Episode #4 of the Simply Strategic Show is now available. This episode includes a candid discussion regarding the weekend series that were offered at Granger in 2005–both what worked great and what crashed hard. Tim and Tony also try a new spin with the "Intimate Moments" segment launching "Two Truths and a Lie." The Simply Strategic Show is available on iTunes.

I don’t know if it’s the cool English accent opening the show or the snazzy new graphic on iTunes, but the Simply Strategic Show has already climbed to the #27 top subscribed podcast on iTunes in the religion and spirituality category. That’s not a bad launch, but there are plenty of bad-boy, preacher/teacher dudes like Max Lucado and Chuck Swindoll and Erwin McManus in front of us in the rankings that need to feel the heat from a couple of strategy wonks.

Tim actually let the cat out of the bag while I was on vacation, but it’s true–we have launched a podcast. You can check out the first three episodes of the Simply Strategic Show. If you use iTunes (and I don’t know why you wouldn’t), you can subscribe here. My favorite parts of the shows are the "lightning rounds" and the "intimate moments." I also really like to listen to the English chick talk. I’m thinking about sending Emily to England for a couple of years to see if she can pick up that accent.

Oh, yeah, we also talk about ministry stuff in the podcasts. Let me know what you think.
