The Keenly Podcast
Most ministry leaders didn't get into this work because it was easy. They got into it because it mattered. But somewhere between the vision and the reality, things get complicated, and the questions get harder to answer.
The Keenly Podcast is built for that tension. Hosted by Chad and Jason, each episode dives into the questions ministry leaders are actually sitting with... about impact, growth, perception, and whether the story you're telling lines up with the mission you're living. These are the conversations happening in staff meetings, board rooms, and quiet moments of honest reflection across ministries everywhere, and this podcast is where they happen out loud.
Whether you're a pastor, a team leader, a creative, a volunteer, or a student exploring a calling to ministry, each episode is designed to give you perspective, designed to give you perspective, language, and tools for the moments that actually keep you up at night; whether that's a staffing decision, a shrinking congregation, or a mission that's drifted from where it started.

Healthy Growth
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Chad and Jason wrestle with a question many ministry leaders feel but rarely slow down to define: what does healthy growth actually look like? While churches often default to numbers to measure success, this conversation challenges the idea that growth is purely numeric. Instead, they explore how true health is found in alignment, life change, and shared clarity around what really matters. Through stories of transformation and honest reflection, they contrast business-style metrics with ministry fruit and invite leaders to rethink how they define health, resist comparison, and pursue growth that reflects real change in people’s lives.
