Who are we?

from The Ministry Edge Podcast · host Keenly

We recorded a full season of a podcast about ministry health, leadership, and doing better ministry… and never actually told you who we are or why we're qualified to speak into any of it. That's a perception problem, and it's exactly the kind of thing we're going to be talking about this season.So before we go any further, Jason and Chad hit pause to introduce themselves, and their stories are about as different as they get.One grew up in a pastor's home, watching ministry up close from the inside. The other grew up outside the church entirely, spent years in college trying to disprove faith, and found his calling in the last place he expected. But both arrived at the same conviction: ministry deserves more than looking healthy. It needs to actually be healthy.In this episode, you'll hear:How two very different backgrounds shaped a shared passion for honest, effective ministryWhy Jason's upbringing gave him a unique lens for spotting the gap between how ministry looks and how it actually functionsHow Chad went from studying evolutionary biology to leading a youth ministry, and and how that outside-in journey shapes the way he sees and speaks into ministry todayWhat's driving Keenly and why "better ministry everywhere" means getting to the root, not just the surfaceIf you've ever wondered who's behind the mic and whether they get what you're actually dealing with, start here.Visit keenly.org to learn more or connect with the Keenly team.
