DISCLAIMER: Our promise to tell the whole truth while respecting our previous relationships.
Call it divine timing or the Holy Spirit’s GPS—LaShan and Makela share the awkward, intentional moment that led to love. SPOILER: there are no coincidences.
The best love stories don’t always start with sparks—sometimes it’s smoke and static! LaShan drops the speech that had Makela clutchin’ her pearls from day one.
So… what did First Lady Mims really think of Minister Mims at first? Makela spills the hilarious truth about why she was side-eyein’ her future husband from the jump!
A single man in church? Y’all, that’s rarer than a short sermon! LaShan and Makela dish on love, “I ain’t gettin’ married again” vows, and how friendship turned into favor.
Prayer partners? Music buddies? Or something more? Listen in as we spill the tea on how a “just friends” vibe turned into somethin’ heaven might’ve had a hand in.

Disciples, buckle up! This episode is a grown-up, faith-filled conversation about dating while serving in ministry—and it’s one you don’t want to miss.
We’re taking you back to the beginning of our love story: the friendship, the courtship, and eventually, the engagement. We revisit those early days with honesty and laughter, sharing the real joys and challenges of building a relationship while navigating our callings.
You’ll hear where we each were in our faith journeys and romantic lives when we met, the unexpected (and hilarious!) story of our first encounter, and how God used fellowship to form the foundation of our bond.
This episode also starts a four-part series exploring how we grew together in love, trust, and purpose. And if you’ve ever been knocked down by a “Love TKO,” we’ve got a word of hope just for you before you decide to give up on love, press play, and join us on The Second Time Around Podcast.
