5 Minutes with a Missionary

“5 Minutes with a Missionary” is the podcast of LCMS International Mission. It’s a window into missionary life. As our missionaries talk about their experiences, savor the uniqueness of the places in which God has called them to serve — while finding common ground with your own role and service. Each episode features an unfiltered take on life abroad for the sake of the Gospel in the time it takes to pick up your drive-thru order or empty the dishwasher. It’s fun. It’s personal. It’s real. And it’s always an adventure.

Together we’ll explore life, health and family issues in a way that honors our heavenly Father’s value of human life, serves our neighbor, shares the faith and connects us to others who are doing the same. Join us, so that together we can be friends for life.

What is a Podcast?

Podcasting makes an audio file, typically an MP3 file, available online for downloading via an automatic “feed.” You can then hear the podcast whenever you want from your computer or a portable media player.

How do I listen to podcasts?

The first thing you need is podcast subscription software. Your options include the latest version of Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or TuneIn, to manage your podcast subscriptions. At this point, you will already be able to listen to podcast audio from your mobile device (or computer, provided it has a sound card and can play MP3 audio files).

RSS Feeds

Use RSS Feeds to add programs to your third-party podcasting app or include feeds on your website or other RSS reader. Find all RSS feeds for KFUO Programs on the Current Programming page.
