Couples leave with one tool they can use the night they get home. Your staff leaves feeling cared for. Your church gets a partner it can call again.
Hire Chad, Sarah-Gayle, or both of us for a keynote, a two-hour workshop, or a staff session at your church or event.
Tell us about your event. We reply with availability and an honest read on fit.
Short answer: book Chad for men's events and couples nights, Sarah-Gayle for women's events and staff care, and both of us for marriage events and workshops. Not sure which fits? Send the request and we will tell you which one we would send.
Ordained minister, co-founder
Practical, story-first teaching for husbands, couples, and ministry leaders. One idea at a time, with a tool you can use that week.
Best for: men's events, men's retreats, couples nights
Request Chad
Marriage coach, co-founder
Wise, warm, and practical. She hears what is underneath what people are saying, and she has served churches as a staff care consultant.
Best for: women's events, church staff and leadership teams, marriage nights
Request Sarah-Gayle
The couples topics
A husband and wife team in front of a room of husbands and wives. Nobody ends up feeling like the coach is on the other spouse's side.
Best for: couples events, marriage ministries, retreats, church workshops
Request Both of UsEach one stands on its own. Your people do not need to have heard the others, and there is no order to follow. Pick the one that fits your couples right now.
How to have the hard but important conversations without them turning hurtful. We teach the Communication Loop, our four step process, and couples practice it on something real. It is the one most couples come to first.
What a marriage is built on before anybody hands you a tool. Tools used with the wrong heart become weapons, so this is the ground everything else stands on.
Growing together rather than side by side and separate. Practical for couples who want their faith to be something they share instead of something they each do alone.
Honest teaching on a subject most couples have never heard addressed with any candor. How emotional and physical closeness feed each other, and what to do when expectations differ.
Format: each topic runs as a two-hour workshop or as a shorter keynote, and we set the length with you. Couples leave with one tool, not a binder.
Beyond the list
The topics above are the ones we teach together most often. Chad is an ordained minister and teaches across a wide range of topics, and we build talks around what your people need. Tell us the theme, the audience, and the time you have.
In our workshops, nobody is asked to talk about their marriage in front of a room of strangers. We teach one idea at a time from the front. Then each couple turns to each other and works through it at their own table, in their own words.
No forced sharing, no group confession, no icebreaker where couples announce what they are struggling with. What gets discussed at a table stays at that table.
Couples write theirs down on something real from their own marriage and say it out loud to each other while we are there to help them adjust it. That is the difference between reading about a skill and leaving with one.
No prep and nothing to read beforehand. Couples walk out with something small and specific they can use the day they get home.
Co-founder, ordained minister
Chad spent about ten years as an executive pastor before he and Sarah-Gayle built Hope Relentless. He sits on the board of his local church and helps lead its marriage ministry. He has been married since 2005 and has coached couples since 2010.
He teaches through story: the one-bedroom apartment and the trash, the 4x400 baton, and the years he spent winning arguments and losing the connection. The shift was not a better comeback. It was realizing the two of them were on the same team.
Co-founder, marriage coach
Sarah-Gayle holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University, and she works here as a coach rather than a clinician. She has served in ministry for years, including running a youth ministry alongside Chad, and she consults with churches on staff care.
She believes we can change the world through our marriages. Marriages shape families, families shape communities, and communities shape the world. Her love for God and others is her why, and she believes there is always, always hope because of the God she hopes in.
Hope Relentless is a coaching practice, not a clinical one. We are coaches, not licensed therapists, and we do not provide therapy, diagnosis, or treatment. If someone in your room needs licensed clinical care, we will tell them and help them find it.
Four ministry leaders, in their own words.
On Hope Relentless
"As a pastor, I can confidently say that partnering with Hope Relentless has been one of the most valuable investments in the health of our church and families. Through their guidance, we have seen marriages restored and strengthened, and individuals experience lasting healing and growth. They combine exceptional professional competency with genuine compassion, creating a safe and trusted environment for every person they serve. Their character, integrity, and commitment to biblical truth make them a counseling resource we recommend without hesitation. I have also had the privilege of observing their marriage up close on a personal level, and I can honestly say they model what they teach through the way they love, honor, and support one another. They understand the heart of the local church and work as true ministry partners in helping people build Christ-centered relationships, and I wholeheartedly recommend them as a counseling team to strengthen any marriage and family ministry."
On staff care consulting
"Sarah-Gayle has truly been a God-sent to us. She was brought in to consult at a time when we had just been given the leadership of a 35yr old church. Her focus for us was staff care, including how to help us better serve married couples working together on staff. Sarah-Gayle brings wisdom and does an amazing job of hearing everyone and gathering honest input to determine the course of action. After meeting with Sarah-Gayle, we were able to implement better staff care that has strengthened our unity and dynamic as a church staff family. Sarah-Gayle is trustworthy and wise, and we always knew she had everyone's best interests in mind. We are grateful for the wisdom we gleaned from our time with Sarah-Gayle. Every organization can benefit from her sound advice."
On coaching
"We could not recommend Hope Relentless more! Sarah-Gayle has been such a gift to us in coming alongside my husband and I as we navigated a season of big decision-making and changes. She helped us prioritize our marriage at every turn and championed us both individually and together. We would highly recommend her to anyone who values their relationship and is seeking to keep it strong and healthy!"
On coaching
"Sarah-Gayle entered into the tension in our marriage with both grace and truth. Her approach of asking questions and her practical steps of wisdom are what changed things for us early in our marriage. With patience and tenacity, Sarah-Gayle entered into disagreements and family of origin issues by helping us both to identify where we needed to grow. She is STILL all these years later, walking with us in different ways."
We travel for this, and it is some of our favorite work. If you lead a church, a small group ministry, or a marriage ministry, here is how it divides.
How booking works
Who is in the room, the date you have in mind, and who you would like to hear from: Chad, Sarah-Gayle, or both of us.
Availability, whether we are the right fit, and which topic we would start with.
Format, length, room setup, promotion, and a quote based on the format, the length, and the travel.
One request covers all of it. Pick a speaker, or tell us you are not sure and we will recommend one.
A keynote or workshop is a teaching room. It fits when your people are stable enough to learn and practice something new. A few situations call for something else first.
None of that means your event is a bad idea. It means we would rather tell you now than find out in the room.
Yes. You can book Chad, Sarah-Gayle, or both of us. Couples events and marriage ministry nights fit best with both of us. Men's events fit Chad. Women's events and staff care fit Sarah-Gayle. If you are not sure, send the request and we will tell you which one we would send.
Together we teach four: Communication and Conflict Resolution, Marriage Foundation: Biblical Mindsets, Spiritual Connection in Marriage, and Sexual Intimacy: God's Design. Chad also speaks on The Overwhelmed Husband and Come Back Faster. Sarah-Gayle speaks on connection and communication, staff care for churches, and encouragement for women. Chad can also teach on a wide range of other topics, and we build custom talks around what your people need. Tell us about them and we will name the one we would start with.
A session where Sarah-Gayle listens to your team, gathers honest input from the people who serve, and helps your leaders set a plan for caring for them. That includes how to serve married couples who work together on staff. One pastor who brought her in says it strengthened the unity of the whole staff.
Yes. We are based in Chandler, Arizona, and we travel to teach for churches, small group ministries, and marriage ministries. Tell us where your event is and we will tell you what it takes.
A room, promotion to your people, and registration however you normally handle it. For workshops, tables that seat two per table so couples sit together instead of facing a stage. We bring the teaching and the workbook material. We also need a date that works for both calendars.
We quote once we know the format, the length, and the travel. A short conversation about your event gets you a number. If budget is tight, say so up front so we can be honest about what fits.
We teach from a Christian view of marriage, and two of the four couples topics are explicitly biblical, so we would rather you know that going in. The tools are practical, and plenty of couples who do not share our faith get real value from them. If your audience is mixed, tell us. We will say plainly whether it fits and which topic we would start with.
No. We teach from the front, then each couple works through it at their own table, in their own words. Nobody is called on and nobody reports back to the room.
No. Hope Relentless is a coaching practice. We are coaches, not licensed therapists, and we do not provide therapy, diagnosis, or treatment. A keynote or workshop is teaching and practice, not clinical care. Sarah-Gayle holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University and works here as a coach rather than a clinician, and Chad is an ordained minister. If someone in your room needs licensed clinical care, we will tell them and help them find it.
Pick Chad, Sarah-Gayle, or both of us. We reply with availability and an honest read on fit.
