OUR TESTIMONY
“A God of Second Chances”

The reconciliation of our marriage after an eleven-year divorce and a distance of over 3,000 coast-to-coast miles is nothing short of a modern-day miracle. Our testimony entitled, “A God of Second Chances,” is accompanied by a multimedia presentation that enhances our story and assists us in encouraging others to reconcile broken relationships. The length of our testimony can be adapted to fit a variety of settings including worship services, special events, retreats, conferences, and small groups.  

As we have shared our testimony in churches, meeting halls, and homes across the nation, we’ve experienced the breakdown of strongholds and the mending of marriages and other relationships. In order to facilitate the next steps in the process of reconciliation, we also follow-up our testimony by teaching one of our workshops which can be modified to fit a variety of settings and times.

Discovering God's Vision for Your Marriage

Do you have a vision for your marriage? God certainly does. Do you know where God wants your marriage to be a year from now? Five years from now? Ten? Whether you are engaged, honeymooners, or have been married for many years, this seminar will provide you with hands-on training and applicable tools to help you gain a more godly perspective on your marriage relationship. The marriage model participants explore focuses on three interrelated parts: Alignment with God's Standards, Accountability to God's People, and Assessment of God's Vision. Topics covered include structuring and maintaining weekly devotional time together, building accountability partners into your relationship, and accurately measuring the ongoing development of your marriage so that it progresses toward what God intended it to be. To facilitate a meaningful context during our time together, we demonstrate Biblical truths through a multi-media approach. This venue allows us to challenge and encourage you to expand your thinking and application of God's Word into your marriage relationship in a unique way.

This seminar is designed to fit into an all-day format, but can be adapted to meet the needs of your church, organization, or retreat group. Click here to contact us for more information.
