Together, Jeff and Carissa Raderstorf founded Reset Ministries. They often joke that Jeff is the head and Carissa is the heart—but it’s really the integration of both that shapes everything they do.

Jeff is a lifelong learner and public high school teacher who cares deeply about helping people grow in their faith through Scripture and a closer relationship with God. He leads Reset’s weekly Community Groups, creating space for worship, prayer, communion, and verse-by-verse Bible study. Jeff holds a bachelor’s degree in English from ASU and a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary.

For over 25 years, Carissa has been helping people grow in one capacity or another—as students, athletes, and disciples. She’s passionate about awakening others to the presence of God and integrating emotional healing and relational growth into the discipleship process. She leads Reset full-time, guiding the day-to-day life of the ministry and overseeing the Reset Retreats, Reset Together, and Transformational Life Coaching. Carissa holds a master’s degree in education, and graduate certificates in professional counseling and executive coaching from the Townsend Institute at CUI. She has also completed the Narrative Focused Trauma Care Level I training at The Allender Center, focused on engaging stories of trauma and abuse.

Amber is a visionary who strives to share the Gospel through visual arts, writing, and music. She has a deep passion for helping others to heal emotionally, discover their life’s purpose in Christ, and connect with their Creator in unique ways by invoking their imagination. With an education in Biblical studies as well as creative writing, she focuses primarily on using storytelling to give fresh perspectives on Biblical concepts. Amber is a wife to Rob and mother of two young daughters, Rhea Rylan and Riley Ruelle.

Champ specializes in reading the room, offering comfort, and boosting morale. Off duty, he enjoys fetch, walks, and being the star of Reset’s social media pages.
