Our Story

Katie and I met our freshman year of college at the University of South Carolina. The day I met her I went home and told my roommate I was going to marry that girl. Her reputation preceded her. She was beautiful and bold, going after God and not willing to compromise. I’d never met anyone like her. Having recently started walking with God myself, He allowed our paths to cross at a time in our lives where we’d both decided to put Him first. We sought God about our future, our family, his purpose for our lives. We honored him in our purity, our lifestyle, and choices.

We got married Christmas of our senior year and shared with our families just a few months later at Graduation that we were pregnant. Having always wanted a large family Katie was pregnant for much of the next decade. We’d have 3 kids and 3 miscarriages in the first few years, we experienced the epic joy of childbirth and the crushing disappointment of loss. All the while, we were both pursuing our masters, working full time, renovated a few homes and acquired some rental property. We were staying busy, very busy, in Jesus name. Somehow convinced we were going to change the world. That said, it was a season where we felt isolated relationally, strapped financially and stressed as to how we make it all work.

But over time, our pace and lifestyle had created distance in our relationship, and we began to see the consequences it was having on our marriage. We were having a regular date night and intimacy was happening, I thought the tension we were feeling was normal. But in reality, Katie’s heart was slowly drifting elsewhere.

She’d been on bedrest with our first son and feeling distant from me while also emotionally engaging with the husband of a couple we were close friends with. What started as concern and care, dropping off meals and magazines, turned into texts and phone calls which changed everything.

Katie had given her heart to another man and was convinced that she didn’t love me anymore. Over the course of the next year, we saw God do nothing short of a miracle in our marriage. It wasn’t an easy process, often times it was three steps forward and two steps back. But God. He was faithful to fight for and restore us. He took us to a new place of friendship and intimacy that felt much like a new marriage with the same person.

  • What a gift to spend the weekend with so many incredible couples who are going after Jesus and choosing to intentionally invest in their marriages. 🤍

We never take it lightly when couples make space to slow down, have the real conversations, laugh together, dream again, and invite Jesus into every part of their story.

So grateful for Pastor Randy and Cheryl and the beautiful environment they created @summerville_baptist Marriage Retreat for honesty, connection, and real life change. There is something powerful about a church that believes strong marriages are worth fighting for, and then creates space for couples to actually do the work.

We left reminded all over again: God created covenant. He is still writing stories. And no matter what season your marriage is in, there is always an invitation to take the next faithful step toward one another and toward Him.

Thank you, Summerville Baptist and our new friends, for letting us be a small part of what God is doing in your marriages and families. We are grateful and cheering you on!
  • “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” — Proverbs 11:14

Sometimes the bravest next step in a marriage crisis is simply this:

Slow down. Get wise counsel. And take the next faithful step.

There can be an abundant story on the other side of this chapter. 🤍
  • If your marriage is in crisis, we want you to know this: crisis does not have to be the end of your story.

We’ve seen Jesus use some of the hardest seasons in a marriage as a catalyst toward the covenant abundance He intended all along. But when a marriage is in crisis, giving it the attention and care it deserves is critical.

One of the simplest and bravest first steps is this: tell someone you trust. Don’t carry it alone or wait until things get worse.

And if you don’t know what your next step should be, we would love to help point you toward resources and support.

Please email us rather than DM us so your message doesn’t get missed and we can make sure we respond and help you find the right next step.
