Meet Our Team
John and Debbie Preston
We care about your marriage. Why? Early on we destroyed our marriage. We separated and were a signature away from divorce. It was a long, painful, ugly season. Miraculously, God had a better outcome in mind. He restored our marriage, and last year we celebrated our 37th anniversary.
We know what it’s like to feel alone in your pain. We know what it’s like to have a counselor say they’ve never seen a couple as broken as we were ever get back together. Our story is proof that “With God all things are possible.” (Matt. 19:26). For us, walking alongside hurting couples is a front-row seat to watch God work.

Leah + John Paul Sodusta
Divorced…what?! Throughout the years, we would be surprised when couples we knew got divorced. It made us wonder, how many couples are hurting and in trouble that have just acted like all is fine when we are around them? We had fallen into the same trap of pretending we have no problems. We thank God that He helped us restore our marriage. Out of gratitude, love and obedience to Jesus Christ, we got intentional about sharing the struggles we go through as a couple, asking our friends hard questions, sharing what God taught us and being there to support them.
We met back in high school and have been though MANY ups and downs. We are happy to share our struggles and tools for getting out of the muck if it will help get another couple off the road to disaster. We have a heart for those who are hurting, specifically marriages and families. Open communication and growing together toward a shared purpose and vision makes our Team Sodusta strong and we thank the Lord for that, for our own sake as a couple and the sake of our children. Instead of draining the life out of each other, we are able to love and serve Jesus as we disciple those around us toward Christ since He is the ultimate solution to all human problems.

Alpha Marriage Course
Whether you’ve been married 40 days or 40 years, the Alpha Marriage Course will help you
invest in your relationship and build a stronger marriage! Some couples take the course to intentionally invest in their relationship, others want to address specific challenges. Either way, you’ll learn essential tools and get practical ideas to strengthen your marriage. The teaching is based on Christian principles, but is designed for all couples, with or without a church background. How does it work? Think of this as a date night with a purpose! A beautifully, catered dinner at a private table, just you and your spouse. Then you’ll watch a video, pausing periodically for private conversation at your own table- again, just you and your spouse. No sharing with other couples, no group conversation. This is a night for the two of you!
