April L. Diaz - Headshot 2019

April has been a visionary and challenger her entire life.

In 2019, she founded Ezer + Co., a company committed to activating women toward wholeness in life and leadership in full partnership with men. April pastored in the local church for nearly 20 years at two of the most influential churches in the country. For the last 7 years she’s coached over 500 leaders and has spoken internationally. She’s crazy passionate coming alongside leaders who are influencing along the margins of culture.

Her first book, Redefining the Role of the Youth Worker: A Manifesto for Integration is a compelling vision for the church’s role with teenagers. Because April loves teenagers, she loves partnering with Stuff You Can Use and Fuller Youth Institute.

She coaches, speaks, and writes frequently on living and leading with wholeness. She loves talking about leadership, soul care, youth ministry, and caring for your body. She’s always been a tomboy with sparkly shoes and reads more than she can put into practice. She’s still madly in love with her high school sweetheart, Brian. Together, they co-parent 3 fabulous kiddos and live in Orange County, CA.


ON A MORE PERSONAL NOTE.

Married since August 2001.

Married since August 2001.

I'm a total girly girl, read more than I can put into practice, and work some nights from bed while Netflix plays in the background.

I'm an Enneagram 8 (7 wing). I've never met a challenge I didn't love, which ironically can be challenging.

I've fallen in love with running and yoga. My heart has been created for Southern California and Africa.

I'm still entirely crazy about my high school sweetheart, Brian. We've been together over half our lives and he’s still my favorite person...no question! There's no one in the world who supports, cheerleads, challenges, and loves me like this man.  And he makes me laugh every day. There's so many things I wish I could tweet about the brilliant and hilarious things he says, but he'd probably kill me.

WINTER 2019.

WINTER 2019.

After a deep calling into international adoption and a subsequent excruciating infertility journey, we FINALLY became parents. In January 2011 we became a "forever family"  when we brought home the most beautiful Ethiopians, Judah and Addise. In a total miracle, 15 months later we welcomed bio son, Asher, into the world. Yes, you read that right. We went from zero to 3 kids in 15 months. Being a mom to these 3 little people has changed me at my core. Motherhood is simultaneously the best and hardest thing I get to do.

We live in Southern California. It's our happy place.

 


I LOVE PARTNERING WITH THESE PHENOMENAL ORGANIZATIONS...
