Does being online help spiritual growth?

Maybe I preaching to the choir when I ask that question, but I want to know! What online technology has spurred spiritual growth in you?

Examples:

  • Podcasts
  • Bible on your phone
  • Challenging articles
  • Facebook links
  • Bible study resources
  • Twitter links from spiritual leaders

Are there any specific stories you can point to where the Lord used an online resources to grow you as a follower of Christ and as a spiritual leader?

You’ll hear about one of mine on Monday, when I post on the Campus Crusade for Christ, ReThink Blogference site.

Other LTI posts kinda like this one:

  1. Important Links this week!
  2. CCC Blogference
  3. Online Funding Inspiration

    Definitely podcasts. As a student involved with Cru on an unstaffed campus I was always looking for spiritual input as I was outputting a lot. During my final two years on campus I learned an insane amount and grew even more as I listened to Driscoll sermons & other podcasts from their womens ministry. Reading blogs like GirlTalk & Radical Womanhood were super helpful too. At the time, the weekly sermon at church & weekly meeting just wasn’t enough for how hungry I was to learn. I can’t imagine how I would have survived sans Internet resources!

    podcasts- about once a week
    blogs- daily
    online bible- during bball season on road trips (while coaching)
    twitter wisdom- daily

    the only thing that makes the “spiritual growth” a challenge is sifting through some of the meaningless posts and tweets (even if i enjoy them).

    and, i miss you ;)
