Introduce Yourself! Why did you join the Alignment Lab?
👋🏼 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??
