Who We Are
Travis and Kelsey are raising a beautiful blended family of five children — and somehow it always feels like life gave them two sets of twins. Their home is full of laughter, sports schedules, late-night conversations, and the beautiful chaos that comes with loving a big family.
Together they love coaching football and soccer, and live by a simple rhythm: Love hard. Play hard. Serve hard.
Their home is often filled with family and friends gathered around the table for weekly Bible studies, because they believe some of life's best moments happen when people slow down, share life together, and point each other toward Jesus. Their desire is that their lives reflect what it looks like to love like Jesus and be a light in both their home and community.
Kelsey serves as the Director of Development & Community Engagement for a nonprofit helping children and adults overcome life challenges through equine interactions, while Travis works full-time as an airplane mechanic. Though their careers look very different, both share a heart for serving others and creating meaningful impact.
You'll also see Sawyer's ALLABOUTHIM Collection throughout the website. At just 12 years old, Sawyer created this collection as a way to learn about business while sharing his faith and pointing others toward Jesus.
Prayer benches were born from something deeply personal. Prayer has transformed their home, strengthened their marriage, and carried them through both difficult seasons and joyful ones. These benches were created with the hope of encouraging others to create intentional spaces for prayer and experience the peace, connection, and hope that comes from spending time with God.
"Because sometimes changing your life begins with simply making space to kneel."
Why Kneel?
Creating Space for Prayer
In a world that is constantly moving, prayer often becomes something we try to fit in.
The Kneel & Rise prayer bench was created to help restore intentional time with God, a physical place to kneel, surrender, listen, and pray.
Kneeling is a posture of humility, dependence, and trust.
When we kneel before Him, we remember where our strength comes from.

How do I use the Kneel & Rise prayer bench?
The Kneel & Rise bench is designed to support both prayer and devotional time in a few simple ways.
As a Prayer Kneeler
Place the bench in front of you, resting your hands or forearms on the top surface while you pray. The angled design provides comfortable support during prayer.
As a Lap Table
Turn the bench over and place it across your lap while seated. The flat surface creates a stable space for Bible journaling, reading scripture, or writing prayers.
As a Kneeling Support Seat
You can also sit on the top of the bench with your knees bent and feet tucked underneath. This position helps relieve pressure on your knees and can make longer times of prayer more comfortable.
Many people keep their bench in a quiet prayer corner, using it as a simple reminder to pause, kneel, and spend time with God.
