Tami and Steve have been a lifeline to us. Whether it’s been years or days since we have spoken, they’re always open to walk us through any difficult situation in life and ministry with the heart of the Father. I can’t even count the number of times Tami has “lowered me through the roof” to get to Jesus. And Steve has walked alongside me with soul soothing words that remind me that I am not alone. All of their experience and expertise are evidence of God’s work that they are so willing to engage leaders in ministry with such grace and humility. Tami and Steve have been integral parts of our lives and catalysts for what God has called us to do in life and ministry. We can't imagine anyone else we rather get coaching, training, teaching or coffee (or wine) with more than these two! Truly, we’re eternally grateful for them!
