As a salesman I spend a lot of time in my truck driving from customer to customer. When I am not on the phone I would like to be learning. A few years ago when the Lord opened my eyes to the reformed faith I made a huge learning jump by burning up my iPod in the car and anywhere else it was appropriate. I would like to do this again. I am desiring the best education I can give myself by listening (for free I hope or atleast inexpensive). My first priority is to listen to the best reformed "audio seminary for the layman" as possible. Any ideas? I am also intrested in history, philosophy, apolegitics, logic, etc... from a reformed perspective. What would yall do if you were trying to build an audio university for yourself. Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated.

Blev3rd,

Reformed Theological Seminary and Covenant Theological Seminary have full courses on iTunesU. These run the gambit from Church History to Apologetics to Biblical Studies. The ones i've listened to are very accessible to the layperson.

Hope This Helps

Thanks Chris I will look into these.

Your pastor has a great series on Reformation History on sermonaudio. But I'm sure that you know that already...

That could get expensive! Please don't burn any more. Give them to me, I'll make good use of them.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

I developed this habit about 8-9 yrs ago commuting to Columbus (an hrs drive) and my list of sources has grown but I like these.

Also try the MacLaurin Institute and the Trinity Foundation for Mp3.

The Reformed Forum is very good Reformed Forum; it focuses on theological subjects, much like the White Horse Inn, but on a higher level (that is, many of the subjects are more erudite).

There are many good ideas listed above. Let me link to a few of them...

I found these free mp3 on GPTS website.

I also found this link that our associate pastor recommended.

Third Millennium Ministries

I know I am a bit late. But in the church I am visiting right now several of the pastors are scholars as well. They have several courses online on the Friday night Acadamy lectures which are highly accessible to lay people.

Academy lectures include:

-Amillennialism
-Church History
-Apologetics

“No…we are all priests. Your vocation and your contentment in your vocation should not be dependent upon your being in vocational ministry or in being a figure of public acclaim. If God wills that fine…if He does not do that, you ought to still do what he has granted you to do to the glory of God.”

-Martin Luther

Thanks for all the replies. Maybe this BUMP will stimulate some thought from those who have not chimed in.

Philosophy related stuff can be found from respectable scholars (though not all are Reformed) at The Veritas Forum

Good apologetics use, even if their theology may not be perfect.

Here is a good website for apologetics material, though like Veritas Forum, it's not all underpinned by correct theology.

Probably not as scholarly as the previously mentioned suggestions, but Oneplace has several excellent pastors/teachers/ministries available. There are of course some ministries that are best avoided but I am sure you can discern quality teachers. Some teachers you can find include Piper, MacArthur, Ravenhill, Sproul, Lloyd-Jones, Begg, Spurgeon, & The White Horse Inn. And best of all their MP3s are all free!

Does anyone know anything about this site Our recent classes | BiblicalTraining.org

I came across them on Monergism.

The LAMP program is a PCA approved method for training ministers.

I think there is a difference between LAMP on BiblicalTraining.org and LAMP Seminary, which is approved for training prospective PCA elders. I may be incorrect, however.

I will have to check that out. Thanks for posting.

I always put the week's White Horse Inn on my Palm Pilot and go for a bike ride every Monday. A little more of the practical side of things... And if you start getting familiar with some of the preachers on SermonAudio, you'll find that in no time, you've got 10 that you HAVE TO HEAR every week.
