POSTS STORIES REELS

Several months ago, Noah and I came across a reel where a couple was going to a coffee shop and having a “marriage meeting” at the beginning of every week. It inspired us to come up with our own version 💌

After church on Sundays while the kids nap, Noah grabs us coffee and we sit at our table and have our meeting with this agenda. We have a document that we date every week with the same questions, and type in our answers. We noticed the shift immediately - yes, in the way of overall peace, but also in how focused we were. This, in turn, helped open our hands to the blessings God had for us and our family. 🤍 by @marti.benda

Who, me? ☕️🤎☁️🐚

Have been obsessing over this trending swipe for a couple weeks now and had to make it. While I was designing it, I realized how much of myself and what I love doesn’t get seen over here. So what started as designing a little swipe as a creative outlet this week turned into a branding of myself. Because as a creative, isn’t that how these things tend to go? All that said - get ready to see a little more of Marti over here. I’m back posting, and I’m sooo me 🤎 by @marti.benda

Into the new ⛪️🤍

I was 20 years old when I walked into this building. I was in a lonely and confusing transition season. I didn’t know what was next for me or that my life could really be what i’d always dreamed of. I deeply wanted to find a place where I could belong. This building was that place. So many of my most sacred memories and life moments happened in this building. It’s where I got married. Where I dedicated my babies. Where I healed. Where I moved forward. Where I met my best friends. Where I was fought for. Where I fought for people. Where I learned and grew and clocked the most hours out of my 20s thus far. This place has seen my tears, my joy, my pain and my growth more than anywhere else. It’s seen me at my best. It’s seen me at my worst. I love this building. Saying goodbye to it holds so many emotions, but I am so so ready to go with NHC to Tulsa.

Tulsa - NHC is coming. We can’t wait to love you. 🤍⛪️ by @marti.benda

GREETINGS FROM GRANITE ROAD. A CREATIVE MEDIA COMPANY.📸🎥🤳💻

◾️We’re the Bendas. And we’ve spent 2 years rebuilding after tearing everything down and starting over. Heads down. Healing. Going back to what started it all… a love for media. And this time, we’re building it right. On a vision solid as stone. Jesus at the center of it all. This is Granite Road. by @marti.benda

And that was July - the gist of, at least 🦢 by @marti.benda

Kinda chic to do a full rebrand of your life. I fought so hard to be at a place where I could say “i’ve never been happier” with my whole chest. I’m so glad you’re here to witness it. 🤍 by @marti.benda

Our weekly coffee date has truly been the most practical thing that has changed our lives in the last few months, and I cannot encourage this enough. ☕️

After taking a year to just heal, and have our second baby, we were ready to run. But this time, we didn’t want to get ahead opf ourselves - we wanted to do it the right way. This idea of a weekly coffee date was on our minds after seeing a couple on instagram do something similar. And I am telling you that once we implemented it, everything changed. 🤍

Have you started this yet? Do you plan to? Let’s chat!

A walk to San Diego might not fix everything… but like you’ll never ACTUALLY know if you don’t try…. 🤷🏼‍♀️

July intentions 🦢

i’ve been sitting on these for a few few days, just praying through them. The one that just keeps sticking out to me as building something that lasts… And I feel like all of my intentions the last few months really feed into that one. Noah and I have been working diligently behind the scenes, and we are seeing God move in so many ways. We are not rushing. We are not striving. We are building something that lasts. We can’t wait to share more. 🤍

What are your intentions for the month? 🦢

but even if there was a peep, we got a 2 year old and a 6 month old on and off 2 planes in a day so we’re winning either way 🤭
