About Us

Several years ago, God placed a burden on Ed and Christy’s heart for executive leaders pastoring churches and missions’ organizations across the globe. Their hearts became heavy for spiritual leaders, as they understood the nuances and complexities of leading large organizations during unprecedented times. People look to their spiritual leaders for support and guidance, but who do those leaders have to help them navigate the rapidly changing landscape we all have found ourselves in? What safe spaces do leaders have to share their pressure points and problem solve solutions?

Short for Exodus 18, exo18 comes from a portion of scripture that provides leadership insights that are still relevant today. Moses’s father-in-law, Jethro, shared leadership principles with Moses that revolutionize his leadership. It often takes a trusted and experienced outsider to help us navigate hurdles in our organizations that have prevented desired growth. Out of Ed and Christy’s journey of pastoring for three decades and experiencing significant growth, success, pain, and heartache they were compelled to found exo18 to come alongside executive leaders in supportive ways. Their core values of health and growth are woven into all they do, which is a breath of fresh air to leaders and organizations fighting on the front lines as they spread the gospel of Christ.

Ed and Christy are passionate about balancing health and growth and thrive in helping other leaders do the same. They work with an incredible group of executive leaders on the exo18 team who have proven track records of their own. Let the exo18 team come alongside you and help you achieve all God has placed in your heart to do!
