RunFree.Co delivers a strategic season of executive coaching, ministry design and visionary planning to church teams called the "Pivvot Process"

It's time to stop the chase for church attenders in "program church" and to run free into what Jesus started. Based on the celebrated methodologies of "Vision Framing," RunFree.Co is my next venture. It's all about activating the real disciple-making potential of the local church.

Ready to Pivvot?

Run Free's Digital Advancement Collective led by Jay Kranda is a game-changing opportunity for forward-thinking church leaders.

Jay Kranda isn't just another online personality—he's a seasoned veteran in the world of digital ministry. As the Online Community Pastor at Saddleback Church, Jay oversees a global network of online and home groups. His recent book, "Online Church Is Not the Answer: Beyond Streaming Church To Hybrid Disciple Making," challenges churches to think beyond simple streaming and embrace a holistic approach to digital discipleship.

About Will

Would you like to fall in love with ministry again?

I want you and your ministry to experience the benefits of stunning, God-given clarity. As a pastor turned vision coach, I’ve worked with an unprecedented variety of churches from growing mega-churches and missional communities, to mainline revitalization and church plants. I started several interconnected organizations that help the church embody the movement that Jesus founded. My visionary planning tools, the Vision Frame and the Horizon Storyline are used by thousands of churches every year through my calling to raise up other consultants and trainers. In 2004, I founded Auxano, which I sold to LifeWay and continued to lead until 2020. In 2014, I created Younique to deliver gospel-centered life design through the church. It is now the world's only comprehensive, open-source life plan system.

In 2023, I founded Run Free as my official team-based consulting shop. We deliver the most innovative Vision Framing experiences available to church teams through the "Pivvot Process" and to network/denominational leaders through the "Denominee Process." We also offer team coaching to church leaders using the "Performance Practices" of meta-performance executive coaching.

I've written seven books: Future Church, Church Unique, Younique, Clarity Spiral, God Dreams, Innovating Discipleship, and Building Leaders. I enjoy speaking about clarity, calling, disciple-making, and vision. It's all about helping one another do more than we can imagine. I co-locate in Houston and Chile with my wife, Romy, and the last of my four children, Poema.
