Logos Sermons makes it easy to share sermons via an embed code, a podcast feed, or a WordPress plugin.
To begin, log in to sermons.logos.com, and click My sermons.
Find the sermon you want to share, select it to navigate to the sermon’s landing page, and click Share.
A sharing menu displays, providing four sharing methods: Share, Embed, Podcast, WordPress.
Share Directly
You can share your sermon on social media, in an email, or with a direct link. A preview of the shared sermon displays below.
Share by Embed
If you use a website solution other than WordPress, Logos Sermons provides a generic Embed code you can use on your site. Before you copy the code, configure it to your needs. A preview displays below so you can see how the embed will appear on your site.
To make it mobile-friendly, select Make responsive (dynamically scale iframe).
When you’re happy with your configuration, copy the code to use on your website. If you want to embed auto-updating code that will include newly added sermons, click the box next to Auto-update when new content is published.
Share by Podcast
Logos Sermons auto-generates a working RSS feed which you can subscribe to in any podcast player. Select the Podcast tab and copy the link.
To test your podcast link, paste your podcast link into your player of choice. Play your audio to confirm everything sounds right.
Note: The appropriate software must be installed on your computer.
If you want your podcast to be publicly available, you’ll need to submit it to popular podcast directories. You may want to add a podcast image before sharing your RSS link. You can do this by clicking your username followed by Podcast Settings.
Fill in the details and click the Save button. Most podcast directories ask for a contact email as part of the feed to display to users. You can supply this right beside your podcast's cover image.
Apple Podcasts is currently one of the most popular podcast directories. Most podcast players will allow users to subscribe to any podcasts found in the Apple directory. This means anyone will be able to search for your content in most podcast players and subscribe to your podcast.
You can submit a podcast through Podcasts Connect. You can learn about submitting your podcast to Apple from their Podcasts Connect guide.
You may also want to submit your podcast to other popular directories. You can find specific help below:
