Marriage Reboot
A 2-Day Intensive
If your marriage feels stuck, strained, or disconnected, our Marriage Reboot is designed to help you break free from unhealthy patterns and move forward with a fresh perspective.
Unlike traditional counseling, which is an important and valuable resource, the Marriage Reboot is an intensive two-day, one-on-one experience with Sheepdog Marriage Coaches, Chris and Tina Ruediger. In just 48 hours, we help couples grab hold of practical tools to create real, lasting change—without prolonged sessions.

YADA Assessment
Personal Growth for Healthy Relationships
The YADA Assessment is an individual assessment designed to help people develop deeper self-awareness, whether they are working on a current relationship or preparing for a future one.
In Hebrew, “YADA” means “to know”—representing deep, God-centered connection. This tool helps you understand yourself better so you can show up stronger in your relationships.
Who is YADA for?
- Singles who want to build a strong foundation for future relationships
- Individuals in relationships who want to work on personal growth
- Anyone looking to deepen emotional, spiritual, and physical intimacy
This assessment provides insight into your personal strengths, blind spots, and relational patterns, giving you tools to grow as an individual and create healthier connections in your life.
