Church podcasting is really no longer just an option – about half of all Protestant churches of over 250 members are podcasting, because it does all of the following:
• Gets you on the Internet, even if you don’t have a website • Puts the warm, human voice of the pastor into many ears • Reaches many additional people with the Word • Allows churchgoers to revisit each message again and again • Maintains communication with members who can’t get to church • Identifies your church as forward-thinking and tech-savvy • Helps to build a larger congregation • Allows people to “test-drive” your church • Invites feedback from listeners • Helps your church avoid being perceived as “behind-the-times”
