Blog, Podcast, Study Guide or What?!?

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." -- 2 Corinthians 9:8

Ok everyone, I have a question that needs an answer from you!

I really want to extend the Generations Rising movement. Right now, we have this Blog, which I have just really started up good this month and a Facebook site, which does little right now. Plus, we do the Sunday School class at church and host events every week on Sunday nights. This works great for the summer.

However, we school starts back, our class will be split. Some go back to college. Some stay in town. And, some come most weeks, but have a week here and there that they are out because of work.

To keep the community thriving and on the same page, I want to base the blog, the Sunday morning class, and our events around something that is uniform to everyone. I am thinking about a podcast.

A podcast is simple to understand. Basically, it is just an audio track that I will record a voice message on you and you can listen to it.

With an I-Pod

If you have an I-pod, you go into I-tune, search "Generations Rising", and subscribe to the podcast. The podcasts download to your I-pod everytime you plug the I-pod into your computer for charging or sync-ing. And, it is totally free.

Without an I-Pod

If you DO NOT have an i-pod, you would just go to a certain website, and click on the link for the podcast. It will open on your computer and you can listen to it there.

Without a Computer

If you DO NOT have a computer with internet, I can record the podcast to a CD and give it to you as well.

So, if we did a podcast, I would prepare our weekly lesson ahead of time. I would record it in a podcast and post it online, in I-tunes, and have a cd ready if someone needed it. Then, we would discuss it in class on Sunday morning or those away could email/blog about it. Everyone would be on the same page. We could even do announcements, prayer requests, etc on these too.

But, I don't know if the podcast idea is the way to go or not. I could develop a written study guide that would cover a month of lessons. That way, everyone could get a written copy from me or I could email it to you at college. And then, you would have my lesson and study notes.

There may be something totally better than all this too. I don't know. I need your help. You know what will work for you. Tell me what you prefer. I am open to any and all ideas.

Just respond to this post or tell me in person.

Remember:

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." -- 2 Corinthians 9:8

Thanks!
