Steve and Lorraine have an uncommon ability to lead people into freedom and healthy relationships. They minister powerfully to leadership teams and to the local church. I highly recommend them to you.

Paul Manwaring, Fathering People & Organizations
Steve and Lorraine bring a life time of experience gained in many roles and through many joys and trials. Their vulnerable and authentic approach to relationships is profound and powerful. We recently sat in on a very challenging meeting with multiple people and multiple expectations of the meeting. Their ability to lead it earned our respect at the highest level. We believe that their ability to not just teach but practice and continually grow in their own gifts and relationships makes them a great resource for the body of Christ.
