We’re here to help you have awesome Godly relationships, a deeply connected marriage, awesome friendships and community, an abundant work life and a healthy relationship with yourself. But let’s back up a little bit…
Here’s the thing: Marriage isn’t easy, relationships are hard, taking ownership of our walk with Jesus is a journey, understanding who we are takes time and effort and so much more!
There’s so much to figure out, and so many opportunities for us to get off course.
As you’ve tried to navigate all these opportunities have you ever wished you had a book, a friend, a mentor that could guide you with all of the answers?
That’s exactly what we needed — a Biblical marriage counselor who could walk this journey with us, a book that gave us guidance, wisdom and direction. We needed to know we were not alone in our journey and we needed someone to help us find our way.
Thankfully, we were able to navigate through a very hard journey of marriage lacking spiritual and emotional connection, divorce, single-parenting for a time but coming out on the other side of 7 years being divorced, to have the opportunity for our marriage to be reconciled.
Here are the relationships we can help you navigate:
Marriage
Let us help you live this season with Biblically focused contentment, joy, and purpose, all the while setting you up for the marriage God has intended for you to have.
God
Let us invite God more deeply into our lives, and watch as He transforms them into a story that’s beyond anything we could come up with on our own.
Friendships
There’s nothing better than deep Biblical community, but finding this (and keeping!) community as an adult is just plain hard! But, you don’t have to navigate this alone. We’re here to help you find, grow, and deepen your community. Let’s cultivate the community you’ve always wanted!
Work
You were created on purpose and for a purpose. It is our firm belief that you have everything you need to make the world (and your corner of it!) a better, more beautiful place. But here’s the thing — that can be hard. Finding your calling, pursuing your dreams, maintaining a healthy work/life balance, even just paying the bills isn’t easy.
Yourself
We rarely think of ourselves as one of our relationships, but we are. More often than not, we are our own worst critic, but around here, we’re working to change that. We’re working to become the healthy person God created you to be — for our relationship with ourselves to be safe, positive, encouraging, loving, and connected.
