For Erik Rees, a single, overpowering theme has dominated his life: Empower people to find and fulfill their unique purpose in life by embracing and expressing their God-given S.H.A.P.E. for life. Because of that singular focus, the road he has traveled - from corporate America to fulltime ministry - is populated by lives changed for God.
The Bible makes it clear, Erik believes, that everyone was made by God to make a Kingdom difference for God. As pastor and leader of the Ministry & S.H.A.P.E. Discovery Teams at Saddleback Church, Erik knows his unique Kingdom purpose is to help others discover their own. He not only has been instrumental in empowering thousands of people to embrace this truth about their life, but God continues to use him to equip thousands of leaders and pastors, from all around the world, to empower their people to do the same.
Erik is not only a pastor, trainer and S.H.A.P.E. specialist, he is also the founder and architect of yourservingsweetspot.com. An online discovery experience targeted at helping people bring their S.H.A.P.E. and purpose to life.
Erik enjoys various sports activities and reading books in the areas of leadership, spiritual transformation, and organizational development. He devotes his free time to his wife and their three children.
Now, Erik’s expertise is available to everyone through his new book --- S.H.A.P.E.: Finding & Fulfilling Your Unique Purpose for Life

“I can say without any reservation that Erik understands more about helping you discern and develop your S.H.A.P.E. than any other person on the planet.” Rick Warren
