Experiencing Oneness Like Never Before
My husband and I have found a complete spiritual breakthrough and are experiencing a oneness that we have never experienced in our 22 years of marriage. We have been in ATI since 1994 and my husband is the head of our Family Support Network group that meets in Salem, OR, yet was resisting the grace of God in his life to overcome the attacks of Satan. Now, he understands his identity in Christ in such a real and meaningful way. We experienced such a time of cleansing and forgiveness on Saturday. God’s goodness is now overwhelming our whole family and me. We had the opportunity to have breakfast Sunday with Chris and Anne and went on a walk with them through the woods and God spoke so clearly to us through them and the testimony of their lives. It was wonderful to have those 2 hours with them before they had to leave. My husband and I had all day Sunday to drive home and spent so much of the time reading the Word and praying and confessing and asking God for more revelation and strength. Then this morning he called of the children together for a time of confessing a praying and the children forgiving him and us for not having the marriage that God wants for us. We have a new energy and excitement that I haven’t experienced for a long time. We praise God for his goodness and how his truth and mercy can conquer sin and evil and we can be victorious!
Making Progress 2 Weeks After the Conference
Chris, Thank you so much for the impact that you and Anne have had on our lives. Almost 2 weeks, and we’re still doing great! We’ve had many opportunities to continue growing in Christ and growing in our oneness with each other. We have been doing spiritual warfare and it’s sometimes hard, but the victory and hope we feel is definitely worth it! God has sent other couples into our path already to minister to and Phil has had the opportunity to talk to each of the children and is making a lot of progress in relationships there as well. Thank you so much for caring about us. Your willingness to share your lives and what you have learned has been a great blessing in our lives.

Great Tools, Great Opportunity to Grow
Tish and I have attended seminars over the course of our 22 years of marriage. We value the opportunity to grow in our marriage and are always looking for tools and resources to help other couples grow in their marriages as well. The Noble Partners Marriage conference excels on both accounts. Chris and Anne Hogan teach with a contagious passion for God’s Truth and with power that only comes from lives that are daily being transformed by what they teach. You won’t regret any sacrifice you have to make to attend!

Lasting Changes
It’s been over a month now and the changes are lasting. We have genuine intimacy and are experiencing spiritual victory as we intercede for our family and others as a united couple. Our hope and vision for our marriage and children has been resurrected and we are excited to see what God is going to do!

Biblical, Practical, Enthusiastic
The Marriage Conference with Chris and Anne Hogan was a spiritual high-water mark. The presentations were biblical, practical and enthusiastic. Two of the sessions were particularly impacting, the Courageous Conversations That Resolve Your Most Pressing Issues’ and ‘Developing a Blessing Identity Statement.’ We were also blessed by the transparency and availability of Chris and Anne throughout the conference… The schedule provided enjoyable time for fellowship with the other couples as well as time for just us as a couple. It will be one the most rewarding investments you could make in your marriage."

I Discovered My Identity in Christ
I would just like to say to both of you that I saw true care and concern in your eyes for all the couples that were there. Maybe that’s what makes your ministry so powerful. No one was made to feel unimportant. This conference was truly a blessing. The most significant thing I was reminded of was my identity in Christ. When we look to Christ in each other (Christ in us the hope of glory) there is always hope.

Communicating our Greatest Needs
At the marriage enrichment conference we were driven full-speed ahead through many wonderful truths about ourselves, our relationship with Christ, and our marriages. We began to see and understand what Christ wanted to do and be in us, by His great power. We began to understand that problems are solved through communication and that this must be done in a “safe” way. Chris Hogan shared with us how to determine our own greatest needs in our marriage and how to communicate to our spouses what these were in a loving, non-threatening, non-demanding way.

Working Together for the First Time
For the first time in our marriage, we are working together and resolving conflict as it surfaces. We have intimacy for the first time.

I Changed My Mind About Divorce
I had announced to my husband three weeks before the conference that I was divorcing him. The thought of staying in an emotionally empty marriage for another 29 years was not what I had in mind for my life. Your conference on marriage communication, understanding the needs of your spouse, and the blessing, really woke my husband up. You helped to break the final strongholds that were preventing us from experiencing a whole marriage.

Courageous Conversations Resolve Real Issues
The courageous conversation exercise has been the one tool that has done more for us in helping us get to real issues and pursue each other’s hearts. Through that tool we find ourselves moving toward each other and separating out the issues in a clearer way than ever before.

Marriage Has Never Been Better
My wife was getting more desperate after 7 years of trying to resolve festering issues that I couldn’t grasp or resolve. In desperation a day before the conference, I booked airline tickets to attend the conference. The training and the Courageous Conversations that we had that weekend, particularly with “conversation coaches” made all the difference for our marriage, which after 17 years, has never been better!

Gained Hope for Resolving Pressing Issues
My wife and I came this past week with a number of pressing issues that were creating tremendous stress for both of us. We were in need of a way to work through these issues without getting defensive. I believe that through the coaching process we were able to gain some real hope for building a great marriage – something we both really want, but could not see as really possible.

Feasting on the Deep Insights Shared
At first, I have to admit, I was not to excited about going to another marriage conference. We’ve attended so many and although I learned things I always felt there was a shallowness in the teaching. Praise God, this was not the case for this marriage conference. We are still feasting on the wonderful insight and deeper understanding we gleaned from you.

Found Solution for Understanding My Wife
We have been married for 27 years. The major mistake that I made over all these years is when my wife got upset and/or shutdown in communication, I would go away and leave her alone. Sometimes I went away because I didn’t like the conflict; sometimes because I was upset; and sometimes I went away thinking she needed to have space. But I learned at the conference that this is the time she needs me to stay with her the most. I need to continue to pursue knowing her feelings and her heart. The last thing I should do is to leave her in the ‘ocean of emotion’ and abandon her. I have made the commitment to change and may God have grace on me so I can die to myself and do what I ought to.
