They looked like the perfect couple living the American dream. Kevin was climbing the corporate ladder building a fast-track career at a Fortune-500 company. Bree was raising their three children. But their home was crumbling from the inside. Lack of attention to each other, stalled communication and undeveloped conflict resolution skills caused friction. Fighting seemed constant and kept escalating.

“We were not complementing each other, we were score boarding,” Kevin said. They sought counseling off and on for seven years, but when even their therapist suggested they separate, Kevin took that as an excuse for a way out and filed for divorce – a decision that eventually cost them more than $100,000.

But Bree chose a different strategy. While Kevin went the “way of the world,” she went the “way of the word.” She started attending a new church in their hometown of Omaha where she met a new crowd – Bible-believing prayer warrior women. She found a true relationship with Jesus Christ and started bathing their marriage in prayer.

“I learned what a godly life was like and wanted another chance to be a godly wife and try again,” she said. “Instead of focusing on Kevin’s mistakes and downfalls, I wanted to respect my husband in obedience to Christ.”

On March 31, the day before April Fool’s, 2016, Kevin’s heart shifted. He reached out to Bree to wish her happy birthday and ask if they could schedule a meeting together the next day. For Bree’s part she was tired. They had weathered 10 months of separation and a nasty deposition. But she agreed and called on her prayer warriors. The next day Kevin walked in with an apology and recognition of the pain he’d caused their family. She could see something was different when he apologized. “I knew enough that his heart had softened,” she said. “God worked a miracle in me in that I was able to say, ‘I forgive you.’” They decided they both wanted to work on their marriage but weren’t quite sure what that looked like just yet.

The next Sunday Kevin went to Bree’s new church. “I had never heard the Gospel message taught like that … about forgiveness, hope, legacy… I surrendered my life to Jesus and got saved,” he said. “I made him my savior and committed to live my life for him.” Over the next year, Kevin became more open to being vulnerable and the two were able to leverage Bree’s connection with one of her mentors to start working through the church’s marriage ministry program. They plugged into a small group, learned tools and gained strength to do marriage God’s way.

“We didn’t know what it looked like, but we needed to get it right,” Kevin said. Their children were 18, eight and four years old at the time. While “our 18-year -old daughter had never seen us represent Jesus well (other than checking the box for years by just attending church on Sundays), the other two were seeing us put Jesus in the middle of our lives. We pointed to Jesus and told them it is only through him that we are still a family,” Bree said. “I learned early on that sin costs,” Kevin added. “Even if things get restored there is still an aftermath to deal with.”

“God gave us a second chance,” Bree said. “It started with me. Once I got my eyes off Kevin’s weaknesses I could become his trusted confidant.” The Baileys worked with their mentors for two years, then became facilitators to help others. But the intensive evening meetings started to impact their time with their children. They thought, “How can we do this better and reach more people?”

In 2020, Kevin left the company for which he had worked for 25 years – his Christ-centered worldview no longer fit their model. He and Bree launched digital coaching ministry Reverence Restored in 2020 during Covid, which started strong as people became very open to online options at that time. In 2024 they took a leap of faith to transition to full-time ministry.

“I have seen God show up in crazy ways in the marketplace and provide so well for us and our family because we took time to get our marriage right,” Kevin said. “We are better leaders today because of this commitment.”

Reverence Restored’s website brims with inspirational language that does not sound churchy.

“Honor can be restored. Legacy can be rewritten. At Reverence Restored, we help faith-driven men and couples rebuild connection, restore honor, and lead their homes with clarity and confidence. You lead in business, but at home, something feels off. The intimacy is fading. The connection is strained. You’re not alone, and it doesn’t have to stay this way. Through biblically grounded, high-performance coaching, we equip you to break old patterns, reignite love, and build a marriage that reflects your faith and legacy. This isn’t therapy. It’s transformation,” as written on their website, reverencerestored.com.

“We designed the coaching courses to reach the people that we were before,” Bree said, “someone in the secular world who doesn’t know Jesus or have a solid/strong faith background but knows he’ll be the only way to fix their marriages.”

One goal is to help couples restore honor in their marriage. When asked to define honor, Kevin said it begins with a deep respect for who God is. After that priority is established, it goes back to understanding the roles of husband and wife. Kevin refers to 1 Peter 3 directing wives to draw their husbands closer to the Lord by their godly attitude and behavior. And husbands have their own admonition, “If we don’t treat our wives with honor, our prayers will be hindered,” he said. “When we get the leadership of marriage right, God will hear our prayers. When we practice that with our wives and children, it becomes part of how we operate. Every other area of life elevates, whether we are sitting in a board room or interacting with an employee.”

The Baileys developed coaching courses through trial and error, making sure they were rooted in scripture and prayed over constantly. Feedback from couples helped them understand what produced the best results and allowed Kevin and Bree to continue tweaking the programs to create the best value.

Reverence Restored now offers three program tracks tailored for men, women and couples. Kevin has taken all the skills and expertise that made him successful in the corporate world and applied them to helping individuals and couples become the best versions of themselves, in Christ, to be equipped to leave a lasting legacy.

The Baileys noticed roughly 80% of couple clients start with someone accessing one of the individual platforms before transitioning to the couple format when their spouse decides to join the process. To facilitate this on-ramp, Reverence Restored costs the same no matter which program was started, and spouses are included with no extra charge.

“It’s common we’ll be working with someone for two to three weeks, then the spouse is ready to participate,” Kevin said. “There’s no upcharge. If at any part of the program a spouse wants to get involved, they become part of our ecosystem.”

People self-select which program they’d like to join. Enrollment begins with a discovery call to help the Baileys understand the needs and discern whether values align to make Reverence Restored a good fit for the person or couple.

“We let everybody know this is Jesus centered and we believe God’s word is true,” Kevin added.

The men’s program offers a structured framework described as, “Faith-driven coaching to help you rebuild connection, lead your home with confidence, and leave a legacy that lasts. We help faith-driven leaders like you:

Rebuild emotional, physical, and spiritual intimacy.

Lead with clarity, confidence, and conviction at home.

Create a legacy your children will be proud to follow.

You invested time in your business, now it’s time to invest in your home.”

Kevin will unpack a husband’s three roles – Pastor of her heart, Protector of her mind, Provider of stability.

“I knew how to provide monetarily,” he said, “but provision of stability is what matters most. Am I creating more stress or confusion or delusion for her? How do we get off the roller coaster and navigate that?”

Men also are encouraged to think about their family legacy. Kevin challenges them to consider every opportunity through a four-question lens, saying “no” to the good so they have capacity to say “yes” to the best. “Evaluate whether participating in something will make you a closer follower of Christ, a better husband, a better father and a better leader,” he said. If any of the answers are no, turn it down.

Kevin inspires men to take responsibility for becoming the best version of themselves. “We are in it to win it,” he said. “This is not a program for someone who is not all in.”

Bree’s work with women is more fluid. Many who come to her for coaching have experienced infidelity and betrayal and their sessions become emotional.

“What women need is a friend and someone who is going to tell them the truth,” Bree said. “They’ve shared with friends and family and all that’s gotten them is chaos. They need a confidential person who is going to speak the truth of God’s word.” Bree reminds them that their identity is in Christ. She’ll teach them to Reflect God’s presence, understanding how God forgives so they can choose to offer forgiveness to others. Respond with God’s grace rather than control and Restore what’s broken – trusting God to do the work of healing as they pray.

“God has given us this amazing redemption story,” Bree said. “I’m able to be vulnerable but respectful with the details. Resentment, bitterness, all of that happens. I’ve done these things. But I can show women a way I’ve learned that’s a lot more beneficial.”

If and once individuals are ready, they can transition to the Baileys’ couples coaching program, where they’ll experience continued growth and development. The healing journey addresses trust and forgiveness; physical, emotional and spiritual intimacy; and finances, among other topics.

“This isn’t just about fixing your marriage,” Kevin said. “It’s about becoming the couple God designed you to be – healed, united, and committed to building a legacy of love, faith and purpose.”

They also unpack the four C’s of communication, connection, conflict resolution and community.

“How do we navigate conflict?” Kevin asked. “Every moment is a development or a division. If we can’t even agree on what’s for dinner, we will fail and fall back into conflict.”

Different times in marriage can be like a roller coaster, with high highs and low lows, Bree explained. “Let’s work on these C’s so when you have those times, you know how to work through them together. If we are not communicating on the small things, we can have a big fight and go back to the old habits. Be patient, know the timing, pray for your spouse’s heart. Show your kids what that looks like. We’ve worked hard to learn to use the skills to be respectful and honorable and not let something chaotic spiral out of control.”

They also advise couples to create dedicated, intentional connectional time together to build a regular rhythm of small wins.

In their live, individualized coaching calls with couples, Bree and Kevin will talk about what’s working and not working. “We’ve given them tools and a playbook to study, this is game film time with us,” Kevin said. “We go beyond surface issues and get to the root, through biblical truth, proven frameworks, and real accountability. If you’re willing to show up and do the work, breakthrough isn’t just possible. It’s expected.”

So far, among the hundreds of couples Bree and Kevin have coached, they’ve not had one get divorced. “We have a 100% success rate when they are all in – this is the key,” Kevin said. “Those who persevere, even in the hard calls … We’ve not lost one marriage.” For God’s glory and lifelong legacy.
