We like their post about how to listen to podcasts so much that we have appropriated their well thought out structure so that we can clearly communicate about the wonderful world of podcasting. (Thanks Tim and Angel!)
We grew up listening to terrestrial radio which ment we were at the mercy of the stations’s program director and their preferences for content. The reality of today is that we can choose the content we prefer through podcasts. Yet, two out of three people do not know how to access this freedom of choice!
If you are already one of our valued listeners you know how to listen to podcasts. Before you move on to another post, we need your help! Will you share this post with someone you know that would benefit from a simple guide to podcast listening?
Our Mission Path Podcast
Our Mission Path podcast is broadcast every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Monday we focus on a cultural insight from our missionary work in Ecuador. Wednesday’s podcast is always focused on a ministry story. Each Friday we share a short missions focused thought from our mission path book……which is currently being written……and shared for free!
Our Mission Path is always free!
We work hard to keep our episodes short, smart and sharable!
Each episode focuses on a specific aspect of our missionary service in Ecuador.
Esperanza Downing is the producer, the broadcast is usually voiced by Timothy Downing.

Start Listening
The episodes of Our Mission Path are not serial so you can start listening with any that strakes your fancy. Here are some suggestions to get started:
Here is a list of podcasts we enjoy. We tend to binge listen as we travel here in Ecuador.
Unobscured is a history deep dive with Aaron Mahnke. The first season was about the Salem witch trials and was excellent.
Missionary Talks with David Peach no longer produces new content but the 85 episode series demystify Missionaries as normal people trying to follow God’s will.
We sometimes agree sometimes disagree but Frank Viola always makes us think!
Imagine Thru The Bible with J. Vernon McGee with less southern accent and more caffeine, that is Levi Lusko. We love his verse by verse approach to Bible teaching.
For Adventure seekers and outdoor types our friends at Boldly Went are the best.
