About Us
God has been incredibly faithful to us.
Over the years we have experienced His mercy in ways we never expected. Because of that grace, we’ve simply said yes to the ministry He placed in front of us.
But our story didn’t begin in a place of strength or clarity.
Both of us come from broken homes. Before we were married, many of our relationships were unhealthy. We believed love had to be earned through approval and acceptance. Neither of us grew up in church, and we didn’t know Jesus.
On the outside our lives looked fine. Internally, we were carrying fear, guilt, and insecurity. Those things slowly shaped our decisions and led to destructive patterns and a self-centered way of living.
When we moved toward marriage, we believed one of the most common myths—that once you say “I do,” everything else will somehow work itself out.
Of course, it didn’t.
Instead, we brought all of our wounds, fears, and habits into our marriage… and eventually into our parenting.
As two people who have walked through seasons of sin, shame, and confusion, we don’t pretend to have all the answers. Life can be hard, and the battles within our own hearts can leave us feeling exposed and overwhelmed.
But God.
His grace met us in places we didn’t know how to fix ourselves.
We are Sam and Ana Nunez. We’ve been married for 22 years and are the grateful parents of three incredible children. And like many people, we’ve been on a journey.
Along the way, God began inviting us to share our story. Not because we figured everything out or worked hard enough to change our lives.
The truth is, we didn’t.
But God did.
Our story is really about facing truth and learning to surrender. We came face-to-face with the deep layers of our souls that only His presence could heal.
We share our story for one reason: that God would be glorified.
He is the one patiently leading people into healing, freedom, and reconciliation, including us.
Maybe today you feel confused, alone, or stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break. Maybe you’re longing for a place where you can be honest without pretending everything is fine.
That’s why this ministry exists.
We help create a space where people can slow down, lay down their burdens, and encounter the love of God in a real and personal way.
There’s a place for you at the table.
And your Father is already there, ready to exchange what feels heavy and broken for forgiveness, healing, and restoration.
