Practical Ministry

Ministry Miscellany Podcast
A collection of tools, strategies, and challenges for Bible teachers.

A collection of tools, strategies, and challenges for Bible teachers. The Ministry Miscellany Podcast goes along with this content.

I praise God that, though a few detours have taken place, the primary activities of my life have been teaching the Bible, involvement with my church, and Christian ministries. I am incredibly, humbly, and joyfully grateful for the life and many, many ministry experiences the Lord has given me, and though I hope the Lord gives me many more years to serve Him (my grandmother taught Sunday School class into her 90s), I have already been at this long enough that I have some suggestions that might be helpful, some ministry advice that might be encouraging, and some resources that I've found helpful.

I feel the Lord wants me to pass them on. They are humbly offered with no claim of expertise or guarantee of success. Most is offered for free--only my personally authored books have a cost. Also, the Bible805 ministry takes no advertising, nor do I participate in any affiliate marketing schemes where I would get paid for promoting something. There are no hidden agendas for anything I tell you about.

This is a new section for the Bible805 ministry, and the Ministry Miscellany Podcast goes along with it.

I'll post the availability of new material here and on the podcast on the Lion's Voice, the Bible805 Ministry newsletter.

All about A.I. and how YOU can make a difference in how it responds

2026-03-21 by bible805

A.I. is not a dark force to be afraid of, it is a tool and like any other tool, it can be used to help or to hurt.

But it is very different in one way that is incredibly important for anyone in ministry and that is for you to understand that YOU can make a difference, a BIG difference to the content served up by A.I on the web.

Please bear with me for a few minutes while I explain this because if you understand what I’m saying and will encourage you to do, it can make a huge difference in the lives of untold multitudes around the world now and into the future.
I am not exaggerating.

Here’s why–following is the podcast and then the rest of the text that goes along with it.

The essential importance of icebreaker questions, from the Ministry Miscellany Podcast

2026-03-20 by bible805

Icebreaker questions are those questions we ask at the beginning of studies to get people talking. Some ministry leaders consider them a waste of time and want to jump right into a study or lesson, but from decades of ministry, I think they are essential. Following is the podcast of this content and below that, the text.

Here’s why and some ways to use them.
