Our return to ministry is the result of a victorious battle for our marriage and family. After successfully planting our first church, Justin had an affair with a staff member, who was also Trisha’s best friend.
What followed was a 4-year journey of pain, grief and ultimately the restoration of our relationship by the grace of God. This experience left a watermark on our marriage of what it really means to experience grace, love and redemption firsthand—both individually and as a couple
In 2012, we founded RefineUs, using our story of failure, loss, and transformation to guide others to discover renewed hope and purpose.
We are authors, teachers, and pastors and coaches. We create courses, marriage conferences and coach couples, individuals and churches to help relationships thrive.
RefineUs has grown into community of imperfect and broken people finding healing and transformation through honesty and authenticity. We believe being real is more important than being perfect.
We have five kids, a daughter-in-law and two dogs that have a co-dependent relationship with Trish. We live in Indianapolis, IN, a city that we love.
