Pastors and builders, side by side
Good Company equips and supports pastors to stay in the game. We form the business men in their churches into men of character and resource, then bring them together to help lead and finance what God is doing in their local church. Rooted in Christ. Built one coffee and one mile at a time.
Why Good Company exists
Good pastors are burning out alone. Meanwhile the men in their pews who have built businesses and led teams are often too stretched or too disengaged to bring that to the church, even when their pastor asks. We bring them together.
For pastors
A room of pastors who understand the weight, and friends outside the church who help you think clearly about where it is going.
For business leaders
Men who have built something get sharpened by other men who have too, then take that back to their families and their local church.
Together
Faithful men with the character and the resources to back their pastor and their local church. Iron sharpening iron.
For Pastors
I spent almost seven years in ministry leadership. I know what it is to pour out every Sunday and go home with nobody asking how you are actually doing.
Good Company hosts free events for pastors. Each one is a facilitated conversation with other pastors who get it, so you leave sharpened instead of just poured out.
I also hear the same thing from a lot of pastors. They are surrounded by faithful people, but few who have led something at scale and can help them think strategically about the church. Many of those men are already in your pews. At the end of each event I ask one thing: who in your church would benefit from a room like this?
If a pastor sent you here
A pastor you trust thought you would get something out of Good Company. That means something. Here is how it works.
The Path
Every man starts with a one on one coffee. From there you may be invited into the community and our monthly meet ups. The deeper rooms are for the men who keep showing up.
A one on one coffee near you. I want to hear about you, your family, and what you are building, and tell you what Good Company is.
After coffee, you may be invited to join the men of Good Company.
Five men who work on their lives together, inside the larger Good Company mastermind, with a Good Company coach for every man.
Good Company Cohorts
A cohort is five men who work on their lives together. You are also part of the larger Good Company mastermind, so you are never in a small room alone.
A Zoom with the wider Good Company mastermind. Content from Ed, Good Company leaders, or a guest speaker, and a room of men to think out loud with.
Private sessions with a Good Company coach to work on the collision between work, marriage, health, finances, and church.
One local day, 6 to 8 hours, once a month for cohort members. Mix things up, get outside, get some work done, and share good food. Where we go changes with the weather: a short hike, the river with a fly rod, or a day in the woods.
All the cohorts together in one room, sometimes with a guest speaker, going deep on your life and your business.
Good Company Adventures
Type 2 fun, community, and Jesus. Coaching conversations, physical challenges, rucking on forest roads, and firearms training, all in the woods above Greenwater. An executive chef cooks for the whole camp, so the food is as good as the company. We hold three or four a year, from spring through early fall, and they are open to any man looking for an experience like this.

Who's behind this
I live in Enumclaw with my wife and son. I coach leaders and teams through Axios Coaching, and before that I spent almost seven years leading in ministry.
I started Good Company because I kept seeing the same two things. Good pastors leaving ministry because they carried it alone, and capable Christian business men in the pews who are overwhelmed or disengaged, even when their pastor asks them to step up. I believe God put both in the same church on purpose. My job is to get them in the same room.
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17
