Hear our story.
Side By Side was formed after God intervened in the painful, despair-filled marriage of Steve and Lisa Goldberg. He transformed their story into one of hope and faith. What began as a musical testimony of God’s goodness is now a growing non-profit ministry focused on serving hurting marriages as they navigate the pain of betrayal.
In this video, Steve and Lisa Goldberg share openly and honestly about their marriage journey.
Been married for 4 months and it’s already been tough. Grateful to God for your transparency. I didn’t want to come tonight, and this touched me and far exceeded my expectations. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much! We visited this church “by accident” last Sunday and heard about your event. I know God was in it. My husband and I are Christians and have been married for almost 13 years. I have not been the godly wife that I should have been and last month my husband told me he didn’t love me and that he wants to leave when the kids are older. Like you, I have been fighting for my marriage. My husband came with me tonight…
As newlyweds, this was extremely insightful and encouraging. We both have similar family backgrounds as you, being a product of divorce. Your God-filled story and testament to His goodness helps us to keep seeking and hoping for a different story!
I was so moved and learned so much through Steve and Lisa’s story. Listening to Lisa talk about how her relationship with God and prayer life was so strong during such a difficult time in her life was so encouraging to me and made me think of how often do I, in those hard times, really lean on the Lord. This is such an amazing story of two people and their walk with God through the hard times.
I was so blessed by watching your video. (Lisa) was so wise with how she spoke and delivered the pain and hurt as well as the problems she brought to the marriage. Through the embarrassment of “the reveal” you (Steve) presented a humility like I have never seen. The most impressive thing is the extent you and Lisa went to save your marriage. I don’t often see couples give up everything to win.
What a blessing to hear your testimony tonight!! It was very inspirational and I was truly touched to the core! God spoke to me in so many ways through you!! I pray for His continued blessings upon this ministry. I’m sad my husband couldn’t make it tonight. Keep doing this! heart emoticon!
Watching the way God miraculously worked through their marriage changed me for the better. It helped me see that God has a plan for all of us, even in our hard times.
Steve and Lisa’s heart-wrenching vulnerability coupled with their light-hearted humor brought us through the full range of emotions.
The willingness of both Steve and Lisa to share with complete transparency the ugly details of their marriage problems and the dedication they both put forth to reconcile was so inspiring to me. There is hope. Thank you to Steve for his open and honest admission of the affair, providing an example for most of us men who are reluctant to come forward and admit we have made a mistake.
This gave me a real world example of a healthy functioning Christian marriage. It also gave me a realistic look at how much work it takes to fight for that type of marriage.
This was a reminder that love isn’t an emotion, it’s a choice, especially when marriage is hard and I am not feeling appreciated or loved well by my husband.
It was refreshing to learn your story as a couple going through life together. It’s encouraging to see that by trusting in God and coming together, many hardships and trials can be overcome. I loved the visual of God holding each of your hands separately while you still holding each others hands. I have seen that image in my mind over the past several days and it has brought me much comfort.
Your honesty and openness about your marriage just blew me away. It wasn’t what I expected and it made me realize that God was in control of my marriage when my husband and I went through a similar situation. I prayed a lot during that time, and I had a lot of people praying for me. My husband is a Christian now and our relationship is stronger than ever and I know God chose him for me.
It’s great to be reminded that the Lord can do big things in our marriage. We’ve been through some hard times so I am encouraged that things can get better.
I am so encouraged by your story and feel like I could be more God-honoring in my marriage.
Your story has helped me to see that it’s ok to not always be ok…and that God is always there. I can praise Him and thank Him even in the hard times.
I was blown away. Steve and Lisa’s story of surviving marriage in the trenches of a heart broken relationship brought me to tears. God has worked through Lisa and Steve to bring restoration to my own relationship with my husband. Their approach on hard topics is invigorating and powerful. We use the knowledge that we walked away with after attending Side by Side on a daily basis. It has transformed us.
Last night was my first time experiencing Side by Side and it was amazing! Lisa and Steve are so real, raw, vulnerable, and honest. Everything about the event from the decor to the food to the way the presentation comes full circle at the end was done so thoroughly and with meaningful intention. I could see all of the hard work they put into this event and ministry. Steve and Lisa are such a quality couple fulfilling their God-given calling beautifully.
Words don’t even begin to express our appreciation for you! You have encouraged and challenged us in ways that only eternity will know and reveal. Thank you!
Last night Steve and Lisa shared their story, sang their hearts out and inspired us married couples to keep on keeping on…..marriage is a beautiful, kind of fluid, kind of can’t quite get my head and heart and hands around it kind of thing, and as we know, so very worth it! Thank you Steve and Lisa for an inspiring and honest evening of love, hope and joy in the marriage journey.
Thank you for your honesty, truth and love.Thank you so much for always being willing to chat and provide hope and resources to us. I just love what God has done for your marriage and what He is continuing to do through you. The way you allow God to use you both is such an inspiration. We are so thankful for Side By Side!
