Being Disciples is hosted on Podbean.com at https://beingdisciples.podbean.com/ with new episodes weekly. These episodes will be the jumping off point for discussions in some of the small groups formed here; perhaps others will go in a different direction concerning content for study. The study notes corresponding to the episodes can be found in the above link, Virtual Study Topics and Links.
We have established a video channel that will have a slides presentation with the voiceover of the podcast. This is for those who enjoy viewing something in addition to hearing it. Rumble.com/BeingDisciples Find the Patron Informational video here to learn more about this venture.
Each podcast episode will have the audio version, a video version, and study notes, so each person can select what works best for them. These can be used to study along with us, for an individual study or deeper look, or to lead a small group of your own. Everything here is for the benefit of the Body of Christ and is free for your use.
