Jason Rhode and I are excited to announce a new children’s ministry podcast that we are calling “Children’s Ministry Talk.” While still very much still in the formative stages, this podcast will be talkshow style in which we look forward to providing encouragement for children’s ministry leaders, by children’s ministry leaders, on all things children’s ministry.

So…how exactly will we accomplish this goal?  Well…we really want this podcast to be very much listener-driven and reallly be interactive. Every episode will be totally FREE and be filled with practical ideas, advice, and encouragement for anyone ministering to children. We want you….the listener…to contact us with questions or comments on anything related to children’s ministry. Also, we’d love any suggestions that you’d have for the “ultimate children’s ministry podcast.”

There are lots of convenient ways for you to contact us, all of which are posted at childrensministrytalk.com. 

We plan to regularly have guests join us on-air to discuss various children’s ministry topics. Who knows…maybe you’ll have opportunity to join us on the air!  More details are sure to come as we continue fleshing things out.  Right now, we’re planning for offering a new 15-20 minute episode every 2 weeks.

In the meantime, we want to hear from you!  Specifically, what questions do you have that you’d like us to talk about?  Is there a topic that has been addressed in one of the CMUO courses that you’d like us to expand upon?  Or, is there a situation that you are facing in your children’s ministry that you’d like some advice on how to address?  You name it…we want to hear from you on it.  We look forward to hearing from you, either via email, phone, etc.  Let your voice be heard and get in touch! Complete details for contacting us with your questions, comments, ideas, or suggestions are at childrensministrytalk.com.

You don’t need an iPod or any fancy device to enjoy podcasts. You can listen to them for free either online or on your computer. And, if you do happen to have a porable media player like an iPod, you can certainly also listen to podcasts wherever you want. The CMUO course “Advanced Web Communications” provides an opportunity to learn a lot more about podcasting and even the chance to learn how to create your own podcast. More details about this course and to sign-up are at http://www.cmuo.com/admissions&registration/coursedescriptions.htm

We look forward to receiving your emails and voice comments as well as bringing you the next episode soon. Also, consider helping us spread the word about this new podcast by sharing it with others. All the details for subscribing so you don’t miss a single episode are available at childrensministrytalk.com.
