Spencer and Lisa are genuine. Their love for people overflows in everything they do. they have loved, supported, and encouraged our family. You won't find coaches that care more than these two.

Spencer and Lisa Breedlove's love story began in 1993 when they met as students at the University of Georgia. Their connection blossomed quickly, leading to their marriage on August 27, 1994, while still pursuing their degrees. Both graduated from UGA in 1995, with Lisa earning a Business degree and Spencer completing his Education degree.
 

The Breedloves have built a beautiful family over the years, but their journey has not been without profound challenges and heartache. They are proud parents of three adult children: Tyler, Jared (who is married to Kendall), and Elisabeth. In February 2006, they expanded their family by adopting Elisabeth from China. However, their path to parenthood was marked by tragedy when they experienced the devastating loss of a child they were in the process of adopting, a painful experience that tested their faith and resilience.

 

Both Spencer and Lisa have faced significant career challenges throughout their lives. Their journey has been marked by periods of job loss, affecting both of them at different times. These experiences have forced the family to navigate financial uncertainty and professional reinvention, strengthening their resilience and adaptability.
 

Spencer has dedicated over three decades to vocational ministry, a path that has included both rewarding experiences and difficult trials. Additionally, painful church experiences have challenged their faith and commitment to ministry, requiring deep reflection and healing.
