Here I will post the links to my audio lessons as well as list where I gave them. I hereby give you permission to use these in your churches so long you give proper credit to me as the speaker. Not that I want “credit” such as man’s approval and a pat on the back, but I am interested in keeping my name attached to these so that perhaps people will hear me speak and invite me to come to their church to teach. Have Bible, Will Travel.

Hey James,
I’m not sure what happened or if I’m just an idiot but the link above didn’t work to subscribe via iTunes. When I try and subscribe it takes me to the iTunes store but nothing else happens and it doesn’t show up in my Podcasts view.
I’m on iTunes 9.0.1.8 if it matters.

Question. At the very begining of you speech on Akiva, you tell the story of Akiva wandering into a Roman garrison where the centurion asks him “who are you and what are you doing here?” I have not been able to locate this story in the Mishnayoth of Talmud. You say you inherited it from Ray VanderLaan? Can you cite this for me? Todah!
I have never been able to locate this story. The next time I see Ray, I’ll ask him for his source.
Peace,
James
Shalom James,
I just fond your site and I’m loving it. Thanks for all your work.
Can I download your lessons to listen away from my computer? How do I do that?
Thanks so much,
Lynne
Lynne,
To download the audio files, right-click on the links and choose “Save link as” or “Save target as” or something like that. Then save them to your computer at a location of your choosing. From there you can either burn them onto a CD or transfer them onto an MP3 player.
Peace,
James
I have just discovered your website, and I really like your articles. However, when I try to access your audio lessons, they don’t work. I can get the handouts to download, but I get an error message on all the “Listen Now” buttons. Can you help?
Thanks,
Billy
Billy,
I was linking to where my church had put them up online, but I guess they took them down. I do have copies of the audio, so I can put them back up. However, I’m not at home right now. I’ll e-mail you in a couple of weeks when I have them back up.
Peace,
James
Thank you,
Blessings, Billy
I’m was having trouble finding the audio as well then realized that the church had just moved the files. I was able to find the new links here: http://www.prestoncrest.org/media/connections/
looking forward to hearing the lessons!
