Coach & Speaker

Rooted in Jesus.
Curious about
everything else.

I coach and speak at the intersection of Jesus, curiosity, and z'llenial culture — creating space for people to ask real questions and stay close to Jesus instead of feeling like they need all the answers.

How We Work Together

Two ways in.
One foundation: Jesus.

1:1 Coaching

Whether you're navigating a season of change, wrestling with what Jesus is asking of you, or trying to figure out what you actually want — coaching is a space to slow down, get honest, and move forward with clarity.

What I Talk About

Topics that land.

01

Jesus & Belonging

What it looks like to actually follow Jesus in real life — through doubt, deconstruction, and the long way home.

02

Youth & Next Gen

What the next generation actually needs — and how parents, leaders, and communities can show up for them well.

03

Z'llenials & Culture

Millennials and Gen Z are asking real questions about faith. How to create space for those questions instead of shutting them down.

04

Staying Curious

Why curiosity is a spiritual discipline — and how choosing wonder over certainty draws us closer to God.

About Erin

Built for this
kind of work.

I'm a coach and speaker with over 20 years in ministry and youth culture. I've spent my career with millennials and Gen Z — z'llenials — sitting with their real questions about Jesus, identity, and belonging. I'm convinced the world needs fewer people with all the answers and more people who stay genuinely curious.

My whole life I've felt a call to see people — from every generation — back at the table with Jesus, staying curious instead of walking away. That passion is what led me and one of my dearest friends to start Come.Union.

The Heart Behind Everything

A community
built around the table.

Out of a lifelong call to see creation back at the table with Jesus, one of my dearest friends and I started Come.Union — an online and in-person community creating space for z'llenials (and anyone else) to ask their real questions and stay curious about Jesus, instead of feeling like they have to have it all figured out.

We've spent 3 seasons having those honest conversations on our podcast — available wherever you listen or watch. But the podcast was always just one chair at a bigger table. The community is the thing. And everyone is welcome at it, no matter what generation you're from.
