Missed church? Download the godcast

Kyle Lewis missed church one Sunday last month. But the 25-year-old did not miss the sermon.

Lewis, who regularly attends services of the National Community Church in Alexandria, Va., later listened to the sermon while he was at the gym, through a recording he had downloaded to his iPod. Instead of listening to the rock music his gym usually plays, he heard his pastor's voice.

"Having an iPod is a guaranteed way to get the sermon if you're going to be out of town," Lewis said, adding that he listens to the pastor's podcast at least once more during the week, usually while driving to work, even during weeks he makes it to services.

Lewis's pastor, the Rev. Mark Batterson, started podcasting, or "godcasting" as he prefers to call it, last month to spread the word about his congregation. The hour-long recordings of his weekly service, available on Theaterchurch.com, have already brought new parishioners to his church, he said.

I'm not going to enter the subject about this right now here but my views on religion are... Not the same as most people (go in the religious political debate (Jesus Loves You) and see what I answer).

Seriously, though, I'm almost ashamed
