The world begs for us to stay busy, stay stuck in stress, and feel defeated by the enemy's tactics. But this isn't how Jesus designed us to live. How will you live life in a way that leads to a healthy and vibrant marriage? What will your legacy be as a family?  This community group is ideal for both newly marrieds and for those in mid-stages of life (40's-early 50's) who don't want to just go through the motions of marriage, are ready to journey together with others to learn, grow in faith, and live in victory! This group is led by Christine Kennedy, Jason Kennedy, Luke Towles and Faith Towles.

Christine and Jason have been married for 24 years. They've been part of Waymaker for a little over five years. In their spare time, you'll find them hiking, fishing or doing anything they can outdoors. Jason works for VDOT overseeing sub-contract work and Christine consults and facilitates learning and growth for non-profits and businesses through her work at the Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance. Their love for seeing people connect and reconnect with God led to them opening The Sanctuary Farm and Retreat Center in Bedford County where they've hosted hundreds of individuals and couples in the past three years.

Luke and Faith Towles have been married for 21 years. They have been a part of Waymaker for the past 10 years. Luke and Faith enjoy family movie nights, grilled pizza on the back deck with their 3 kids (ages 10,17, and 19), and time together at the lake. Professionally and passionately- Luke serves the Lynchburg community through his leadership at Pinnacle Financial Partners and Faith serves with the team at Freedom 4/24 where she brings prevention education to students and parents throughout our region.

For years Christian women have been told to "have more faith" or "pray more" to bring about peace from depression and anxiety. But what does that mean for the momma who can't stop worrying or struggles to see the joy in each day? This group is designed specifically for moms who wish to examine what Scripture says about peace while juggling the realities of life, motherhood, anxiety and depression. We will discuss how it impacts our physical and spiritual life as well as form a supportive community of women who feel understood and far less alone on our journey to peace.

Brittany is a Lynchburg native with a background in social work. She is married to her husband, Adam, of nine years and they have a sweet five year old little boy with another on the way. Brittany has battled generalized anxiety since the fourth grade, but it really came to head after the birth of her son and the diagnosis of postpartum anxiety. It was through supportive friends at Waymaker that helped Brittany identify the postpartum anxiety and seek out treatment to start the path of healing. Brittany believes that no one should journey the path to healing alone and it's through groups such as Restored that we are able to connect, support, and shake the fears that come with anxiety and depression. While it is a daily journey on the path to healing, Brittany knows that there is hope for each of us.

Kaylah Cobb loves her Heavenly Father, is a wife, mother to two wonderful boys and a fierce friend. Her road to and through motherhood has been riddled with obstacles and it certainly has not been easy, but Jesus has seen her through! After becoming part of the Resorted Group here at Waymaker in 2019, she discovered an even deeper love for connecting with other Momma's who need support through the early stages of motherhood & the battles with anxiety/birth trauma/postpartum depression. Kaylah is excited to be a co-leader of this new group & is looking forward to seeing relationships build and Jesus move in amazing ways!
