We would like to invite you to The Barn at Fly Away Farm for a day of refreshment, relaxation, and learning at our 5th annual Hitting Home – Ocala Marriage Conference. Author, speaker, and marriage coach, Dr. Raymond Force, will be teaching couples how to fight for their marriage without fighting with one another using our biblical and refreshing approach.
The Barn at Fly Away Farm is, by far, our favorite venue for hosting our marriage events. It provides a nostalgic setting for couples struggling to find their way in our fast-paced, technologically-driven world.
After over 10,000 counseling and coaching sessions, Dr. Force has learned the pressure points of couples that fail to connect and feel stuck. Couples find our material refreshing, thought-provoking, and devoid of many of our modern day labels that seem to further entrench couples into their issues.
This year, we are limiting the number of couples to 25. We have found that approximately 50 attendees is almost a perfect number for a marriage event. This allows us to enjoy more personal time with couples and conversate in a more relaxed setting between sessions.
This year, our 2027 Hitting Home – Ocala Marriage Conference will be on Saturday, February 20th, 2027, from 9 am – 1 pm.

Testimonials From Couples We Have Helped
My husband and I started life coach lessons with Dr Force around 2018/9 through 2025. Dr Force is caring, compassionate and biblically accurate. Each phone session helped open my heart towards the Lord and my husband, and it helped me work through childhood and religious trauma to enable me to prepare to serve in God’s kingdom. If you are struggling with trauma, relationships, church hurt or anything else, I highly recommend Dr Force and Hitting Home Ministries! This is definitely an anointed team!

I first encountered Dr. Force in 2019 through his book, which immediately drew me in with its compelling title and strong grounding in Christian principles and values. At that time, my marriage was struggling, and I felt an urgent need for direction. By spring 2020, my wife and I hit a breaking point—a serious conflict that led to our separation and her filing for divorce. This was an incredibly tough season, especially as we were raising our two-year-old daughter.
Desperate for help, I reached out to Dr. Force for counseling. Though I invited my wife to join me, she wasn’t ready to participate at that stage. Still, I pressed forward, working on myself with Dr. Force’s guidance, rooted in faith and trust in God’s plan. Even after our divorce was finalized that summer, I kept applying the practical strategies and wisdom he shared, focusing on personal growth and improving how I handled our broken relationship.
Five years later, I’m thrilled to share that my wife and I have reconciled and remarried, with Christ at the center of our renewed commitment. We’re raising our two children together, constantly seeking God’s guidance as we move forward. What once felt impossible—rebuilding our family after such a low point—became reality through faith and the tools Dr. Force provided. His counseling empowered me to take responsibility for my actions, reshape how I showed up in my marriage, and align our relationship with God’s design for holy matrimony.
Nowadays, I find myself sharing all I’ve learned with young men and other young couples I know, passing along the insights that transformed my life. Dr. Force’s impact goes beyond my own story; his work with Hitting Home is a vital resource for families aiming to thrive in line with Christian values. I stay in regular contact with him, and his continued support remains a blessing to my family. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Force’s services to anyone facing marital difficulties or wanting to strengthen their family in faith. His expertise and dedication reflect God’s heart for restoring and equipping families for His glory.
Thank you, Dr. Force, and thank you, Hitting Home, for making such a profound difference.

When life got messy and felt like it was impossible to get through the drudgery, Dr. Force at Hitting Home helped pick up the pieces. Having a spiritual perspective to help myself and family work through the emotional baggage was a God-send… Quite literally! Thank you!
– S.R.
What an amazing gift Dr. Force’s direction and guidance has been for our family. His conferences and his coaching sessions truly are a ministry—a service to the body of Christ to strengthen our relationships with our spouses! There is nothing else like this for anywhere near as affordable as Dr. Force is. In my opinion, he prices his time too low, but it’s not a business…it’s a ministry…and I am forever grateful to have found him after a desperate prayer and a simple Google search. My husband and I were separated when we first met Dr. Force, and now….we are not! That should tell you everything you need to know 🙂

This ministry has helped save my marriage and life. They are tapped into the Holy Spirit, and because of their overflow, we are blessed. Thank you so very much.
