessons and load them on my iPhone when I get the chance.


• Bear Valley Sermoncast - More than just sermons, includes several helpful series.


• Preachinghelp.org (Steve Higginbotham)


• Spring Meadows church of Christ


• Preachers in Training - great, great information for all preachers, hosted by Robert Hatfield.


• Culture Shock, with Torrey Clark - great discussions about taking a stand against cultural norms.


• MinistryGeek This Week - Michael Hite, Caleb O'Hara, Dale Jenkins, grumpy muppets, and technology uses in ministry. Long time favorite.


• iPreach - Keeps me going.

#2: Other Religious Podcasts

• Your Move - Andy Stanley - I get some good nuggets from this. 


• Desiring God - John Piper - though he's leaving the church he worked with for several decades, so far as I know John Piper is going to keep up with his "Desiring God" work. Some great, deep information here.


• Albert Mohler:
  
  
  
  • The Briefing - current events from a "Christian worldview."
  
  
  • Thinking in Public - All sorts of interesting thing.
  
  
  
  

#3: News and Information

• This American Life - While I can't say that every episode is fit to listen to (they don't censor the podcast version like they do the radio version), they do give a content warning up front if its offensive. Also


• Story of the Day - Short, highlights some interesting story from the day.


• Stuff You Missed in History Class - exactly as the title states.


• TED Talks - Great ideas. Sometimes a little out there, but most of the time very interesting.


• Stuff You Should Know - Like "How police sketches work," and "How sleepwalking works," and "What would happen if the world stopped spinning."

#4: Just for Fun

• CarTalk - Even if you don't have a drivers' license, "Click" and "Clack" will keep you in stitches as they attempt to help people with their car problems.

Now that you have seen the podcasts that I enjoy, take a few moments to "hop" over to the other writers who are doing the same thing:
