Pick any 5 of the 6 to build your church's custom program.

1

Stronger Connection

Ending the drift and restoring active connection.

Satan actively works to disrupt and destroy intimacy in Christian marriages, often starting with subtle, gradual isolation. In this message, couples learn how easy it is to drift apart amid the busyness of life, how to recognize spiritual and emotional wedges, and how to intentionally reverse the drift to rebuild daily pathways of deep connection.

2

Stronger Us

Valuing and leveraging personality differences.

When husband and wife are uniquely wired, it's easy to slip into trying to fix or change one another, a habit that sabotages relationship unity. This session helps couples identify, appreciate, and honor their inherent differences. Instead of letting differences cause friction, couples will learn to leverage them as complementary strengths that make them a far stronger team.

3

Stronger Peace

Biblical conflict resolution and personal heart transformation.

Conflict is inevitable in marriage, but perpetual division doesn't have to be. This message cuts straight to the heart of conflict, directing couples to Jesus for deep personal transformation. By allowing Christ to work within our own hearts first, we become more like Him, fostering humility, quick forgiveness, and lasting peace in the home.

4

Stronger Communication

Practical conversation tools and live application.

Many couples love each other deeply but simply lack the tools to communicate effectively through difficult issues. This session tackles common communication breakdowns head-on. Couples are taught practical, proven frameworks for healthy dialogue and are given dedicated time right in the session to exercise and practice the new skills they've learned.

5

Stronger Intimacy

Sexual intimacy, overcoming roadblocks, and building passion.

God created sex to be a beautiful, unifying blessing in marriage. In this candid and grace-filled message, we dive deep into physical intimacy. We identify the top 10 common "brakes" that hinder intimacy and uncover proven "accelerators" that foster healthier, more fulfilling, and joyful sexual passion.

6

Stronger Together

Shared kingdom vision, purpose, and unity.

A well-connected couple anchored firmly in Christ is a formidable force for the Kingdom. This closing message explores how husbands and wives, when operating in unity with Christ at the center, are exponentially stronger together and capable of accomplishing far more for God's Kingdom than they ever could apart.

โ€œTheir style is so fun and the way they interact with each other on stage shows such a connection in their marriage off stage.โ€

Weโ€™re so glad we were introduced to Matt and Angel Rigsby. Matt and Angel spoke at our annual Stronger Marriage One Day Conference this year and lives and marriages were changed! Their style is so fun and the way they interact with each other on stage shows such a connection in their marriage off stage. They tackled tough subject matter with ease and humor, really putting conference attendees of all ages at ease while also challenging them to lean into the tension of the subject matter. Our conference had couples ranging from age 20 to age 80 and all of our couples had fun, learned new things, and engaged with Matt and Angelโ€™s teachings. Some of our favorite moments were the intimate moments of connection that Matt and Angel wove in throughout the day. You could feel the Lord working on individual situations throughout the auditorium as couples bared their hearts and souls to each other. We are so thankful for this couple and their leadership in marriages across the globe. We have already scheduled them for next year!

โ€œIn our two decades of leadership, the Rigsbys stand out as two of the strongest voices in marriage ministry we have ever encountered.โ€

Having served in ministry for 20 years and recently launched a nonprofit dedicated to supporting young couples, my wife, Candace, and I hold the health of the family as a core priority. In our two decades of leadership, the Rigsbys stand out as two of the strongest voices in marriage ministry we have ever encountered.

Serving alongside them on staff at Victory Church has given us a front-row seat to their impact. We have had the privilege of joining them in counseling sessions and sharing the stage at various events, and in every instance, we walk away with new insights and tools. Their wisdom in teaching and their ability to empower couples to overcome marital hurdles through healthy communication is truly exceptional.

Beyond their professional expertise, Matt and Angel are remarkably humble, down-to-earth, and a joy to do life with. Their integrity is perhaps most evident in their own home; they are raising three Christ-honoring young men who are already leading effectively in their own right.

We believe that any organization, seminar, or marriage event would be profoundly blessed by their contribution. They come with our full and unreserved endorsement.

โ€œThey bring a gracious blend of biblical clarity and real-life experience, creating a safe, hope-filled environment where couples feel both challenged and encouraged.โ€

Matt and Angel Rigsby are highly engaging, authentic communicators. They bring a gracious blend of biblical clarity and real-life experience, creating a safe, hope-filled environment where couples feel both challenged and encouraged. Their teaching is practical, deeply pastoral, and centered on strengthening connection, communication, and Christ-centered unityโ€”making them an excellent fit for congregations and conferences seeking both depth and accessibility in a marriage event.

โ€œRelatable, engaging, funny, transparent, and biblical โ€“ the Rigsbys were the perfect choice for our church!โ€

Even as a pastor, Iโ€™m skeptical of marriage conferences. Will it be hokey? Will I have to do some weird activity? How pleased I was to find that was not the case with Matt and Angel Rigsby! Relatable, engaging, funny, transparent, and biblical โ€“ the Rigsbys were the perfect choice for our church! As a bonus, Matt and Angel invested personally in our people before, between, and after the sessions. Though they were with us less than 24 hours, they felt like longtime friends when they left.

โ€œThey created an environment that was honest, hopeful, and deeply Christ centered without pressure, gimmicks, or awkward moments.โ€

Our church knew we needed to take a meaningful step forward in supporting marriages, and inviting Matt and Angel Rigsby was the perfect starting point. They created an environment that was honest, hopeful, and deeply Christ centered without pressure, gimmicks, or awkward moments. Couples felt seen, encouraged, and practically equipped, no matter what season of marriage they were in.

One of the things we appreciated most was how present and approachable Matt and Angel were. They spent time in the lobby, lingered in conversations, and made it easy for couples to engage personally. That relational investment built trust and opened doors for real connection. Their teaching naturally laid a foundation for ongoing care rather than a one time event.

โ€œMany shared that Matt and Angelโ€™s teaching gave language to struggles they had faced for years and offered renewed clarity and direction for moving forward together.โ€

Our nonprofit, Impact 1, recently hosted a Pre-Valentineโ€™s social for married couples featuring three teaching sessions centered on strengthening marriages through vision, values, and intentional connection. Matt and Angel presented on โ€œConnecting on Purpose,โ€ and their session was outstanding in both substance and delivery.

From the moment they began speaking, they connected with the audience in a way that was authentic, relatable, and deeply impactful. Drawing from over 26 years of marriage and ministry experience, they skillfully blended biblical truth with practical application. Their transparency about their own journey, including overcoming broken family backgrounds and early marital challenges, created an atmosphere of trust and hope that resonated strongly with the couples in attendance. They communicated principles in a way that felt actionable, and Spirit-led. Couples left their session not only inspired, but equipped with practical tools to intentionally pursue deeper connection in their marriages.

The feedback from couples was positive. Many shared that Matt and Angelโ€™s teaching gave language to struggles they had faced for years and offered renewed clarity and direction for moving forward together.

We confidently recommend Matt and Angel Rigsby for conferences, church events, marriage retreats, and leadership gatherings. They are not only gifted communicators, but true shepherds of families who carry a deep burden to see marriages restored, strengthened, and aligned with Godโ€™s design.

Any organization seeking speakers who combine biblical conviction, real-life wisdom, and practical marriage tools will be richly blessed by their ministry.

โ€œPlease bring Matt and Angel to your church. You will love them, your people will connect with them, and I believe they will make a lasting impact.โ€

We highly recommend Matt and Angel Rigsby to any church seeking speakers who can speak truthfully, practically, and passionately about marriage. Our church absolutely loved having them with us! They came to us at the last minute, but they graciously made it work, and from the moment they arrived, they were a blessing. They were clearly led by the Spirit of God and brought solid biblical content together with practical illustrations, real-life experiences, and plenty of fun. They made the conference exciting, engaging, and incredibly relational.

One of the things we appreciated most was how genuinely they connected with people. They didn't simply speak from the platform and leave. They sought people out, talked with them, listened to them, and made meaningful connections. They were especially relational with our marriage team and became more than just conference speakersโ€”they became friends. Even though we originally brought them in simply for a marriage conference, they went to dinner with my wife, our marriage team, and me at Genova's. During that time, Matt shared some great ideas about how our church could continue to strengthen and expand our marriage ministry. His insight was practical, helpful, and incredibly valuable.

At our church, we deeply value marriage and believe God has called us to help couples do marriage right and do it well. God values marriage, and we believe He is using Matt and Angel in a powerful way to help couples who are simply trying to figure it out. We loved them so much that we are already planning to bring them back next yearโ€”and this time, we want to expand our reach to more people in our church and throughout our community. That says a lot about how highly we think of them.

Please bring Matt and Angel to your church. You will love them, your people will connect with them, and I believe they will make a lasting impact. And don't be surprised if, after they leave, you're already thinking about how you can get them back next year!
