Speaking Engagements
Austin and Rachel Holt speak at churches, conferences, and marriage events across the country. Biblically grounded, practical, and honest about what couples in your pews are actually carrying.
Why This Matters to Your Church
Couples in your congregation were taught, mostly by the culture and partly by silence, that marriage exists to make them happy. So when marriage gets hard, they read it as failure. Some drift. Some leave. Most just settle for a marriage that is fine and never becomes a ministry.
We come in and reframe it. Marriage as the place God does his sanctifying work. The spouse as a mirror rather than an opponent. Every hard moment as an opportunity for worship. It lands because it is scriptural, and it sticks because it changes the scorecard rather than adding another to-do.
Formats
A single message on marriage and holiness, delivered by Austin or by Austin and Rachel together across your services. Includes a clear next step for couples who want to go deeper.
Friday evening and Saturday, built around the CCM framework. Teaching, guided exercises couples do together, and facilitated small-group time.
Keynote or full-program delivery for your church's marriage event, sized to your group and your calendar.
