Audio interviews and podcasts can be transformative and powerful ways to share Christian faith and encourage others to deepen their spiritual journey. This chapter explores the reasons to use audio interviews to share Christian faith, examples of Christian audio digital storytelling, and practical tips to create and share your own. Audio recordings can, in some ways, provide a more simple and straightforward way to both document and share Christian faith than some other media formats which are more complicated. Audio recordings can have a unique and powerful “texture and feel” which can not only be more straightforward to capture, but also transformative because they can be “first person history.” Whether you want to use audio to convey personal testimonies about faith in Jesus, preserve family history, or just inspire others in their respective faith journeys, audio recording offers tremendous power and possibilities.

A Priceless Family Artifact

To illustrate the profound value of audio recordings, I would like to share a personal story. Several years before the COVID-19 pandemic pushed our society into lock downs, visited my parents in Manhattan, Kansas, as they prepared to sell their house, downsize, and move into Meadowlark Hills, a local retirement community. In my parents’ basement, I found a reel-to-reel audio tape, recorded by my paternal grandmother, Lydia Fryer, on Christmas Day in 1972. This tape was sent as an audio letter to my father while we lived in Colorado Springs, when dad was teaching math at the Air Force Academy. This analog audio tape had remained in our family’s possession for decades, sitting on a shelf in mom and dad’s cool basement in northeast Kansas.

Recently, after searching extensively for a company that has a vintage reel-to-reel audio player to digitalize a recording like this, I found one in our local area, in Mint Hill, North Carolina.^[1] A few days and twenty-one dollars later, I finally had a mp3 audio version of a 23-minute recording, which was made on Christmas Day 1972, and features the voices of eight of our Wyoming relatives, four of whom are no longer living.^[2]

Listening to this recording, where my grandmother narrates the events of that Christmas morning and shares conversations with family members, was a deeply moving experience. It was especially poignant to share this recording over 50 years after it was recorded, at our “Fryer Family Reunion” in Perham, Minnesota, in June 2024, with my (almost) 84 year old father and his sister, my 96 year old Aunt. Since my Dad’s mom passed away in 1991 when I was still in college, I did not remember the sound of her voice. Later in the recording, her sister, who we knew as Aunt Mari, shared some details about the Christmas service they attended at their Presbyterian church in Powell, Wyoming, and other elements of their holiday festivities. This treasured audio letter illustrates the immense emotional and historical value such recordings can hold for family members. Recordings like this can help later generations of family learn about the faith of their ancestors and relatives, and serve as powerful touchstones to connect to and learn from others in the past.

History can literally come alive through audio interviews like this which preserve the voices and thoughts of our family members.

Why Audio Interviews?

Why should you consider recording audio interviews about your faith and God? Here are eight good reasons!

1. Faster and Easier: Compared to other media projects like edited videos, audio interviews can be MUCH faster and simpler to record, edit, and share. We are all busy people, and it’s easy to be intimidated by the time requirements of any multi-step project. Audio interviews can offer a faster workflow which can make them less intimidating to start and more realistic to complete amidst an already full personal calendar.
2. Less Intimidating: There are many barriers and challenges to sharing our faith with others, and many of these involve fear. Generally it’s more intimidating for someone to put a video camera (even a smartphone) “in your face” and record you speaking, than to put an AUDIO RECORDING DEVICE down on a table or on the couch as you sit with someone and are interviewed about your life. This fact can help interviewees feel less intimidated, safer, and more relaxed to “tell their story” and share openly, without fear.
3. Ease of Access: Smartphones and Internet connectivity have made our access to web-based media much easier and more ubiquitous. Audio files are smaller than video files because they include less data. With a “podcatching app” (see below) it’s possible to directly download audio interviews / files from different “podcast channels,” and also receive / download future episodes which the author publishes. Or, a simple hyperlink to an audio interview file can be shared via email, a text message, or other digital communication medium.
4. No Time Limits: “Traditional broadcast media” like radio and television have sharp limits to how long a segment or program can be. Often we hear a broadcaster say the following to an interviewee, “We just have a few minutes left, so can you please tell me…” You never have to say this in an audio interview unless you want to. Your audio interview can be over 3 hours long (as some faith story interviews the author has conducted have been) or very short. The length is up to you, and it is not CONSTRAINED by the medium. This is wonderful.
5. TL:DR: The acronym “TL;DR” stands for “Too Long, Didn’t Read.”^[3] Reading and writing remain very important in our culture, but we live in an “attention economy.”^[4] People increasingly enjoy consuming media content in visual formats, as videos and “photo story” audio recordings.^[5] Audio books and podcasts offer powerful options for people who are not able or choose not to read something, but are able / choose to listen to it. Similarly, audio interview recordings (shared as audio files or sometimes as video files including one or more synchronized photos, making a “photo story”) can be readily shared and enjoyed in our world filed with Internet-connected mobile devices.
6. Time and Place Shift: Audio interviews shared as “podcasts” offer audience members the opportunity to listen (or “consume”) audio content during the times and in the places of their choosing. In the car on a work commute, on a walk in the neighborhood, or anytime it’s possible to listen to audio on headphones or ear buds, it’s possible to listen to a podcast. Since pre-recorded podcasts are not (by definition) “live,” listeners are liberated in powerful ways from the limitations and requirements imposed by a “synchronous” media format like live radio or television. The portability and (comparatively) smaller file sizes of audio podcasts also mean people can listen when Internet connectivity is NOT available, and can readily continue a longer podcast, picking up right where they left off. This makes audio podcasts an “anytime” media format. Any time, any where: Listen to an audio podcast!
7. Depth of Storytelling: Again compared to the constraints of live radio programs or even many kinds of “more traditional” broadcast video formats, audio podcasting offers more possibilities. This can enable longer episodes or a series of episodes, permitting a series of shows that can offer much greater depth in storytelling.
8. Fun: Audio podcasting is fun! Since it’s easier in many ways than different forms of video production, as well as easier to share and access, creators can make audio podcasts faster and with less post-production requirements. This can help make audio podcasting more fun and spontaneous, which benefits both creators and members of a podcast audience!

Audio Interview Examples

As with other types of multimedia, one of the best ways to understand the comparative benefits as well as drawbacks of audio interviews is to listen to (or “consume”) some examples. There are many ways to categorize audio interviews, but one of the most basic relates to the amount of editing or “post-production” work a particular audio interview has before publishing and sharing.

Here are two “no-edit” audio interview examples, which include stories about faith and Christian beliefs. Both of these interviews are part of the “Stories of Faith” project, which I started as an ordained deacon serving at First Presbyterian Church of Edmond, Oklahoma.^[6] I worked with our one year “Youth Deacons” and enlisted their help interviewing different members of our church community about their journeys of faith and specific mission projects in which they had participated.

Oren Lee Peters Interview

Oren Lee Peters was a native of Edmond, Oklahoma, an active Boy Scout and Scouting volunteer his entire life, and a decorated soldier in the U.S. Army, serving in World War II in the European Theater. Oren Lee was born in 1921 and passed away at the age of 102 1/2 in October 2023.^[7] At the time of my interview with Oren Lee in April 2011, he was almost 90 years old and a senior member of our church family and our beloved Friday Morning Men’s Group. I recorded a four hour interview with Oren Lee about his life and shared it in two different segments: Part 1 (3 hours, 16 minutes) and Part 2 (43 minutes).^{[8] [9]}

Those interviews with Oren Lee were published online to a web host (which the author pays a monthly hosting fee to maintain) as compressed, MP3 audio files. The audio interviews were recorded using a portable digital audio recorder, and compressed “as is” without additional editing using free “Audacity” software. Free “Podcast Generator” software was used to publish the files online.^[10] To further amplify this special audio interview as well as insure it’s continued availability online (even if the monthly hosting fee is discontinued or the web hosting server goes offline for some reason) the interviewer also posted it to YouTube as a single, four hour and 1 minute recording.^[11]

Ella Mae Miller Interview

Another of my favorite interviews from that “Stories of Faith” series features Ella Mae Miller, who I interviewed in the fall of 2008 with help from Crystal Port McGee DePue. Ella Mae was also a native of Edmond, Oklahoma, and started dating her husband in high school, when she invited him to join her at their church youth group. Ella Mae and her husband were among the first Christian missionaries to serve in Iran in the early 1950s, in a mission outreach both focused on education and providing medical services. Her interview is available in three parts (part 1 – part 2 – part 3) on the “Stories of Faith” project website, and as a combined 81 minute recording shared on YouTube.^[12]

One of the wonderful, newer features of videos uploaded to YouTube (now including audio files saved as videos with a single image background, like this one) is the auto-creation of “Key Moments.” The image below shows the topics of different questions I asked Ella Mae during our interview, with the respective corresponding time-stamp. Examples include “What Does It Mean to You To Be a Christian? (6:23), When Were You Baptized? (12:15), “How has the Church Been Important to You in Your Life? (12:44), etc. These “chapter marks” make it easier to navigate to specific parts of a long interview, and is a result of the “auto-captioning” in YouTube which is enabled by default.^[13]

Sharing Sunday School Learning with Audio

In addition to personal interviews, audio recordings can be effectively used in educational settings like Sunday School class. In 2007, while serving as a fifth grade Sunday school teacher at First Presbyterian Church of Edmond, I recorded an audio project with my students. We discussed the question, “Who is Jesus?” and shared our reflections. This recording was later shared with the church leadership and played during the Christmas Eve service that year, during our early “family service.” ^[14]

This project, which was an “enhanced audio podcast” with accompanying images, provided a powerful and authentic way for students to engage with their faith and share their insights with a wider audience. The recording preserved the voices and thoughts of the young participants, creating a lasting testament to their spiritual journey at that time and providing a wonderful addition to our church-wide Christmas Eve service that year.

The Workflow and Process of Audio Interviews

Conducting an audio interview involves several steps, from planning and recording to editing and sharing. This workflow ensures that the final product is both professional and impactful. The “Four P’s” summarize this workflow well: 1- Plan, 2 – Produce (Record,) 3- Prune (Edit,) and 4- Publish (share.)

1. PLAN: Planning the Interview

The first step in conducting an audio interview is thorough planning. It’s essential to prepare a list of questions in advance. These questions should be open-ended to encourage detailed and meaningful responses. Closed-ended questions have a simple answer, like:

1. Where were you born?
2. Where did you and your spouse meet?
3. What is your favorite food?

It’s always possible to ask for elaboration, or more details, when an interviewer asks a closed-ended question. And it’s important to note that asking closed-ended questions isn’t “wrong,” either. Basic, simple questions can be good to use when starting an interview and developing rapport. However, open-ended questions generally lead to more interesting and longer answers from interviewees. In contrast to the closed-ended questions above, open-ended question examples could include:

1. What are some things you remember about your parents when you were growing up?
2. What is a favorite memory you have from your days in elementary, middle or high school?
3. Can you share a story with me about a favorite pet you have had, either as a child or an adult?

Follow up questions are ESSENTIAL and very important in an interview. In the author’s experience, many of the best stories / best parts of oral history interviews seem to always come later in an interview, with both parties are feeling more comfortable and at-ease. They also generally are shared after the interviewer uses some “active listening” strategies, paraphrasing what the interviewee has shared or asking a follow up question, like “Can you tell me more about that?”

It is impossible to predict with complete accuracy the topics an interviewee may want to discuss. However, by creating a list of questions in advance and sharing them, an interviewer can help set the mind of their interviewee at ease and also provide some time for them to think about answers they want to share to different questions.

When planning for an interview and selecting questions to ask, a”The Great Questions List” from StoryCorps can be a valuable resource. It is available in 3 formats:

1. As a single webpage (suitable for printing)
2. As an interactive webpage (allowing users to select the desired interview context: Grandparent, military veteran, etc.)
3. Within the StoryCorps mobile app (for iOS and Android)

Examples of questions from “The Great Questions List” in the “Religion” category include:

1. Can you tell me about your religious and spiritual beliefs?
2. How did you come to your faith?
3. Have you experienced any miracles or significant moments of divine intervention?
4. How have you experienced God or a higher power in your life?

Sharing these questions with the interviewee beforehand can help them feel more comfortable and prepared. If you want to specifically explore Christian beliefs and your interviewee’s relationship to and ideas about Jesus Christ, you might add questions like:

1. When do you remember learning about Jesus Christ in your life?
2. Who do you believe Jesus Christ was and is?
3. How would you describe your relationship to Jesus?
4. What are some examples of how your understanding of and faith in Jesus has been important in your life?

If you choose to use the free StoryCorps mobile app for recording your interview, keep in mind that you can also select and add questions for your interview right within the app. With this option, you can take screenshots of your questions and share those images (via text message or email) with your interview partner prior to your actual interview.

2. PRODUCE: Recording the Interview

Recording the interview requires a quiet environment to ensure high audio quality. Modern smartphones are equipped with excellent microphones, making them ideal for this purpose. Additionally, apps like Voice Record Pro and StoryCorps offer user-friendly interfaces and advanced features for audio recording. While the StoryCorps app is fantastic and more fully featured, it limits the length of audio recordings to 45 minutes, while Voice Record Pro does not have a time limit.

Voice Record Pro (available for both iOS / iPhone and Android) is the author’s favorite mobile app for audio recording, including conducting audio interviews. This five minute tutorial video highlights the steps and techniques for using Voice Record Pro to record on an iPhone.^[15]

It’s important to minimize background noise and interruptions. One way to achieve this is by placing the smartphone in airplane mode during the recording to prevent calls or notifications from disrupting the session. Ensuring that the interview location is quiet and free from loud fans or air conditioners also helps in capturing clear audio.

If you choose to use the free StoryCorps app to record your audio interview, you will be required to create a free account first.^[16] Then, you can either immediately start recording or you can use built-in features the app provides to plan for and setup your interview, including selecting appropriate questions to use. This two minute video provides an excellent overview of the features and how to use the StoryCorps app.^[17]

Another option for recording an audio interview is to use a battery operated or rechargeable portable audio recorder. These recorders are available from retail outlets like WalMart and Amazon, and can be purchased new for $40 or $50. Of course more expensive recorders are also available, which can produce even higher quality recordings, but a good quality audio recording can be obtained from a less expensive digital audio recorder just like a smartphone app.

Some portable digital audio recorders have a built-in USB plug, but many require a cable like a micro-USB cable. The process of connecting the digital recorder to a computer, finding the recorded file, transferring the file onto the computer’s hard drive / flash storage drive, and then editing it before sharing it (our next step) can be challenging and complicated, especially for novices. For these reasons, the author recommends using a smartphone app like Voice Record Pro or StoryCorps to record interviews if possible, because the “post-production” steps (editing and sharing) tend to be simpler and less complicated.

3. PRUNE: Editing the Audio

After recording, the next step can be EDITING (or in our 4 part acrostic, “pruning”) the audio file. Editing, however, is OPTIONAL. Editing involves trimming unnecessary parts, enhancing audio quality, and sometimes adding introductory or concluding remarks. Software like Audacity, which is free and open-source, includes simple yet powerful features for basic audio editing.^[18] While not required for a “no-edit” audio interview like some of the examples shared earlier in this chapter, audio editing can enable you to produce a more polished and professional-sounding interview.

Although elements of the Audacity software interface have changed slightly, most of the key tools and icons within the interface have remained consistent for years. This twenty-one minute video tutorial (recorded in 2021) highlights the steps for editing a multi-part audio podcast. This includes how to split and trim clips, how to add multiple audio clips to a project, and how to adjust volume levels.^[19]

The process of editing an audio interview / audio file can become complex and time consuming. Particularly when you are getting started with audio interviews, it can be helpful to skip the editing process and go with a “no edit audio interview,” as long as nothing embarrassing or dramatically problematic was recorded during the interview. As your comfort and experience level grows with recording audio interviews, you may want to give editing a try. Mobile applications are available which support audio editing, but it can be challenging to make multiple, precise edits to audio files on a mobile device.

As of this writing in summer 2024, mobile applications which not only support recording but also editing of recorded audio files include:

1. Voice Record Pro for iOS / iPhone or for Android (free)
2. Riverside (freemium but requires a subscription after initial use, available as a web-based platform, an iOS app and Android app)

The free “Spotify for Podcasters” mobile application and website (formerly “Anchor”) supported audio editing prior to the summer of 2024, but Spotify now recommends using Riverside for podcast editing. As mobile applications are constantly changing and updating, it’s a good idea to not only search the app store on your smartphone for “podcast editing” apps, but also check the “Audio Interview” page of the website, “Show with Media: What Do You Want to Create Today?”^[20] It’s best to ask experienced podcasters and mobile audio interviewers for their advice when it comes to mobile applications like this, rather than just try an app you find on an app store.

It can be very efficient to use an “all mobile workflow” for podcast / audio interview recording, editing and publishing. For an audio interview which demands a variety of edits and changes, however, using desktop software like Audacity on a large computer screen can save headaches and offer more flexibility for editing options. Deciding what solution is best for you requires balancing the “learning curve” demands of learning how to use a new mobile application or computer software program, with your own time constraints and patience levels.

“No edit audio interviews” and podcasts can therefore be a great way to go when it comes to oral history recording!

4. PUBLISH: Sharing the Interview

Once the audio interview is edited, it needs to be shared with the intended audience. There are various platforms for sharing audio content. YouTube is a popular choice due to its wide reach and accessibility, and has expanded its support for audio podcasts in recent months. Other options include podcast hosting services like Spotify for Podcasters (formerly Anchor,) which allow you to distribute your audio content as a podcast accessible by multiple apps / services.

In the opinion of this author, the best and most simple way to publish an audio interview is to use an app like StoryCorps which provides hosting FREE and with just a few clicks. StoryCorps provides a helpful tutorial, “How do I share my StoryCorps interview with family and friends?” which highlights all these steps in detail.^[21]

If you do not use a mobile app which provides built-in hosting and sharing of the final audio interview file / podcast file, you will need to UPLOAD your final file to a web host. This can be a web hosting company that you pay a monthly fee to (like the files hosted on the previously discussed “Stories of Faith” podcast project) or to a free media host like YouTube. Just because you upload an audio podcast to YouTube does not mean that everyone in the world has to have access to it. In many cases, making an audio podcast PUBLIC on YouTube is the best option, since it will allow others (including family and friends of the person who was interviewed) to search online and find the interview. However, privacy settings for YouTube videos can be made UNLISTED or PRIVATE, in addition to PUBLIC. An UNLISTED video can be accessed by anyone, but listeners / watchers must have the exact LINK to the YouTube video to listen to it.

Before uploading an audio interview to YouTube in a format like MP3, you will need to convert it into a video file. The mobile app Voice Record Pro (free) can perform this conversion. You will also need to have or create a Google Account and access or create a free YouTube channel. YouTube Support provides a thorough article on how to create a personal YouTube channel, and the steps which are required.^[22]

This eleven minute video tutorial highlights steps which can be used to share a recorded MP3 audio file as a VIDEO on YouTube.^[23]

When sharing audio interviews, it can be helpful to create an accompanying webpage or blog post that includes a brief description of the interview, the key topics discussed, and direct links to the audio files. It’s more visually pleasing if the media files are also EMBEDDED on the webpage, presenting a clear place for webpage visitors to tap or click to play the interview. This helps the audience to understand the context and access the content easily.

The following webpages, created by the author, include links to example oral history interviews with accompanying contextual information, hyperlinks, and embedded media:

1. Fryer – Henley – Ward – Lovell Family History – Oral History.^[24]
2. “Family Oral History.” Learning Signs. (Family learning blog of the Fryers)^[25]

Practical Tips

The act of pressing record on a smartphone application can be straightforward, but there are many other considerations to keep and mind and techniques to use when conducting an effective audio interview, about faith and spirituality or any other topic. While some tips for interview preparation and successful recording have already been mentioned in this chapter, the following section will highlight a longer list of practical tips and techniques to utilize for successful interviews.

Preparing for the Interview

Preparation is key to conducting a successful audio interview. Here are some essential steps to ensure you are well-prepared:

1. Research Your Interviewee: Understand the background, achievements, and context of your interviewee. This will help you ask informed and relevant questions.
2. Prepare Your Questions: Create a list of open-ended questions that encourage detailed responses. Refer to resources like “The Great Questions List” from StoryCorps for inspiration.
3. Share Questions in Advance: Providing your interviewee with the questions beforehand can help them prepare thoughtful answers and feel more comfortable during the interview.

Setting Up the Recording Environment

Creating a suitable recording environment is crucial for capturing clear and professional-quality audio. Here are some tips:

1. Choose a Quiet Location: Select a location with minimal background noise. Avoid areas with loud appliances, traffic noise, or echo-prone spaces.
2. Control Background Noise: Use soft furnishings like curtains, carpets, and cushions to absorb sound reflections and reduce echo.
3. Microphone Placement: Position the microphone close to the interviewee’s mouth, typically 6-12 inches away. Ensure the microphone is not obstructed by clothing or other objects.

Conducting the Interview

During the interview, focus on creating a comfortable and engaging atmosphere for your interviewee. Here are some best practices:

1. Build Rapport: Start with casual conversation to put your interviewee at ease. Building rapport helps create a more relaxed and open dialogue.
2. Listen Actively: Pay close attention to your interviewee’s responses. Show interest and ask follow-up questions to delve deeper into their stories.
3. Be Flexible: While it’s important to have prepared questions, be open to deviating from the script if interesting topics arise. Allow the conversation to flow naturally.

Ensuring High-Quality Recordings

To achieve high-quality audio recordings, consider the following tips:

1. Use Quality Equipment: Invest in a good quality microphone and recording device. External microphones often provide better sound quality than built-in smartphone mics.
2. Monitor Audio Levels: Use headphones to monitor audio levels during the recording. Ensure the levels are consistent and not peaking, which can cause distortion.
3. Record in WAV Format: Record your audio in WAV format for the highest quality. You can convert it to MP3 or other formats during the editing process.

Editing and Post-Production

Editing and post-production are essential steps in creating polished and professional audio content. Here are some key techniques:

1. Trim Unnecessary Parts: Remove long pauses, stumbles, and irrelevant tangents to create a more concise and engaging recording.
2. Enhance Audio Quality: Use noise reduction, equalization, and compression tools to improve the overall sound quality.
3. Add Music and Effects: Incorporate background music and sound effects to enhance the storytelling experience. Ensure these elements complement the spoken content.

Storytelling Techniques

Effective storytelling can make your audio content more compelling and memorable. Here are some techniques to consider:

1. Create a Narrative Arc: Structure your interview to have a clear beginning, middle, and end. This helps in maintaining the listener’s interest and providing a satisfying conclusion.
2. Use Descriptive Language: Encourage your interviewee to use descriptive language and vivid details to paint a picture for the listener.
3. Highlight Emotional Moments: Focus on moments of emotion and personal reflection. These elements can create a deeper connection with the audience.

Engaging with Your Audience

Building and maintaining an engaged audience is crucial for the success of your audio content. Here are some strategies:

1. Promote on Social Media: Share your audio content on social media platforms with engaging descriptions, hashtags, and visuals.
2. Encourage Feedback: Invite listeners to provide feedback and share their thoughts. Use this feedback to improve future content.
3. Create a Community: Foster a sense of community by engaging with your audience through comments, live sessions, and discussion forums.

Ethical Considerations in Audio Interviews

When conducting audio interviews, it is important to adhere to ethical standards. Here are some key considerations:

1. Obtain Consent: Always obtain informed consent from your interviewee before recording. Explain how the recording will be used and shared.
2. Respect Privacy: Be mindful of the interviewee’s privacy and avoid asking intrusive or sensitive questions without prior consent.
3. Credit and Acknowledge: Give proper credit to your interviewees and any contributors to your audio content.

Although it demonstrates the use of “higher end” (more expensive) audio recording equipment than the author has recommended in this chapter, this 2.5 minute video of “Interview Best Practices” from StoryCorps provides a nice summary of many tips to keep in mind as you prepare and conduct an audio interview.^[26]

The Future of Audio Interviews

As we look to the future, audio interviews will continue to play a vital role in storytelling and communication, including the sharing of our faith and Christian evangelism specifically. Advancements in technology, such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, will open new possibilities for creating immersive and interactive audio experiences.

Embracing AI Tools

Artificial intelligence tools are revolutionizing the field of audio content creation. AI can assist with transcribing interviews, generating summaries, and enhancing audio quality. Tools like Descript and Trint offer powerful capabilities that streamline the editing process and improve efficiency, as well as leveraging machine learning technologies for “speech to text” audio file transcription as well as editing.^[27]

While generative AI tools are certain to be misused to spread misinformation and propaganda, they also offer tremendous potential for constructive and positive content creation. As followers of Jesus Christ wanting to share His Gospel of good news with the world, these tools should be continually explored and leveraged (as appropriate) to streamline audio interview / podcast production workflows and extend the reach of these media files to a larger audience.

The potential of audio interviews and podcasts is immense. By embracing new technologies, innovative storytelling techniques, and ethical practices, we can create meaningful connections and preserve important stories for future generations. As we continue to explore and innovate in this space, we can ensure that the voices of our communities are heard and cherished for years to come.

Innovating with Purpose

Innovation should always be driven by purpose. As you explore new technologies and formats, ensure that they align with your mission and goals. Focus on creating content that resonates with your audience and fosters meaningful connections.

Your audio ministry has the potential to build a lasting legacy. By preserving stories and testimonies, you contribute to the rich tapestry of faith and community. This legacy will inspire future generations and ensure that the voices of your faith community are never forgotten.

The journey of audio content creation is ongoing. Stay curious, keep experimenting, and remain open to new ideas. Your dedication to this craft will continue to enrich your community and amplify the voices of those who have stories to tell, and specifically allow more people to hear about, understand and ultimately experience the transforming power of Jesus Christ and his unconditional love in their lives.
