ipod Food For Pastors

It's incredible that, for free, you can download the last 20 years of Desiring God Pastors Conferences. Right now I'm using my ipod, mainly during my commute and my trail runs, to work my way through these excellent conferences. It takes me 1-2 weeks per conference, 1-2 weeks to work my way through the 7 messages that each conference consists of.These last two weeks I listened to the 2000 Pastors Conference, Courage in Christian Ministry. Al Mohler's 3 keynote addresses were nourishing. Ben Patterson's message was interesting and deeply inspiring. Josef Tson's message was humbling, convicting, and challenging. John Piper's biographical message on John Paton, which I'd listened to previously, was stirring. And the Q&A/Panel Discussion was equipping.I decide which conference to listen to based on my curiosity and excitement. Because of some recent events and some questions stirring inside, tomorrow I'm going to begin listening to the 2003 Pastors Conference, Good Fences, Bad Fences, and the Glory of Christ.If you're a pastor, I'd encourage you to consider adopting a plan to work your way through these conferences. If you're not a pastor, you're likely to still find these conferences edifying and interesting.
