In this episode, Clint Davis interviews Brad and Heidi Mitchell about their journey through marriage, forgiveness, and the transformative power of prayer. They share practical insights on praying together, building purpose in marriage, and overcoming challenges with faith and grace. Brad and Heidi Mitchell are the co-founders of Build Your Marriage, a ministry dedicated to helping couples create Christ-centered marriages. Out of a season of deep brokenness and God’s powerful restoration, their marriage was rebuilt—and that testimony became the heart behind the Build Your Marriage ministry. Married 42 years, they draw from nearly four decades of experience in pastoral ministry. Brad and Heidi bring honest, biblical wisdom to the journey of developing a lasting marriage. Brad and Heidi have shared the stage with Lee Strobel as speakers, and their personal story is featured in his best-selling book, The Case for Grace. The Mitchells lead Build Your Marriage conferences and speak at other marriage events around the world. Their published works include Build Your Marriage with Couples of the Bible, a Bible study for couples; Ruined to Recovery: Help When the Affair Is Discovered; and their latest book, Build Your Marriage with Prayer.
