We stand in Christ's presence when we speak; God looks us in the face. We get what we say straight from God and say it as honestly as we can.
2 Corinthians 2:17




Amy and Michael’s love story began while they were undergraduates at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. After graduation, they went on to earn master’s degrees in clinical psychology from Wheaton College in Chicago, Illinois.

~What Others Say~

"I'm not sure I have words to express my gratitude to you for recommending Michael & Amy for our marriage retreat weekend!!! They were FABULOUS!!! Everyone absolutely fell in love with them! Their message was so powerful, and yet all the couples said they felt like they weren't being "preached at," it actually felt more like you were sitting with Michael & Amy's living room just hanging out and talking about marriage stuff. It was awesome!"
