About Thomas and Lysandra Thomas and Lysandra Osterkamp have a heart to reach people where they are with the love of Jesus and help them take their next step in their walk with God. They enjoy sharing the truths of the Bible in an authentic yet practical way, because they believe that it’s not enough for us to know what the Bible says, we have to know what to do with what it says.

They speak regularly across the country and internationally at marriage conferences and retreats, youth camps and conferences, pastor’s conferences, as well as church services and events. Marriage and family are their favorite topics to talk about. They even host a weekly podcast called the Family Meeting that is all about family relationships. Thomas and Lysandra have been together for 24 years and married for 17. They have four daughters, Kathryne, Isabella, Abigail, and Violet Rose. They love to travel and go on family adventures. Out of all the places that they have been and all of the things that they have done, their two favorites are walking on the beach and hiking in the mountains. ****Covid-19 Update.
