I’m looking for five churches who want to radically change their staff and team culture in the next 30 days. Every church has a culture—and that culture is shaped by beliefs and behaviors, whether you’ve named them or not. The challenge is this:when you’re inside the culture every day, it’s incredibly hard to see what’s actually shaping it. You need outside perspective and the right tools to identify the beliefs and behaviors that are really driving your culture—both the healthy ones and the harmful ones. Once those are clear, the work becomes rebuilding trust and creating a healthier culture on purpose.That requires knowing which specific beliefs and behaviors actually build trust—and which ones quietly erode it. So, I’m opening up five spots for churches that want to intentionally transform their staff and team culture over the next 30 days. If that’s you, DM me and we’ll schedule a call to talk about reserving a Church Culture Sprint.

👋🏼 Hey there, I’m Evan. I’m the coach of The Alignment Lab. I spent 18 years in full-time pastoral ministry and over 20 years at the same church prior to my own major life transition. I’m also the host of The In-Between podcast — where I chat about transition with guests such as Suzanne Stabile, Andy Squyres, Kathryn Maack, Tyler Reagin, Kristi Gaultiere, Michael Shahan, and more. After 18 years in pastoral ministry — and over 20 years at the same church — I stepped away. It wasn’t just a career change. It was an unraveling of a life I had built. I’ve successfully walked through: 👉 Vocational upheaval and change. 👉 The grief of relational loss. 👉 The deep identity questions that come when the role you built your life closes. I’ve also experienced what’s on the other side: 👉 Rebuilding trust in myself and in God’s ongoing work in my life. 👉 Recognizing my strengths and skills still matter, even outside the context I once relied on. 👉 A new season that’s aligned with calling and meaning, instead of the roles and expectations I thought I had to live up to. That’s why I created this community. So you don’t just grit your teeth and get through this season — but allow it to become the space that shapes you, realigns you, and sets you up to flourish on the other side. Oh yeah, I'm into collecting arrowheads, a gym rat, and writing content, lots of it. What about you??

It took me 20 years of pastoring to realize this: A lot of what we call faithfulness is actually insecurity in disguise. It looks like: – never saying no – carrying everything yourself – being “needed” everywhere And it slowly trains people and teams to wait for you to make decisions instead of being empowered to act and grow. Where are you still carrying things that someone else could be learning to carry? 👇 I’d love to hear what this stirred up.

I'll see you at 4:30 pm EST...
