Jared and I met when he was home from school for break and I came home post-semester with a mission call. Neither of us could have guessed where those temporary moves to Billings, Montana would lead. That surprise though, is one that changed both of our lives in more ways than we could ever have imagined. We did all the usual things: met, dated, got engaged. But that is where our journey truly begins. It's a journey neither Jared or I knew how to navigate, but it was a journey we knew, with God, would ultimately lead to both an eternal destination for us and our future family. 

Our journey with healing was different than most. There wasn't therapy. There was unexpected revelation and guidance that didn't make sense at the time. Ultimately, we developed a lifestyle, mindset and faith that was far different than we expected but far greater than we imagined. It was a path that today enables us to work with so many incredible people on their own journey of becoming the individuals and family leaders God is calling each one of us to be.
For years we battled. We learned. We became. Through it all, we discovered one crucial thing. Overcoming weakness is just a step to something greater. God didn't need us to just overcome a pornography habit in our home. He needed us to become leaders; leaders who fought the hard, focused on the goal of eternity, and were willing to fight any problem we faced individually, as a couple, or as a family.

As a little girl, I could have described my husband down to the color of his eyes and his ability to serenade me with his deep, rusty country voice. Well, minus the ability to sing (sorry, Babe!) and hazel eyes instead of blue, my super hunk of a husband lives up to all of my childhood dreams and so many more! As we dreamed of a future life together, I will forever be grateful for the bravery and humility it took my then-future-husband to tell me of a battle he had fought for years. It was a battle he gave me the choice to fight with him or the opportunity to walk away from. And it is a choice we made to never stop fighting no matter how long it took. You see... What began as a teenage habit with pornography for Jared led to a journey neither of us knew how to navigate in our marriage. However, through our commitment to personal growth and the covenant promises of our marriage and family being eternal, we confronted this challenge head-on.

This journey took us years. But, it's a journey that is now changing lives for individuals, couples and families all across the country and in far less time than it took us and with far less trial and error. It's a journey we do not live in shame of. It is a journey that has led us here today. It is a journey towards leadership that has blessed us with not only an incredible marriage, but a life that puts our original goals and dreams to shame. The truth is, marriage takes work. Crafting a family culture intentionally takes work. Eternity and knowing God takes work. Every relationship we develop TAKES WORK. But that is what leadership enables each of us to accomplish: the hard work. 
 Your development as a leader and the leadership development of your children is an investment that spans generations. It is an investment that changes both lives and family trees. It is an investment that ripples in to the world. We don't just believe that, we know it. We know, because today, leadership development with God as our guide enables us to live the life we, at times, wondered would be possible. It enables us to help you do the same. And with God as your guide, anything is possible.
