Because you spend so much time each week preparing your sermon, I want to encourage you to get the message out to a wider audience. It’s easy to take the audio from your sermon each week to create a podcast that can be downloaded and listened to on any device at any time.

Basic Steps

1 – Download It – you can download the audio from your livestream video, save the audio directly from your camera, or save it directly to an SD card or thumb drive on your soundboard

2 – Trim It – you can use free programs like Audacity or GarageBand, or you can use advanced programs like Studio One, Protools, and Logic. If you have the time, adding an audio intro is a great way to introduce the message and welcome your listeners.

3 – Master It – this is optional, but it really helps make the audio sound better. You can add eq, compression, noise reduction, and set your levels to ensure a great listening experience

4 – Export It – save it as an mp3 file

5 – Upload It – pick your podcast service and upload your audio

I recommend and use Anchor, which I think is the easiest and best way to get your podcast online. And it’s free!

And finally, don’t forget to visit OnlineMinistryMadeSimple.com – It’s a great resource with blog content, online courses, and more to help simplify online ministry.
