Evi’s Blog
I was 23 years old when I wrote down my personal mission statement. This has guided me ever since, though of course there has been some adaptation and tuning.
You can find some inspiration on these topics in my blog posts but also in the various teaching sessions I have done on “The art of pain in leadership”, event management, leadership etc.
A historical day for me
Today after 7 months of writing (and sacrificing weekends etc.) my first ever book manuscript has been sent off to the publisher (German publishing house SCM) to be edited. It has been a great and inspiring but also a challenging journey being confronted with my own...
After the pandemic – business as usual?
The temptation in Europe after post-Covid-19 is to do business as usual. At least then, we know what to expect. The old is familiar and feels safe. However, will this help our youth work and churches as we restart ministry after Covid-19, as Europe is slowly surfacing...
Writing a book – an interesting process!
In November 2020, a Christian publisher asked me if I do not want to write a book. Well, it was more like, you should write a book. “It is time to jump again from the 3m diving board, Evi!” was the challenge given. Really? Since 2017, I was seriously thinking about it...
Had such a fantastic launch of my organisation “LeadNow”
I am so incredibly grateful for such an inspiring, wonderful and heart warming time on 19th April 2021. Nearly 70 leaders joined the online launch of my new organisation "LeadNow". Most of them I consider friends and people I love working with. They represent global...
Leading myself through challenging times
Sometimes you do stuff and your mood feels like a self-fulfilling prophecy, right? Last week I had the joy of being invited to twice teach on the topic on how to lead yourself through challenging times for a church in Northern Germany and one for youth leaders in the...
When an 8-year old contributes to LeadNow
It was my birthday in February but due to Covid-19 and lockdown I had several surprises over a whole month. Last week, my sister came around with her wonderful kids who I dearly love. (I have to say, I love all of my 14 nieces and nephews 🙂 ) They had created some...
Let’s GO
RUN the RACE!
… and never give up!
Running the race and finishing well in leadership is a challenge. The Apostle Paul encourages young Timothy in the Bible (2 Tim 2:4) writing, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” To finish the race, we need other people to cheer us on and walk the often painful journey of leadership with us. Some statistics say that more than 60% of leaders are no longer in leadership by the time they retire. This is not a great statistic! The biggest breaking point for leaders seems to occur between the age of 35-45 years old. I love to help leaders last in this. I have experienced my own share of pain in leadership and therefore understand some of the challenges, also as a woman in leadership.
Join me on this journey of running the race well! There are times I am limping more than I am running but together we can make it.
theologian
I love the Word of God and learning how to apply this to my own life as well as seeking ways to apply this to our society, culture, events etc. I am not a theoretical person, so theology always needs to work for me. Right now I am in the process of doing my PhD in theology, dept. Missiology (analyzing event impact on spirituality)
event manager
I love events and seeing them bear long-lasting outcomes. I am involved in various events run by other organisations and also head up some with my own team. I also train other event organisers across Europe and the globe in a year round mentoring program.
Mentor
Journeying with people through life and seeing them discover and fulfill their God-given potential gives me much joy.

Loving People
What gets me out of bed?
I love people. People give me energy. People let me fly. People are who I want to invest into.
I am particularly passionate about young people. Young people, their leaders, and also younger leaders. People who are still discovering who they are and what their purpose in life is. People who dream wild dreams and go after them. People who dare to step out in faith and have courage where others would rather stay at home.
With my own organization Lead Now e.V. and the various other Christian youth organisations and church networks I am involved with, I invest most of my time into encouraging, equipping and connecting younger leaders and youth leaders. I have a special focus on Europe (also having done my MA with a focus on European Mission) but also work globally. There is nothing more thrilling for me than doing this – and it does get me out of bed every morning!
encouraging
I love to encourage and see other people fly.
equipping
Through resources equipping people in their walk of life and leadership.
Investing
Where possible go deep with people and explore their calling.

I am so grateful for the various opportunities I have had and have to write some articles, contribute to some blog sites, and share some of my own stories of success and failure. Here you will find some of my writings:
Warum sind Events für junge Menschen so wichtig?
Events haben seit Kindheit einen großen Einfluss auf meinen Glauben gehabt. An Events habe ich Entscheidungen für Gott getroffen, die bis heute gehalten haben. Deshalb liebe ich Events und organisiere sie gerne mit. Unter anderem das Christival für Mai 2022. Für...
Passionate about building community
How to build community in Covid-19 times? Looking back at 2020 and how the world has been dramatically affected by COVID-19, there is one word I will take into 2021 and it is “community”. In many positive ways, community has stepped in and helped people affected by...
Wie gelingt ein erfolgreicher Leiterwechsel?

Die kleine Kanzel: Gemeinsam den Lauf vollenden
Wurde von IDEA angefragt, die regelmäßig erscheinende kurze Andacht, die sogenannte "Kleine Kanzel" für die Woche 41 zu schreiben. (Nr. 41, 7. Oktober 2020). Da ich gerade frisch die Brockenwanderung hinter mir hatte und das Erreichen des Zieles für mich sehr...

Artikel: Wer bestimmt meinen Wert?
Mein Englischlehrer sagte zu meiner Mutter: "Die Zwillinge sind zu dumm. Sie gehören auf eine Sonderschule." Was wäre passiert, wenn meine Eltern ihm geglaubt hätten? Und was ist passiert, als meine Eltern unseren Wert nicht von ihm haben definieren und begrenzen...

I love Poppies
Well, I guess you must have assumed so
as they shine bright and red on my website. 🙂
If I would have to choose my favourite flower,
poppies would be in the top category.
Why?
Because they always grow best in a team
and love to collaborate with corn flowers and wheat.
You can see their colour from afar and insects are attracted to them.
Next to shining bright and lighten the mood,
they also are into multiplication
and their seeds can be used for various purposes.
