Who Are You People?

Nathan & Andrea Warnock were married December 17, 2005. After spending the first 8 years of their marriage doing everything that they could think of to ruin their marriage (Don't believe me? Watch this, they finally decided to stop running from the Lord and submit fully to His plan of marriage (For that story, watch this).

Shortly after the Lord began His work in Nathan & Andrea's marriage, He called them to stand up for His plan in the marriages of others. That was over 10 years ago! Since then, Nathan & Andrea have had the privilege of working closely with dozens of couples who are dealing with everything from dating issues to engagement questions to crisis within their marriage. Throughout all of these situations, Nathan & Andrea try to always bring these couples back to one thing - the never failing, peace giving Word of God. Within those sweet words lie the freedom and joy that we are all looking for in our marriages and our families.

Nathan & Andrea have five children - Jaxon, Rhyan, Ryker, Lincoln, and Easton. Andrea homeschools the \"school-agers\" and does her best (which is exceptional) to corral the others. Nathan runs a business with his parents, coaches baseball for the boys, and does nerdy stuff with his friends.
