Scare Andy and save 20%

on October 26th, 2010

There are a few things we really like to do around the Simply office.

1. Going out to eat
2. Making fun of Nadim for working in the dark
3. Scaring Andy

The list could go on, but #3 hits on the one that brings us the most joy.  The funny thing is no matter how good we get him, there’s always something that scares him more, a 20% sale.  So what better time of year that to give him the biggest scare possible.  Help us by using the promo code: SCAREANDY when you check out to save 20% off your order.

Also check out the awesome deals we have on some of our books.  Some are marked down as much as 50% — then take another 20% off of that.  That definitely falls in the treat category.

Doug is super excited this week, and Josh, Matt and Katie are trying to figure out why. Turns out its all about the 00 hall of fame taking shape on the wall.

on October 18th, 2010

Back again. Doug, Josh, Matt, and Katie begin the show discussing Josh’s theatrical side and the dueling blogs (Morethandodgeball.com and LoveGodLoveStudents.com). Doug also introduces the first members of the 00 club and if someone can be a “recycled podcast virgin”, plus a brand new intro song. Don’t worry, they still get to your questions and talk about: calendars and scheduling, writing things down, starting with a clean program slate, why matt is cold, guidelines for meeting alone with students, having kids from juvenile hall in your ministry, and the Simply Youth Ministry Conference.
