We're The Teixeira's
Top 1.5% Global Podcasters, Spirit-Led Marriage Coaches, Best Friends, Parents, & Unapologetic Disciples of Jesus
We enjoy time in nature, good food, an afternoon cafézinho (IYKYK), reading, traveling, & ultimately living an all-around intentional life!
We are life-long learners who strive to live a slow, simple, and meaningful life, making Yahweh & those created in His image, a priority above all else.
Our deepest desire is truly to hear "well done, my good & faithful servant," after having lived the exact life & specific mission the Father created us for - empowering the beautifully designed institutions of MARRIAGE & FAMILY.
Though our marriage isn't perfect (what is "perfect" anyway?!), we're very grateful and blessed to say we have a healthy & thriving union that has only grown in mutual love, trust, and unity since its inception.
Within 5 short years, God has led us to learn so many vital lessons - lessons within what we believe to be the 3 MOST IMPORTANT pillars of a thriving relationship.
- Overcoming emotional triggers - letting the Father's love heal our hearts from childhood mother & father wounds that had been buried & ignored for years.
- Communicating effectively - direct, clear, and from a loving, genuine place without making assumptions, as well as setting & respecting healthy boundaries with one another.
- Embracing men & women's differences - appreciating how God created us each uniquely, and learning how to align with His perfect, complimentary design.
These 3 areas of growth have all played a major role in the beautiful union we have today, and now it is our passion to lead other couples or individuals through the sanctifying, yet extremely fruitful process we've personally gone through, with the ultimate goal of glorifying Christ & His bride through marriages all over the world!
We don't know how you found us, but we don't believe in coincidences. We're so glad you're here & pray you find the resources you need to equip & empower your current or future union in Christ!
With love,

THE YEAR WE MET!

THE YEAR WE STARTED DATING!
- A few months into talking more regularly, Haley addressed why we weren't officially dating yet since our friendship was so natural and felt like we already were. Nick rebuked fear & we were officially a couple!
- We started our relationship world's way, but not long after, Nick suggested we stop sleeping together. Though we fell many times, we felt the Holy Spirit convict us once and for all to both commit to a life of purity.
- Haley graduated with her MBA that August and we both moved to Raleigh, NC while we kept pursuing our individual relationships with Jesus.
-
THE YEAR WE GOT MARRIED!
- We visited Nick's family in Brazil the whole month of February & got engaged at the beach while we were there. It was an intimate proposal, with just us two!
- Returned home just days before the plandemic happened, & instead of succumbing to fear we trusted God by starting to plan our wedding.
- We both got baptized (again) at the beach 2 days before our wedding. Praise God for new beginnings!
- After 11 months of staying pure, we got married in Wilmington, NC on July 17th, only 4 months after getting engaged. We were eager for the Lord's covenant of marriage & truly felt like completely new people by the time we had sex for the first time as husband & wife. Hallelujah, He is a REDEEMER!

THE YEAR WE TRAVELED FULL-TIME!
- Learned & grew a lot in our faith and marriage. Lots of emotional triggers started to surface, exposing our mother & father wounds that still needed to experience Jesus' unconditional love.
- Moved to Florida, then after lots of prayer, got one-way tickets to Big Island, Hawaii. We lived there for 4.5 months, spent the last month island hopping, then got a one-way ticket to Brazil.
- We truly let the Lord guide us deeper with him in this season as we felt less stable physically. This time of travel also included lots of wrestling in our careers as we were seeking our true callings.

THE CALL!
- Received prophetic word that God was "blowing us back to prepare a home for our daughter." After 10.5 months of being nomads, we returned to the states and settled in NC.
