In this very first episode of the Keenly Podcast, we’re keeping it real. Chad Murrell and Jason Lehman sit down to talk about the heart behind Keenly and why we decided to step into the podcast space in the first place.
It’s our first episode, which means there are a few glitches, plenty of learning along the way, and a lot of genuine conversation. But at the core is a simple desire: to help pastors and ministry leaders understand what’s happening, define a meaningful path forward, tell a compelling story, and ultimately do better ministry.
This conversation sets the tone for what’s ahead. Thanks for joining us at the beginning.
We know what it's like to have a nostalgic moment and be taken back to a memory years ago. The emotion of that memory has a powerful effect on us. While there are a lot of good things about nostalgia, it can influence how a ministry makes decisions if we are not careful.
We've all been there. We are in a moment to share what we do or what our ministry is about and we find ourselves feeling unprepared. The E3 approach is a simple way to structure a presentation into 3 steps that are easy to remember.
We all see things a different way. That unique point of view can be a help or a barrier to good communication in your ministry.
Hear from Jason Lehman on his ministry journey, observations about ministry challenges and hopes for Ministry Edge and the tools and resources planned in the coming season.

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…
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.
