Do you think Rick Warren listens to the Simply Strategic Show?

SsshowI think it would be pretty cool if Rick Warren has the Simply Strategic Show on his iPod. But, even if he doesn’t, I’m at least glad that he took a moment to point others to the show. Check it out. Our podcast is one of the recommended links in this week’s Ministry ToolBox on Pastors.com.

That’s a good thing. Now more pastors may check out the show. And, more importantly, baptist pastors won’t feel guilty when they’re listening in. It’s OK. Rick said so.
