Reclaim Rest and Resilience in Ministry

We know how easy it is to prioritize the needs of others while neglecting your own spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being. Burnout is not inevitable, and ministry doesn’t have to come at the expense of your health. Through our tailored support, we’ll help you reconnect with God, rediscover your purpose, and equip your team to share the load effectively.

With trusted guides by your side, you’ll find refreshment and the clarity needed to lead with confidence.
Equipping Leaders for Everyday Disciple-Making: Expand your ministry’s reach by equipping your people to disciple others in the everyday moments of life. We offer practical, faith-based tools that empower your leaders to share their faith authentically, build meaningful relationships, and multiply their impact in your church and community.
Pastoral Coaching for Capacity and Balance: Feeling overwhelmed by the demands of leadership? Our pastoral coaches work alongside you to create strategies for balance and growth. Together, we’ll explore ways to empower your team, allowing you to focus on the aspects of ministry that align with your calling and strengths.
Whole-Person Care for Sustainable Ministry: Burnout affects every area of life, not just your ministry.

Hear from people we serve

“Before the equipping cohort, I was confused about what discipleship really meant. The content and community helped me see the simplicity of it—discipleship happens in relationships. Having a group to walk through it with me, provide accountability, and celebrate successes together was the most impactful part.”

Alyssa Tocci

“I reached out to Exponent Group because I was struggling in my spiritual journey and needed guidance. After six months with my spiritual director, it’s been a complete game-changer. We meet monthly to discuss my questions, explore spiritual practices, and pray together. My only regret is not starting sooner—it would have saved me so much time and energy. I highly recommend Exponent Group and their amazing spiritual directors!”

Mike Ruman

"I had never heard of spiritual direction until I was paired up with one as a missionary. It'd been such an impactful experience, I knew I needed to see one out after we returned from overseas. Meeting with my spiritual director once a month has provided some much needed space to simply be quiet and still before the Lord (as a mom of three, silence and stillness comes sparingly!). My spiritual director helps me by asking great questions to sit with the Lord and listen to His voice. I am so grateful.”

Rochelle Guffey

“Exponent Group makes it easy for people to 'get it.' They provided us with meaningful practices that shaped our people to become more effective in discipleship with others. EG brings credibility and coaching that has deeply formed our people in the ways of Jesus.”

Gordon Lewis

“Through the cohort, God gave me the team I had been praying for to support me in outreach. The material was unlike anything I’d experienced—natural, authentic, and focused on connecting people to God through personal experiences. It helped me share my faith in a more personal and meaningful way.”

Bonnie Merriam

“Exponent Group has a way of helping people 'become' disciple makers in a holistic way. Through spiritual direction, coaching and formation practices they have provided us simple ways to live as disciple makers everyday.”
