As of January 1, 2006, Brother Tim's sermons are online in the MP3 format. In addition, they are available via a Podcast. For an explanation of Podcasting, you can find a definition here. This page will guide you through the steps of successfully setting up your computer to download the sermons automatically to your computer every week. This guide will show you how to set up using iTunes, but there are certainly several other Podcast consuming applications available.

 

Connecting to the Podcast

For iTunes users, you can click here for the iTunes music store URL.

For advanced users of other programs, the Podcast feed URL is http://podcast.fbcbryan.org/feed.xml.

Customize your iTunes

The whole idea of using iTunes and Podcasting is so that iTunes will automatically download the sermon when it becomes available. If you leave iTunes running most of the time, it can do this in the background for you. Or you can start it up occasionally and it will check for you.

Press the icon to bring up the Podcasting preferences. You can choose how often you want to check for updates, what to do when new sermons are available, and which ones to keep. The recommended settings can be seen in the image below.

If you have an iPod, you can change the iPod preferences as well. You can choose to have the FBC Podcast sync with your iPod so that you can listen to Brother Tim on the go!

Listening to the Podcast

To listen to the sermon, simply double click the name of it or click the icon at the top left of the window.
