Hey Glenn, if you have a PC running Windows either WMP or iTunes (which you have to install) will automatically play the audio. To find it click on “Start” then “Programs” and “Windows Media Player.”

So I have been blog stalking you all today since I found your blog, and I will have to say this class is awesome! I think a lot of leaders in the church believe that everyone in the pews know theology, practicum, exegesis, and contextualization, which honestly is not the case. I love that as a leader you are empowering people within the body as you should instead of controlling all aspects of the ministry you oversee. Cheers!

Thanks Keith! I’m enjoying the class and I think the students are too. I’m not sure what many/most leaders think people know; seems like we don’t think they need to know how to handle the Word or aren’t able to… Anyhoo, I just want people to help me out so I don’t have to preach and teach the same day! (ok, that’s not my only motivation, but it def got me more serious about developing the curriculum as soon as I did).
