Podcasts were something my friends listened to. I was unfamiliar with the podcasts’ value, so rather than take the time to find out, I just wrote them off as “mini sermons” or “abbreviated lessons” on various topics that I didn’t think I was interested in.

Notice that the first paragraph was written in the past tense. In last week’s “Friday Favorites” post (which you may read later by clicking here), I told you how much we enjoy our Echo Dot (“Alexa”). Because my siblings and I gave the Echo Dot to our mom for Mother’s Day, each time I call her I try to give her new ideas on how to get the most from “Alexa’s” abilities.

Enter: podcasts. My mom’s vision issues prohibit her reading an actual hard copy of a book, so audio books, sermon recordings, music, etc., are a true blessing to her. Since Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth is one of her favorite Christian authors, I decided to see if Mom could listen to a podcast or one of Nancy’s radio programs via Alexa.

The Revive Our Hearts broadcasts are not only available to my mom and others; they are now a part of my morning routine! The listening options are nearly limitless, and you may find them by clicking here. The topics center on practical Christian living and Bible study, and I find myself eager to keep listening and learning via this method! I can listen while I wash dishes, prepare dinner, fold clothes, or while I sit with my feet propped up while I drink my morning coffee in the sun room.

Filling my mind with truths graciously and truthfully shared from God’s Word is always a favorite worth sharing—whether it’s Friday or not!
