Podcast and Ebook Performance Report


Section 1 Podcast Info:


The year-to-date figures you've presented to the board members and advisors showcase a solid foundation for your digital outreach, with 9,200 downloads, a strong 16,100 listeners, and a core audience beginning to build a community, as evidenced by 91 New Followers and 103 Interactions. While you rightly note that some areas are stronger than others, the total listener count, which far exceeds the downloads, suggests that your content is highly engaging and is being circulated and consumed across various channels, which is a fantastic indicator of organic growth and reach. These metrics confirm that the podcast and ebook strategies are successfully translating your mission and content into genuine audience engagement.


The Importance of Podcasting for Your Organization and Audience Growth


Podcasting is an exceptionally vital tool for your organization, acting as a direct, intimate, and accessible pipeline to both existing supporters and new audiences worldwide. For mission-driven entities like yours, podcasts are one of the most powerful and cost-effective ways to connect with people on a deeper, more personal level through authentic storytelling, which builds trust and credibility. With 75% of podcast listeners using them to learn new information or educate themselves, your faith-based, personal growth, and relationship-focused content is perfectly aligned with the audience’s primary motivation for tuning in. Podcasting allows you to amplify your mission by delivering educational and inspirational content that listeners can consume while multitasking—whether driving, working out, or running errands—making personal growth convenient and easy to integrate into their busy lives.


The listener statistics represent the massive and growing platform available to you. The global podcast audience has seen a substantial increase, with the number of listeners worldwide rising to approximately 546.7 million in 2024 and estimated to reach 584.1 million in 2025. In the U.S. alone, the number of monthly podcast listeners is estimated to be around 158 million in 2025. By leveraging the top platforms in the U.S.—which include YouTube (the most preferred, often due to its video aspect), Spotify, and Apple Podcasts—you can maximize your visibility in front of this immense audience.


Podcasts are also crucial in driving your audience's personal growth journey. Self-development podcasts empower individuals by providing strategies and support for improving well-being, enhancing communication skills, building discipline, and developing resilience. Your content becomes a valuable resource, offering practical tools and motivation from a faith-based perspective to help people overcome life's challenges, form better habits, and unlock their highest potential. By consistently delivering valuable and mission-driven content, the podcast nurtures a sense of community, encourages positive change, and establishes your organization as a trusted source of thought leadership in Christian life, leadership, and family development.


Spotlight on Top-Performing Podcast Content


The two top-performing podcast episodes of the month highlight the audience's strong interest in both personal efficiency and discipline, as well as core family relationships, demonstrating a balanced need for both spiritual and practical life guidance.


1. Catchy and Inspirational Title: Kissing Your Frogs: Tackle That Ugly Task Before Coffee


A Good Quote Underneath: "The only way to get rid of a task is to do it. Discipline is not a punishment, but a path to freedom." - Chaplain David


This popular episode, "Kissing Your Frogs: Tackle That Ugly Task Before Coffee," resonates powerfully with listeners by addressing one of the most common obstacles to productivity and spiritual discipline: procrastination. The concept, drawn from the "Eat the Frog" hack, is brilliantly adapted to your mission by framing the tackling of complex tasks as a "spiritual discipline of diligence" and a "first act of worship." The episode provides highly actionable and memorable advice for conquering a to-do list, which directly translates into real-world personal growth for the listener. It offers a clear blueprint for establishing a more efficient and purposeful routine, connecting secular productivity principles (like Parkinson's Law) with a faith-based mandate for diligence. This blend of practical life strategies with biblical wisdom makes the content highly valuable, helping listeners not only clear their schedules but also cultivate a character trait (diligence) essential for all aspects of their growth journey.

2. Catchy and Inspirational Title: Level Up Your Marriage: Discover the 7 Husband Archetypes


A Good Quote Underneath: "Growth in marriage is not about being perfect; it is about learning and living the perfect love of Christ for your wife." - Chaplain David


The second top-performing episode, "Level Up Your Marriage: Discover the 7 Husband Archetypes," taps into the deep, foundational need for strengthening family relationships. By offering an accessible framework of "7 Husband Archetypes," the episode provides men with concrete tools for self-assessment and practical guidance for enhancing their marriages. This is critical content for fostering long-term stability and growth in the community, as strong families are the cornerstone of a strong society. The episode masterfully guides listeners to move past simple advice toward profound character development, specifically challenging them to grow in "Christ-Like Character." By encouraging listeners to engage in a humble and proactive conversation with their wives to "Identify Your Strengths, Overcome Your Weaknesses," this content promotes vulnerability, improved communication, and intentional relational growth. This demonstrates a clear tie between personal spiritual development and the practical application of faith in the most important human relationship. The high performance of this episode confirms that deep, meaningful content focused on marriage and family is a critical component of your audience's personal and spiritual growth journey. This episode was temporarily delayed due to an audio issue; however, it will be released soon.


Conclusion and Forward-Looking Strategy


The year-to-date report is a robust validation of our mission and content strategy. With 16,100 listeners and 9,200 downloads, it’s clear that our message is resonating deeply and spreading organically. This gap between listeners and downloads is a healthy sign that our content is being shared successfully across platforms. The popularity of episodes like "Kissing Your Frogs" (focused on discipline) and "Level Up Your Marriage" (focused on relational growth) confirms that our audience is hungry for the unique blend of spiritual wisdom and actionable life skills we provide. Our challenge now is to intentionally convert this large, engaged audience into a committed community of followers and supporters.


Our Strategic Plan for Exponential Growth


Moving forward, our efforts must focus on maximizing our presence on the top U.S. platforms and deepening our audience's commitment to our ministry.


We must Maximize Platform Reach by prioritizing video content, especially for YouTube, which is now the preferred channel for many listeners, as well as Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Every episode should be leveraged into compelling short video clips for social media discovery. These visual snippets are our best tool for capturing the attention of new listeners and getting them into our full episodes.


To Deepen Community Engagement, we need to transition our podcast from a one-way broadcast to a two-way dialogue. This starts with implementing clearer, value-driven Calls-to-Action (CTAs) in every episode. We shouldn't just ask for ratings; we must invite listeners to download a specific, valuable resource (like a checklist or guide) tied to that episode’s lesson in exchange for joining our email list. This strategy is crucial for establishing a direct relationship that fosters long-term loyalty and support.


Finally, to ensure Diligent Stewardship of our resources, we will systematize the process of repurposing every episode. This means converting the audio into a search-engine-optimized transcript/blog post and creating shareable quote graphics for all our social channels. This comprehensive approach ensures that every piece of content works efficiently to both spread our mission and convert listeners into lifelong, active supporters, enabling the organization to grow with purpose.

Ebook Production Update & Future Strategy ✍️🚀


Executive Summary: August was a month of steady progress and strategic preparation. While we saw a slowdown in website traffic, this appears to be linked to audience anticipation for our biggest content launch yet: the "Growth Journey Mini-Series." Our year-to-date engagement remains strong, with a total of 25,144 page visits. We also had just under 104 ebook downloads this month.


Exciting news—our first major ebook is now available on Amazon! My first manuscript, The Soul's Refresh: Your 365-Day Prayer Guide, is 407 pages and available in Kindle and paperback formats.


I have another manuscript, a hefty 400+ pages, completed and waiting to be edited for ebook formatting. The title is FWS Icon: Fun Without Screens, A Year of Screen-Free Adventures for Kids & Parents, another strategic 365-day ebook concept that leverages the proven success of the daily guidance format. I'll explain more about that when the time is right, but for now, I’m focused on a few smaller ebooks.


Two of our smaller titles are nearly ready; I just want to review them one last time, make any final adjustments, and, most importantly, pray over them. They are called:


  1. "A Fire in Your Bones: No Vote. No Committee. Just God's Voice." 🔥 Have you ever felt a fire in your bones for something more—a holy discontent whispering that the status quo isn't enough? In a world run by committees, consensus, and popular opinion, it's easy to believe significant change requires a crowd. But what if history's most crucial turning points were never put to a vote? This is the story of the "One Man Calling"—a divine assignment that bypasses human systems and is ignited directly by God's voice, without needing anyone's approval. It’s the ancient path of Moses, Jeremiah, and Paul, but it’s still walked today. This book will explore how this powerful calling works, how to recognize it in your own life, and why one person’s obedience is still God’s chosen method for shaking the nations.

  2. "From Wedding Day to Every Day: 7 Rings of Marriage & The Love & Laughter Diet." 💍 I plan to add more sections to this one, so it should be ready soon. Both just need a little more love, attention, and prayer.


I currently have 15 completed manuscripts; they’re in "podcast mode" at the moment. I want to step back and wait for the Holy Spirit to lead before releasing them—that’s all.


The main goal is to make the "Growth Journey Mini-Series" our primary strategic effort to re-engage our audience and reach new readers.


Project Update: "Growth Journey" Mini-Series Launch 📘✨


We are in the final stages of production for our new multi-volume ebook collection. This series is designed as a blueprint for a life of purpose and faith. I’ve already honored the people who signed up for the free ebook; so far, we’ve given out 72 copies, and all inmates will receive their paperback versions over the next few weeks.


I will officially become a full-fledged ebook author soon, and I plan to update the ebook store to reflect the new titles on Amazon. Next month, I will explain the analytical reasons behind our content strategy approach and provide the statistics to support it.
