About Us

We're Jason and Toni Butz. Let's connect!

We’re a bold, relational, and authentic couple who have walked through some of the darkest and lowest seasons of life together including addiction, abuse, anger, and more. Our once-floundering marriage and fading hopes have been transformed into a legacy of hope and redemption. We have emerged with a passion to support and walk alongside others in their journey toward fullness in Christ through spiritual maturity, healthy relationships, and living intentional lives of purpose. With this passion, we have founded Forge A Legacy, as a ministry devoted to seeing others take steps toward true victory in Christ.
