challenges of raising children with faith and love.
MOTHERHOOD
Grounded in her own journey of faith, Denette speaks on the importance of knowing who we
are in Christ. With vulnerability and hope, she encourages others to live from a place of true identity, free from comparison, fear, or striving,
so they can walk boldly in the life God has
designed for them

Kurt’s Core Topics

He equips men to cultivate a life rooted in integrity, empathy, and purpose, which in turn creates better husbands, fathers, and males.

FATHERHOOD
Kurt brings clarity to the role of servant leadership, helping men step into influence that begins within their marriages and families and ripples outward into their churches, workplaces, and communities.

LEGACY
What They Love Tackling Together
COMMUNICATION
Every strong marriage begins with communication, but not just talking. Kurt and Denette
help couples replace constant misunderstandings and frustration with clarity, empathy,
and connection. By learning how to truly hear and be heard, couples
discover the joy of conversations that build trust, respect, and unity.
CREATING LASTING INTIMACY
Intimacy is more than physical, it’s emotional closeness, spiritual unity, and
a safe space where couples can be fully known and loved. Kurt and Denette
provide practical tools and encouragement to rekindle passion, strengthen
connection, and nurture the kind of intimacy that fuels lifelong joy.
REBUILDING TRUST
Trust can be shattered in a moment, but it can also be rebuilt with time, courage,
and intentional steps. Drawing from their own story and years of coaching, Kurt
and Denette walk couples through the process of healing from betrayal, restoring
confidence in one another, and creating a marriage that’s stronger on the
other side of pain.
THE DEEPEST NEEDS
Beneath every marriage are four core needs: identity, acceptance, security, and
purpose. When left unmet, marriages struggle under the weight of insecurity
and disconnection. Kurt and Denette help individuals first embrace these truths
for themselves, and then show how meeting these needs within the marriage
can transform it into a partnership built on strength, grace, and lasting fulfillment.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Broken For Better is truly a blessing to wherever the Lord leads them. As a pastor of a church, you want to bring in people who will help what is already being done at the church and having Denette and Kurt come and be part of our marriage conference was truly a blessing. From our first phone call together to them investing into the people of our church, nothing skipped a beat and they actually moved us forward in big ways. From young couples to older - everyone was able to relate, learn and grow from the time with Broken For Better. I cannot recommend them enough. Have them out to invest into your congregation, you will be blessed and you will move the needle forward for marriages in your church.
