About Greg & Deborah Brock

Greg and Deborah live in Pendleton, South Carolina. They have a daughter Kathrine who is sophomore in college and many "adopted" young married couples. Greg is the Business Manager at the Clemson University Outdoor Lab and Deborah is a Clinical Laboratory Scientist with a specialty in Hematology. She teaches at Tri-County Technical College.

Doors continue to open that allow the Brocks to travel throughout the state, country and world leading marriage enrichment conferences. Both are certified FOCCUS facilitators (Facilitating Open Couple Communication, Understanding and Study, a premarital counseling survey). Their desire is to encourage couples to seek the abundant life in their marriage; the life that Jesus came to provide. They continually share marriage enrichment ideas with one couple over a cup of coffee or with hundreds of couples in seminar settings.

Harry and Stefini have been married (through the grace of God) for 37 years. God miraculously saved their marriage after ten years, beginning their journey to a happy, successful marriage – but agree they are still on this never ending journey. They began working with LifeWay's Festival of Marriage over eight years ago leading workshops on Sexuality, Conflict Resolution, Prayer and Bible Study as a Couple, and others.

Harry is retired from the Air Force and is now in his second career. Stefini is a church musician playing the oboe. They agree with others that marriages do not stay constant – they are either getting better, or they are getting worse. They both have a passion to see marriages get better. Harry and Stefini have faced many of the issues and difficulties every marriage faces and feel called to marriage ministry and sharing some of their hard-learned lessons with others. They consider themselves "ordinary people", in that they are not in full time ministry and are excited to begin sharing here about everyday life.

Harry and Stefini have three grown children, two wonderful daughter-in-laws and three perfect grandchildren. They live in the Baltimore area.

LifeWay Christian Resources believes that God created the institution of marriage and family as one of the very first acts he did for the good of mankind. Marriage and family predate the church. Understanding that churches are made up of both individuals and families, LifeWay Christian Resources also recognizes that families may or may not be found in the traditional form of father, mother and children. LifeWay Christian Resources recognizes that the biblical model of marriage is "the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime" as outlined in the Baptist Faith and Message. "Family" may be made up of a single parent and children, childless couples, empty nesters, step-families, grand-parents raising grand-children, parents with "boomerang" children, adoptive families and other forms. LifeWay Christian Resources believes families are the foundation of the church and the culture. We also believe that strong, healthy marriages and families help make churches and culture healthy and strong.
