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, that sounds so stilted and I don't want it to be that.

The content in this podcast is basically me talking to you, giving you advise I've found to be helpful in bringing people to Jesus and helping them grow to Christian maturity.

Though all are based on the Bible, they are about ministry in general, and many them are related to holidays because that is one of the best times and ways to get people involved in ministry.

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, lots of disciple-making and group building all around God's Word. 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.

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.
