The newest episode of the Simply Strategic Show is now available. This week, Tim and I talk ministry structure. It includes everything from the board of directors to elders to staff. Though hopefully you’ll find the show rich in content, the best part of this episode is our attempt to make a connection with Andy Stanley by dedicating this show to John Maxwell. This special tribute show includes a game of "Maxwell or Morgan" and an in depth interview with John Maxwell himself. If you’ve never listened to one of our podcasts, you’ll want to listen to this one. It could very well be my favorite one so far.

The newest episode of the Simply Strategic Show is now available. In last week’s episode, Tim and I talk about how we do employee development. Like everything at Granger, we even do training and conferences in teams. I also take the opportunity to celebrate my anniversary, and Tim and I share a few "Intimate Moments."

If you’re listening to the podcasts, I’d love to hear your suggestions on future topics that you’d like for us to cover. Post your suggestions.

The newest episode of the Simply Strategic Show is now available. In last week’s show, Tim and I talk about the Senior Management Team which is the pastoral leadership team at Granger. We also play a new game: "Psychoanalyze the Boss." And, we still have time to share a few "Intimate Moments." This is more fun than two pastors from Indiana should be allowed to have.

The newest episode of the Simply Strategic Show is now available. Some people think numbers are boring and don’t matter. Find out how Tim and I feel about numbers on this week’s show. We also introduce a new segment called "Accountant or Artist." As always, it’s lots of fun. Because of that, I’m counting on you to listen to this podcast.

The newest episode of the Simply Strategic Show is now available. Sorry, I’m a little late getting you the scoop on last week’s show. This is a big one. Tim and I get focused. We also share a big announcement involving Perry Noble. You’ll want to check out last week’s show.

The newest episode of the Simply Strategic Show is now available. It’s the Easter special. We cover it all, from cheerleaders to Columbus Day. We also walk through what it’s like around Granger during Easter weekend. Yes, the Easter bunny makes a visit as well.

The newest episode of the Simply Strategic Show is now available. In this show, Tim and I talk about our hiring practices at Granger Community Church. We also take a few intimate moments to discuss how in the world both of us ended up on staff at Granger. Most importantly, though, we celebrate my half-birthday! I’m 29 1/2…plus a year or two or more.

On our trip to and from Ohio this week, Emily and the kids caught up on the Simply Strategic Show podcasts. After playing several shows for them, I played the inaugural Catalyst Podcast featuring Andy Stanley for me. Honestly, I didn’t think the kids were listening. About midway through the Catalyst podcast, though, I heard a faint whisper from the rear seat. I overheard one of the kids lean over to Emily and say, "I like Dad’s podcast better." It was the quiet reflection of one small voice, but the magnitude of the statement reverberated through the walls of our minivan. At least in the mind of one nameless child, my podcast is better than Andy Stanley’s.

The newest episode of the Simply Strategic Show is now available. After returning from a week on hiatus, Tim and I attempt to do a very visual podcast using only audio. The main topic of this week’s show is the new video system we are using for weekend services. We, of course, also have some fun in this episode with another "Lightning Round." I’m sure one of these days I’ll win. One of these days…

We couldn’t swing a podcasting session this past week because of our roadtrip, so there’s no new episode of the Simply Strategic Show. Here’s the problem–I know this news is going to generate emotional reactions for hundreds of Simply Strategic Show fans all over the world including the two or three pastors left in Iowa. The difficulty with that situation is that I don’t do counseling. I’m the pastor of spreadsheets. I don’t know how to help you process your pain and sorrow. If you want, though, I can give you Tim’s email address or cell phone number and I’m sure he’d be more than willing to help you deal with your emotions. He likes that sort of stuff.
