A podcast is a multimedia file made available over the Internet for download and playback on your computer, iPod, or any mp3 player. They are free, and once downloaded can be played anytime without an Internet connection. When you subscribe to a podcast, you can have episodes downloaded for you automatically by iTunes, Juice (formerly iPodder), or other "podcatching" software.

Walk in the Word actually has two websites. One is the general WEBSITE, where you can listen to the broadcast, read the Weekly Walk, etc. The second is the STORE, where you can purchase books, message series, etc.

This means that if you register for an account with the WEBSITE, you won't necessarily be registered for the STORE.

The login for the WEBSITE is http://www.walkintheword.com/login.aspx - use this login to daily download broadcast mp3s, make donations, etc.

The login for the STORE is http://store.walkintheword.com/SignIn.aspx - use this login to purchase products.

We hope to merge these two processes into one in the future. In the meantime, please be sure to make note of your two, separate login credentials.

iTunes is a program that manages, organizes and plays audio and video files. iTunes will "sync" your iPod, so that you can take your files with you to be played anytime, or it can play the files right on your computer without an iPod at all. iTunes is free to download from Apple by clicking here.

No, you can use any "podcatching" program. Another popular program called Juice (formerly iPodder) can be used in the same way with an iPod, Zune, or other portable digital media player. Juice is free to download by clicking here.

If you use iTunes: imply click on the iTunes button to subscribe to the podcast you want. After that, iTunes will automatically update with new episodes. You can play the episodes right on your computer, or connect to your iPod and iTunes will automatically download the episodes so you can take them with you to play anytime.

If you use Juice (formerly iPodder): Copy the URL for the podcast you want. In Juice, click on Tools > Add a Feed, and paste the URL in.

Sometimes our emails end up in Junk mail folders and/or appear as SPAM to various email system. Our store sends email from "orders@walkintheword.com". Please ensure that your SPAM and JUNK email settings permit this address thru.

The email may come any one of the following addresses,

   - orders@walkintheword.com
   - support@walkintheword.com
   - webmaster@walkintheword.com

Some ISP's (Internet Service Providers) have begun to block our mail system. If this is the case, you'll need to update your order with a new email address. Currently, the following ISP's are blocking our services: @centurtytel.com. We are working with the companies to get this resolved ASAP.

The latest SPAM software will block the weekly walk unless someone approves the message BEFOREHAND. For example:

   ----------------------------------------------------------------------

I apologize for this automatic reply to your email. To control spam, I now allow incoming messages only from senders I have approved beforehand.
If you would like to be added to my list of approved senders, please fill out the short request form (see link below). Once I approve you, I will receive your original message in my inbox. You do not need to resend your message. I apologize for this one-time inconvenience.
Click the link below to fill out the request:

   ----------------------------------------------------------------------

If your SPAM software does this, you will need to make sure and approve the weekly walk beforehand. Again, the weekly walk comes from orders@walkintheword.com. Please note, the email address `orders@walkintheword.com' is not monitored.

Many times the user will click on Open or the file will automatically save to a temporary file which plays in their media player. The problem is the file has never been saved.

Instead of clicking on the file, please "right click" on the download link, and select, "Save Target As". This will allow you to chose a location on your computer to save the file.

Please note that the website is a separate system from the online store. If you use both the website and the store, you will have two independent accounts.
