Bible Podcasts are Becoming Widely Popular
Inspiring Bible podcasts and free audio Bible downloads are quickly becoming one of the most popular and easy ways to incorporate the Bible into your every day life. While many people have probably never thought about or tried to download an online audio Bible, there are many websites available to help you and all you need is access to a personal computer with internet service to do it.
Depending on whether you would like to listen to the Bible directly from your PC’s media player or would like to download a free audio Bible online for your iPod, there are many file formats you can choose from. Some websites offer the full MP3 audio Bible, which is a compressed file format that can fit the entire Old and New Testament onto two to four CD-ROM discs. Some free audio bible downloads online can also be burned on regular CDs, and some are created so you can save them onto your computer and then upload them onto your iPod or MP3 player. This is how the Bible podcasts work and you can upload a new one to your player every day.
If you decided that your iPod is the best place for all of your audio Bible downloads then you can practically take the Bible with you anywhere. You can listen to it while your drinking your coffee in the morning or listen to it on the way to work. You can take your iPod to the gym and listen to the scriptures while you are working out, or play a few readings when you are taking your lunch break. These technologies really help you bring the Bible into your life in more ways than ever before.
MP3 Bibles and audio kid’s Bibles are also helping share the Word of God with children who can’t yet read and illiterate villagers in underdeveloped countries who do not have the opportunity to hear the scriptures any other way. Many Christian volunteers will travel to remote parts of the world and bring along audio players so they can host listening groups for hundreds of people at one time. What is wonderful about these programs is that the listeners can often follow along in a printed version, which can help learn how to read at the same time. If this sounds like a great way for you to become involved in spreading the Good News, you can donate an MP3 audio Bible or player to an organization that focuses on this type of work or you can donate your time or money to help them.
Susan Slobac first learned about Bible podcasts from her church’s Bible study group. She began listening to MP3 bible readings during her daily routine and found it to be a great supplement to her studies in addition to a powerful tool for refocusing her energy throughout the day. She is working with her church to implement audio bible downloads into the Sunday school curriculum to provide an engaging kids bible format to the program.
