Did you earn an A in Pastor Math Class? Ok, so that's not be a real seminary course, but every pastor we meet knows the material. Whether you lean towards measuring everything, or eschewing numbers in favor of stories, there is one number you simply cannot ignore -- and it's probably not what you think.

In the weeds. That's where many senior pastors live. It's not usually a pride issue -- more a question of role clarity. In this episode of The Unstuck Church Podcast, Amy Anderson and I discuss the three roles only the senior pastor can do for a church, and why you should give yourself permission to delegate everything else.

According to recent research, 4 out of 5 people aren't regularly listening to a podcast. Personally, I have found podcasts to be a valuable tool.

So, I wanted to provide a basic rundown of what podcasts are and hopefully answer some questions you may have.
