they are created to be! They are passionate pursuers of Christ
and loves people unconditionally. Scott and Kristi have been
married as well as best friends for over 33 years. They have five
children and seven grandchildren. As pastors and health
coaches, they have inspired thousands to live their BEST life and
walk in full health: spirit, soul and body!
In 2020, after nearly 30 years in ministry; Scott suffered a sudden
death cardiac arrest and due to loss of oxygen and a pulse for 22
minutes he had a severe anoxic brain injury. Their lives took a
hard left turn. Scott lost everything, extreme memory loss, as well
as many other neurological deficiencies. Scott is a FIGHTER and
he has valiantly pursued health and WHOLENESS on this
journey. He has relearned basic things like walking, talking and
everyday tasks. He continues to progress in recapturing his
memories and his cognitive abilities.
With Kristi by his side each step of the way, they have overcome
the odds and now dedicate themselves to inspiring others to
never give up – even when you don’t know if you have it in you. In
their best selling book, Punch Back, they inspire others through
their story of faith & strength. “If you are still breathing, God has a
purpose for you” Scott encourages. The journey has been difficult
and wearisome at times, but Kristi is quick to say “Suffering is a
privilege. We will use our fight to strengthen others during theirs.”
