Where the Good gets better, & better becomes Best
We are Dr. Arthur and Dr. Esmie (Ez) Branner — partners in marriage, ministry, and coaching. With nearly 30 years of practice between us, we coach individuals, marriages, and families into the renewing of their minds and the restoration of their relationships.
To create the chemistry of love — through grace from above — by coaching individuals, marriages, and families into wholeness of mind, body and spirit.
A generation of restored families — equipped with the tools, faith and emotional wisdom to formulate success and achieve their God-given best.
Dr. Arthur Branner
Christian Counselor · Forgiveness Therapist · Former Army Chaplain
Born in Pontiac, Michigan, Dr. Arthur brings nearly 30 years of counseling and coaching to those he serves. He earned his Ph.D. in Christian Counseling from Trinity Theological Seminary, specializing in Forgiveness Therapy in relation to depression and anxiety.
A graduate of the Theological Seminary at Andrews University, he served as a Captain and Army Chaplain in the U.S. Army National Guard, deployed to Iraq from 2004–2005 with the 250th Military Intelligence Battalion. Across more than 4,000 missions, every soldier returned home — a fact he credits to the power of prayer.
He is an international motivational speaker, a published author, husband to Dr. Ez, father of five, and grandfather to sixteen. He believes the future of our society is shaped, more than anything, by the quality of our families.
“Good, better, best — never take a rest, until your good gets better and your better gets best.”
