The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel ran a story yesterday entitled, “Godcasts Booming Across The Internet” which details the growth of podcasts for religious purposes.
Godcasts, religious and spiritually themed podcasts, have been fruitful and multiplied, becoming the most popular use of the new online technology since it debuted less than a year ago. Searches for “Godcast” and “pod preachers” increased 355 percent in just one month this spring, according to the Internet search engine Lycos, on par with searches for the super model Naomi Campbell and the television show “ER.”
It makes for interesting reading and got me thinking a bit about what, if anything, I might want to do along these lines.
I believe that the internet provides today's church with a historic opportunity .... to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love in ways which could only have been imagined in times past. The objective of this website is to explore the various ways in which today's technology can be used to spread the gospel around the world.
