book with us
At Traveling Together, we embrace a relational approach to spiritual health through our Four Quadrants of Care that create a comprehensive framework for healthy leaders, thriving churches, and Christian non-profit organizations. Explore each of the quadrants below to discover ways that we can walk with you towards Jesus-centered vitality.
EXPLORE SABBATICALS
Through decades of experience and training, we can coach leaders in the planning and execution of a sabbatical plan. We have also learned the pitfalls surrounding a sabbatical and how to navigate through those.

We desire to come alongside pastors, missionaries, and Christian leaders to help them move towards greater spiritual health and to grow in connection with Jesus.
EXPLORE CONSULTING
Our experience leading a large church and a NPO for over 30 years has given us a unique perspective on the health and sustainability of organizations. Our desire is to “travel together” with churches, missions, and Christian non-profits to help them create cultures and systems that lead to health for everyone, including the leader.

We are available to speak at church services, staff and leadership gatherings, lead retreats, and more. With over 30 years of communication experience, we bring insight, humor, authenticity, and Biblical integrity. We also have a host of resources available.
We were married in 1986, but our individual ministry began before that as we were both involved as leaders in ministry to children and students. Dave has been the Lead Pastor at New Life for over 30 years and Gena has been the Executive Director of a Pregnancy and Health Center for nearly 15 years. Through our decades of ministry, we have been privileged to walk alongside many pastors and leaders to encourage, support, and listen with empathy.

Anxious, spiritually stagnant and way beyond burnout, I needed something radically different. I prayed fervently and longed deeply for the kind of godly, Christian direction that I was reading about; but it eluded me. Until I met Gena. Within the first 15 minutes I knew God had led me right where I needed to be. She put words to what I was feeling that I didn’t even realize I was feeling and knew exactly how I had reached burn out. Gena has this gentle way of hearing what I'm saying while listening to God and then ministering His empathy, wisdom, compassion, and grace to me. I have never once felt judged or criticized. Instead, I have felt heard, understood, and accepted when meeting with Gena, both by her and by God. She has given me the tools to become more present to myself and more aware of Christ with me. I highly recommend Gena to anyone looking to have someone in their life to walk alongside them in their journey to greater intimacy with Christ and wholeness within themselves.
