3 Quick Announcements

While we try to deliver quality content to you each day, every so often we need to take a post to simply share some updates and announcements. Today, we want to share three quick announcements with you that we think will be of interest.

1. Removal of Ads

When our site relaunched about 6 weeks ago, you may have noticed that, on the right-hand sidebar there were a couple of advertising boxes. These help us offset the costs of our site, but very little.

So, sometime today, we are removing them.

We are doing that for two reasons. First, they are distracting. While we tried to keep the boxes fairly small, they are still ads, and we don’t like the way they look. So, to make the site look a little cleaner, down they go.

Also, we are taking them down because they make very little money. There are still ways you can support the site, though. Simply visit our store. If you shop on Amazon at all, click through our site to Amazon and we will earn a small percentage of what you spend there, and it won’t cost you anything extra. It doesn’t even have to be any of our books or products! You just shop on Amazon the way you always do, and it helps our site.

2. Return of iPreach

For about 5 years, I helped co-host a podcast for preachers called iPreach. The program, cohosted by Dale Jenkins, was a big success, with about 400-500 listeners to each program. When deciding to focus more on this site, though, I left iPreach, and prayed Dale would keep it going.

He has, and the program is now back up and running. Dale and his brother, Jeff Jenkins, are cohosting now, and are off to a great start! I’m glad to see the podcast back, and plan to listen to each episode they produce. If you are interested in hearing their work, go here.

3. Ready for the Podcast?

Speaking of podcasts, we are now just about 3 weeks away from the launch of A Legacy of Faith’s podcast! Leah and I are continuing to work on the “front end” of things, and we should start recording episodes this week, to start being released in August. The first program should be released on Thursday, August 7, and you’ll be able to find it on iTunes soon thereafter. If you would like more information, as well as a list of what we have planned for our first 10 episodes, visit this page.

So, there you have it. Three quick announcements. Tomorrow, we’ll get back to our regular posts. Thanks for all your support of A Legacy of Faith!
