After more than 20 years of working in church ministry—mostly behind the scenes in production and with creative teams—I’ve picked up a few lessons along the way. In this episode my wife Emily and I sit down in our living room (after the kids went to bed) to talk through some of the biggest things I’ve learned about leadership, teamwork, and navigating the unique world of church work.

Whether you're on a church staff, part of a volunteer team, or just curious about what happens behind the scenes, we hope this casual conversation encourages and maybe even inspires you.

This is part one of a two-part series—thanks for listening!

In this episode, Adam Geesaman chats with Jeremiah Kleylein about how 717 Church came to life. They talk about the early days, the heart behind it all, and what makes 717 a different from the rest. It’s a real, honest conversation about faith, community, and stepping out to build something new. If you’ve ever wondered what 717 is all about, this is the perfect place to start.
