Marriage Radio — Organization Profile
Marriage Radio is a United States-based marriage education and relationship-coaching resource connected with Lee Wilson, also known publicly as Coach Lee. The organization provides articles, online courses, coaching options, assessments, and digital resources for people who are trying to understand, strengthen, or repair a marriage. Its public content focuses on topics such as emotional distance, reconciliation, divorce prevention, limerence, affairs, anxiety, and communication within marriage.
The core focus of Marriage Radio is helping couples and individuals navigate marriage crisis with practical guidance, structured learning, and relationship-recovery strategy. Its website presents Coach Lee as a marriage coach and relationship educator who works with couples facing disconnection, resentment, loss of trust, separation, and the fear that a marriage may be ending. The organization’s approach is educational and coaching-oriented rather than congregational, with resources designed for people who need clarity before making major relational decisions.
Marriage Radio is based in Nashville, TN and serves people primarily through online delivery. Its resources are available through web articles, video content, courses, workshops, coaching sessions, and online community links, allowing people outside one local area to participate. Coaching information on the site notes that sessions may take place by phone or Zoom and that times are listed in the U.S. Central Time Zone, making the service accessible to clients who can connect remotely.
The organization operates through several distinct pathways. Marriage Radio publishes ongoing articles on marriage-related issues, offers a Free Mini-Course To Save Your Marriage, provides marriage coaching sessions, and points users to the Relationship Reignite Workshop, also known as Marriage Reignite. The Relationship Reignite Workshop is described as an online workshop for marriages in serious crisis, including situations involving anger, lies, affairs, loss of feelings, limerence, sexual disconnection, or the possibility that one spouse may not be willing to participate. The site also offers a temperament assessment for marriage, designed to help couples understand behavioral patterns and relational dynamics.
Marriage Radio’s public resources are closely associated with Coach Lee’s broader relationship education platform. The site describes him as the creator of the Relationship Reignite Workshop, the Free Mini-Course To Save A Marriage, and other structured resources for people in relationship crisis. It also references his academic study in marriage and family at Freed-Hardeman University and Trevecca Nazarene University, along with more than two decades of experience working with individuals and couples facing separation, breakup, and reconciliation concerns.
People can engage with Marriage Radio by reading its articles, subscribing to Coach Lee’s video content, taking the free mini-course, booking a marriage coaching session, exploring the Relationship Reignite Workshop, or connecting through the Love Dynamics support community. Those who want help evaluating next steps in a difficult marriage can use the coaching and workshop links, while those wanting introductory education can begin with the free course, assessments, blog content, and social media channels.

Mission Alive — Discipleship Cohorts — Organization Profile
Mission Alive is a nonprofit ministry that equips leaders and communities to live on mission with God, with a particular emphasis on developing innovative communities of faith and resourcing disciple-making. Based in Dallas, Texas, Mission Alive describes its work as equipping leaders for God’s mission, including church planting support, coaching, and discipleship resources that can be used across a wide range of ministry contexts.
Mission Alive’s Discipleship Cohorts (often shortened to DCs) are small groups of Christians that meet regularly to encourage spiritual growth through shared rhythms of listening to God and following Him. Mission Alive describes the heart of Christian living as learning to hear God’s voice and follow into the world as disciples, and DCs are built as a reproducible tool that supports spiritual growth, church renewal, and leadership development.
A key distinctive of the Discipleship Cohorts model is its intentional structure paired with relational accountability. Participants meet weekly in a small group setting, encouraging one another in consistent practices of listening to God through prayer, Scripture, and mission. Mission Alive presents DCs as appropriate for both newer believers and seasoned Christians, emphasizing that the steady cadence of meeting together helps form habits that shape a sustained walk with God.
Discipleship Cohorts are also designed as a pathway that grows leaders over time. Mission Alive outlines multiple levels: Level 1 focuses on foundational disciple-making rhythms and group accountability; Level 2 develops leadership skills for those preparing to lead Level 1 cohorts; and Level 3 functions as an ongoing community for leaders who are multiplying groups, raising other leaders, and practicing spiritual discernment together. Many cohorts meet online in a consistent rhythm, making participation possible across geographic boundaries while keeping the group experience personal and interactive.
Because Mission Alive aims to help churches build lasting disciple-making culture, the Discipleship Cohorts are supported by training and materials. Mission Alive’s broader story notes that Discipleship Cohorts were developed to model basic discipleship principles as part of the organization’s expanding work to equip leaders beyond church planters. In addition, Mission Alive offers learning and training opportunities through its Stream Equipping platform, which includes Discipleship Cohorts-related courses and facilitator training options.
People can engage with Mission Alive Discipleship Cohorts by joining a cohort, pursuing facilitator training, and introducing the cohort rhythm within a ministry team or local church setting. Supporters can also partner through giving to help Mission Alive continue equipping leaders and resourcing disciple-making communities.

Siburt Institute (ACU) Cohorts — Organization Profile
The Siburt Institute for Church Ministry is a church-serving center at Abilene Christian University that exists to equip and serve church leaders for God’s mission in the world. Based in Abilene, Texas, the Institute supports churches and leaders through formation, resourcing, networking, and reflection, offering programs that strengthen both spiritual health and ministry practice.
Among Siburt’s offerings are cohort-based experiences—structured journeys where leaders learn in community over time. These cohorts are designed to pair guided instruction with practical formation, helping participants cultivate habits and frameworks that can sustain faithful ministry in demanding contexts. While Siburt hosts a wide range of gatherings and tools, its cohort pathways stand out for their emphasis on intentional community, spiritual practices, and long-term growth.
One of the Institute’s best-known cohort models is the Contemplative Ministers’ Initiative (CMI), a two-year program that helps ministers develop a contemplative life with the aim of serving as a calm, spiritually centered presence in their churches. CMI follows a multi-retreat structure across two years, with retreats designed to form ministers through stages that include differentiation, contemplation, incarnation, and integration. Siburt notes that each year CMI launches a cohort of 12 ministers, with a focus on lead ministers in the first half of their careers.
CMI is led by Houston Heflin and was founded by Randy Harris, who remains actively involved in spiritual direction and teaching connected to the initiative. Siburt also notes that Eddie Sharp serves as a conversation partner with each participant’s elders or leaders, supporting the relationship between the minister’s formation and the congregation’s leadership context. This combination of retreat-based formation and leadership support is intended to help ministers build spiritual stamina for long-term service.
Another cohort pathway is the Selah Certificate in Spiritual Direction, a 15-month program grounded in Christian contemplative disciplines. The Selah cohort is designed for those who sense a call to spiritual direction and who already have regular spiritual practices and a reputation for maturity and companionship. The program includes directed readings, connection with a spiritual mentor, residential retreats with other participants and staff, an integrative paper, and a supervised internship in spiritual direction. Siburt also clarifies that the certificate is not academic credit and should not be considered equivalent to a degree credential; it is intended to develop professional skills and spiritual knowledge for the practice of spiritual direction.
Taken together, Siburt’s cohort pathways reflect a consistent theme: formation that is relational, disciplined, and sustainable. Whether a minister is seeking deeper contemplative practices or training for spiritual companionship, these cohorts provide structured learning in community, supported by the Institute’s broader ecosystem of resources such as its podcast and publications.
Leaders and churches can engage with Siburt’s cohort opportunities by exploring program details, contacting the Institute for guidance on fit, and partnering financially to support the Institute’s mission. For ministers and leaders who want more than a one-time event, Siburt’s cohort model offers a repeatable way to pursue spiritual depth while remaining anchored in the realities of church leadership.
