About the Coaches

Your Coaching Team

As Dave and Penny's marriage nearly ended, Jesus gave them a promise, "Out of a united marriage will come the outflow of ministry". Not knowing how this would happen, He gave them a faithful couple who journeyed along side, instilling biblical truths that preserved, healed, and rebuilt their hearts and home. Today Jesus is fulfilling his promise. He gave Penny the name Imagine Beautiful and a coaching approach for she and Dave to work as a team, pouring into each couple biblical principles that unite, and grow marriages. Dave and Penny have been married 34 years. Their two adult children are married and have blessed them with three granddaughters.
