The Connected Kingdom Podcast: A Great Tool for Short Devotional Listening

Many people I know try to supplement their devotional life (or, as providential circumstance may have it, preserve their devotional life) by listening to solid sermons during the day.  This can be a great habit to get into, although there is at least one practical challenge.  If the sermons you are listening to are of the Reformed variety, your average audio file is going to be clocking in somewhere from 45-60 minutes in length.  Even if you are listening while folding laundry or wrenching on the car, good luck going that long without interruption. 

I'd like to point out a resource I've been benefiting from recently- the Connected Kingdom podcast.  CK is co-hosted by Tim Challies and David Murray, and until recently it has been produced in a fairly straight forward interview/Q and A/discussion format.  However, the first two episodes produced in the new season they have launched have been ten to fifteen minute monologues- perfect for devotional listening.  I have found them to be very listenable and spiritually rich.  I've embedded the first two episodes below.  If you find them helpful, check out either Tim or David's blog for new installments.

An Exhortation for the New Year

Pastor Greg Nichols recently delivered this chapel message for Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids.  Although it is specifically an exhortation to seminary students, anyone entering the new year seeking to profit from a deeper interaction with God's word will find it stirring and encouraging.  I especially appreciated the illustration regarding the sponge and the duck.
