About Me

Xavier LeMond

Author. Speaker. Bible Teacher. Kingdom Alignment Coach

I’m Xavier LeMond, and if you’ve found your way here, chances are you’ve been wrestling with the same questions I once did.

You’ve sat in pews, served on teams, read the books, and done everything religion told you to do — but deep down, you still feel a distance between you and God that all the noise and effort can’t seem to bridge. You love Him, but you’re exhausted. You’re burned out on trying to measure up, on jumping through spiritual hoops, and on pretending everything’s fine when it isn’t.

I know, because I’ve been there.

From the time of my birth, I was part of the picture of what “good church people” were supposed to be — committed, faithful, and busy. But as an adolescent, I somehow developed a truly personal relationship with God that didn’t always align with what I was being taught in church. (That’s another story for another time.)

As I reached adulthood however, it didn’t take long before I found myself running on empty. I’d followed the rules but found the relationship was missing. In the churches I grew up in, I was surrounded by believers who knew about God but didn’t know Him. They were performing for His approval instead of resting in His presence.

That didn’t make sense to me even as a child.

The truth hit me hard one day: Church people were trying to get me to build a life around a version of Christianity that looked nothing like the relationship I’d developed with God and that Jesus (I would realize later) had come and restored.

That realization wrecked me — and then it set me free.

When I stopped chasing what religion was trying to teach me and focused on pursuing my relationship with God, everything changed. I learned it was okay to encounter Him personally — not through a mediator, a doctrine, or a church schedule, but in real conversation with the Holy Spirit who dwells within me. I learned that God wasn’t asking for my performance; He was asking for my attention. He didn’t want more of my service; He wanted my surrender.

That revelation became my mission.

Through my book “Out of Religion & Into Relationship: Connecting With God Beyond The Church Walls”, my podcast “The Ekklesian: Clarion Call”, and my Kingdom Alignment Coaching practice, I help believers rediscover what it means to walk with God directly — to engage with Him in daily conversation, to recognize and respond to His voice, and to live in freedom and truth.

I call the process Engaging Directly with God every day — EDGe for short. It’s not a program or a formula; it’s a posture. It’s the way we were always meant to live and that Christ came to restore to us.

The people I serve are often those who’ve been disillusioned or wounded by the institutional church — believers who still love God but no longer trust the systems that claim to represent Him. They’re the ones who feel like misfits in traditional religion because in their hearts they know there’s more. They’re hungry for authenticity, intimacy, and transformation.

And that’s what the whole movement of Kingdom advancement is about.

God is calling His people back to Himself. Not to a denomination, not to a bigger institution, not to another set of rules or theology — but to a living, breathing relationship where His Spirit leads, His Word confirms, and His presence transforms.

The fact is, you don’t need to earn what Jesus already gave you. You don’t have to keep chasing worthiness. You are already seen, loved, and chosen.

None of this is about abandoning your faith — it’s about reclaiming it. It’s about peeling back the layers of tradition and dogma to (re)discover the direct, one-on-one relationship God intended to have with you from the very beginning.

When I write, speak, or coach, my goal is not to tear down churches or their leaders. My mission is to help people who are ready step into the kind of divine relationship that extends beyond religion. Because when you walk closely with God, the need for performance disappears, and real transformation begins.

This represents who the Ekklesia really are — the called-out ones who are responding God’s clarion call to return to Him. They’re not an institution. They’re not a denomination. We are a growing family of believers who have discovered that knowing God personally is worth far more than keeping up appearances.

If you’ve felt out of place in religion, if you’ve questioned the way things are, or if you’ve ever thought, “There has to be more than this,” — you’re right. There most certainly is.

That “more” isn’t found in a new (or old) system; it’s found in a Person. And He’s been waiting for you to notice that He’s been beside you all along.

This is your invitation to step out of the noise and into the relationship you were created for.

My mission is simple: to help you develop a relationship with God, hear His voice, know His heart, and live out your purpose in the freedom of His presence.

Welcome home to the Ekklesia.
And welcome back to the relationship God desires to have with you.
