Heidelberg Project | TheResurgence
This is a great idea! 3 minutes a week of the Heidelberg Catechism.
I wonder if anyone has done this with the Westminster Confession or the LBCF.

I Knew There Was One I Forgot!
Justin Taylor had posted this at the beginning of the month, & I forgot to include it in my previous audio update.
Only two days left.
Life of David Brainerd - Free Audio download from ChristianAudio.com.
David Brainerd was a missionary to the Indians in America, and was someone who inspired the likes of Jonathan Edwards.
You'll have to sign up at the website, and it's about 9 parts, but ChristianAudio gives away a new freebie each month, so it would be worth the hassle.

Audio Extravaganza
The great debate between believer and atheist is available for free. Well almost.
The debate between Greg Bahnsen and atheist Gordon Stein is available from Covenant Media Foundation for two cents. Considering that people these days are more likely to walk past two pennies in the parking lot than pick them up, sounds like free to me. HT: Pulpit Live (via a link from James White ).
For the more secularly inclined, the BBC has also expanded its podcast offerings immensely. Lots o' good stuff to choose from.

Free Audio - Children Desiring God Conference Audio
The folks at Desiring God have made the audio from their 2005 and 2007 Children Desiring God Conferences available for free download. Looks like there are also handouts from select sessions available.
Our church uses curriculum produced by them, and we (as parents) have been extremely pleased by its godly emphasis.

Emerging Audio
Although this expands a comment I made on this Pyro post, I actually started writing my post last week. Curse my slowness!
The Al Mohler radio program had a first-hand example of the Emerging Church mentality about "truth." Guest host Dr. Russell Moore had Tony Jones on there, and they had a little "conversation."
I'll let you listen for yourself and form an opinion, but here are a couple of impressions.
1) A half-hour broadcast isn't the best forum to tease out what an Emerging person believes.
This isn't intended to be a slam, just a fact. You don't want to ask me to pray at mealtime if you want a quick prayer, and you won't get a quick, straightforward answer from an Emerging person.
2) On a related note, there was a point where I felt like Dr. Moore was trying a bit too hard to create fireworks. In retrospect, that may just be his trying to pin Mr. Jones down, but there was a moment where I felt more like I was listening to conservative talk radio than Al Mohler. I don't like it when someone tap dances around a question (or in this case tap dances and then calls it an answer), but I'm equally annoyed when the interviewer puts words in the interviewee's mouth simply to make his point.
In retrospect, as I said, the time factor was working against him, and I think he was just trying to cut to the heart of the issue, but at times it seemed like he pushed a bit.
3) I was suprised at how quick Tony Jones was to distance himself from Mark Driscoll. It was as if he was saying that Pastor Driscoll's Reformed understanding of the Scripture was incompatible with the movement.
4) The notion of "local truth" I confess left me scratching my head. The whole idea of "it's true for me" makes my skin crawl anyway; the problem I see with the Emergent "truth seekers" is that they can't seem to distinguish between things that are cultural and things that are universal truth. That, and I get the feeling they would question any well-accepted truth simply because it was well-accepted. When he was talking about the Council of Nicaea and his notion of "Platonic truth," I couldn't help but think about an extensive, nuanced discussion between Emergent folks about whether 1 + 1 = 2.
In the end, I find myself (not suprisingly) agreeing with many others who have given this thumbnail sketch of Emerging: their diagnosis of the Evangelical Church is right on, but their prescription is horribly flawed. If there was any doubt about whether liberalism and post-modernism could co-exist, I think it has been put to rest.
I hope to revisit this discussion as I progress further in reading The Truth War.

MLB Gameday Audio
Probably the best bargain out there amongst sports audio.
You get a year's worth of live Major League Baseball games. Every game is available with your choice of the home or away radio station's announcers (plus alternate audio for teams like the Diamondbacks who also broadcast in Spanish). If that wasn't enough, you can also listen to past games in the archive.
A whole year is just $15. MLB.com has other subscription choices as well, but if you like listening to baseball, this is a no-brainer.
Update: in case anyone cares, it looks like the internet broadcast is approximately 45 seconds behind the radio broadcast. Also, as best I can tell, not only can you access 2007 game archives, but 2006 as well.
Note to the NBA: you need to start doing this! I'd love to listen to Al McCoy broadcast the Phoenix Suns games. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is a fan of the broadcasters as well as the teams.
