Meet The Mitchells

Hey friends! Matt and Marie-Claire here…along with four special guests this week 🙌This week’s episode is a first for us. It’s our first ever panel episode, and we sat down with four amazing Christian singles to have a real, honest conversation about singleness.We talk about what singleness actually feels like. The tension between being content and still desiring marriage. The uncertainty, the excitement, the hard moments, and the growth that happens when you choose to trust God in the middle of it.We also get practical. What should you be doing while you wait? How do you date without pressure or overthinking everything? What does healthy pursuit actually look like? And how do you prepare now for the relationship you’re praying for later?If you’re single, this episode is for you. God hasn’t forgotten about you. This season has purpose. Your life isn’t on hold.Our prayer is that this conversation encourages you to trust God’s timing, grow where you are, and step into everything He has for your life.Special thanks to our friends Allie, Dakota, Ben, and Isaac for joining us.

Hey friends! Matt and Marie-Claire here 👋This week, we’re talking about how to stop overthinking in your relationship…and start walking in peace.We break down where overthinking really comes from and how it can show up in dating. From forcing something out of guilt, to over-spiritualizing, to feeling pressure from others, we walk through real examples and how to navigate them with clarity and truth.At the end of the day, you can’t build a healthy relationship from a confused mind. It starts with taking your thoughts captive, choosing truth, and trusting God with your decisions.Our prayer is that this episode helps you find peace, confidence, and freedom in your dating life 🤍0:00 – Intro: Why You’re Overthinking1:30 – Where Overthinking Comes From5:30 – Taking Control of Your Thoughts13:20 – 4 Ways Overthinking Shows Up13:40 – Forcing It Out of Guilt16:15 – Over-Spiritualizing19:30 – Being Overly Critical25:15 – Pressure from Others28:00 – Trusting God & Your Desires32:00 – Final ThoughtsEmail us at [email protected] Meet the Mitchells:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

Hey friends! Matt and Marie-Claire here 👋This week, we’re talking about how to actually get a second date… and do it in a way that honors God.We break it down into three simple steps: how to ask, how to prepare, and how to show up on the date. From being clear and confident to putting in effort and having fun, we share both the guy and girl perspective on what really makes someone want to see you again.At the end of the day, dating isn’t about performing. It starts with knowing who you are in God and trusting His plan for your life.Our prayer is that this episode gives you clarity, confidence, and a fresh perspective on dating! 🤍0:00 – Intro: How to Actually Get a Second Date2:00 – Step 1: The Invitation (Be Clear & Confident)13:30 – Step 2: Before the Date (Plan It Well)21:00 – Step 3: On the Date (Confidence & Connection)30:30 – Final Tips: Boundaries, Discernment & Don’t Overthink ItEmail us at [email protected] Meet the Mitchells:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

Hey friends! Matt and Marie-Claire here 🤍Let’s talk about it: why does dating suck for so many people right now?In this episode we break down three reasons we see over and over again: people don’t know their identity, they’re unclear on their purpose, and they’re choosing the wrong partner.When you start with who God says you are and the calling He’s placed on your life, everything about dating begins to change.Our prayer is that this episode helps you approach relationships with wisdom, confidence, and a deeper trust in God’s plan for your life.0:00 – Intro: Why Dating Feels So Hard Right Now0:45 – The Real Reason Dating Keeps Failing1:25 – Reason #1: Identity (Know Who You Are in Christ)4:16 – Stop Looking to a Relationship to Fill What Only God Can7:01 – Why You Keep Attracting the Same Type of Person10:33 – Reason #2: Purpose (Know Where You're Going First)13:26 – When Your Calling and Your Partner Align17:59 – Reason #3: Partner (Choosing Someone Who Supports Your Calling)19:30 – The True Vision for Marriage20:20 – Final Thoughts + Next Episode PreviewEmail us at [email protected] Meet the Mitchells:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

Hey friends! Matt and Marie-Claire here 👋This week marks a new chapter for us. As we settle into our new space, we’re also stepping into a new direction for the podcast. We’re going back to where it all started, talking about Christian dating and relationships. And today, we’re diving into something so important: boundaries.In this episode, we share what boundaries really are, why God created them, and how they protect what matters most. We open up about our own journey with purity, the fences we had to put in place, and how real change starts in the heart. Boundaries are not about restriction. They are about protection, blessing, and freedom.If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or like you’ve gone too far, we want you to hear this: it is not too late. With God, all things are possible. There is grace. There is a fresh start. And the sacrifice you make now is so small compared to the blessing on the other side.Our prayer is that this conversation gives you courage to set healthy boundaries, trust God’s plan for your life, and walk in freedom. You are not alone. Let’s grow together 🤍00:00 – New Setup + New Season01:00 – Why We’re Talking About Christian Dating Again03:03 – What Are Boundaries?04:33 – Fences vs. Walls08:05 – Boundaries Start With a Heart Change12:53 – The Boundaries We Set in Our Relationship16:16 – How to Set Boundaries That Actually Work18:40 – Why Dating Too Long Can Make Purity Harder19:24 – Focus on What You Can Do, Not What You Can’t20:22 – Honoring God in Your Relationship21:40 – The Blessing on the Other Side of Obedience24:16 – The Sacrifice Is Small Compared to the Blessing25:09 – It’s Not Too Late.

Hey friends! This week, we’re sitting down with our dear friend, worship leader, songwriter, author, and speaker Georgia Williams for an honest conversation about faith, identity, and staying planted in God’s house.Georgia shares how radical obedience in the hidden place has transformed her life. From marriage and motherhood to ministry and leadership, she’s learning that when you strengthen your faith in Him, everything changes. With radical obedience comes radical blessing.We talk about church hurt, spiritual covering, and why the local church still matters. The church isn’t a country club. It’s a hospital. And healing begins when we choose to stay rooted instead of running when people are imperfect.If you’ve felt disconnected, discouraged, or unsure of your next step, this episode is for you. God never designed you to do life alone. Stay planted. Pray anyway. Trust His plan. He’s still setting you apart for a purpose.00:00 – Church Hurt & Why We Run00:46 – Meet Georgia Williams02:58 – College, Calling & Starting a Podcast04:52 – Leading Worship at 12 Years Old06:09 – Identity Shift: From Georgia Brown to Georgia Williams10:11 – Georgia Teases Her New Book “Pray Anyways"12:22 – Marriage, Ministry & Spiritual Warfare14:07 – Growing in Faith & Seeing New Sides of God16:19 – The Power of the Prayer Closet21:41 – Finding the Right Church & Spiritual Covering27:20 – Why Submission to a Local Church Matters31:29 – Why Being “Uncovered” Is Dangerous36:04 – Church Hurt: Stay Planted, Don’t Run40:25 – Reordering Marriage & God’s Design for Family46:16 – Faith, Obedience & Trusting God’s Process50:48 – Final Encouragement & Closing PrayerEmail us at [email protected] Georgia Williams:InstagramYouTubeFacebookFollow Meet the Mitchells:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

Hey friends! We’re back after a short break from the holidays, and we could not be more excited to kick off 2026 with our first episode of the year. This week, we’re sitting down with our friend, multi Grammy and Dove Award–winning artist, songwriter, and producer Mr. Talkbox (Byron Chambers) for an honest conversation about church hurt, obedience, and staying faithful to God’s plan.Byron grew up in church and spent years serving as a musician, both in ministry and in the world. Along the way, he experienced real hurt, disappointment, and moments that could have pushed him away from the church altogether. Instead of walking away, God invited him into a deeper season of surrender, prayer, and trust.In this episode, Byron shares how God used painful moments to refine his heart, strengthen his faith, and prepare him for what was next. We talk about forgiveness, submission, fasting, and why staying planted often leads to the breakthrough we’re praying for.If you’ve ever felt discouraged, misunderstood, or tempted to give up on church, this conversation will remind you that God sees you, He’s working, and His plan for your life is bigger than the pain.00:00 – Welcome Back + Meet Our Guest, Byron “Mr. Talkbox” Chambers03:15 – Growing Up in Church and Finding Purpose Through Music07:45 – The Power of Music, Worship, and the Anointing12:30 – Experiencing Church Hurt as a Musician16:20 – When Pain Could’ve Pushed Him Away From Church20:10 – Choosing Obedience Instead of Offense24:05 – Forgiveness, Submission, and God’s Refining Process28:40 – The Role of Prayer and Fasting in Spiritual Breakthrough33:15 – Walking Through Depression and Spiritual Warfare38:20 – Why Praise Is a Weapon42:45 – Don’t Jump Off the Bridge Too Early47:30 – Why Staying Planted in the Church Matters52:10 – The Power of Spiritual Covering and Pastoral Counsel56:40 – Serving in Church Keeps Your Heart Humble01:01:10 – Final Encouragement for Anyone Struggling With Church HurtEmail us at [email protected] Mr. Talkbox:InstagramTikTokYouTubeFacebookWebsiteFollow Meet the Mitchells:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

Hey friends! Matt and Marie-Claire here 🤍This week, we’re talking about something we all want, especially during the holidays: peace.For many of us, this season brings pressure. Family dynamics. Financial stress. Work deadlines. Loneliness. Comparison. What’s meant to feel joyful can quickly feel overwhelming.In this episode, we walk through what Scripture teaches about peace and why it starts with what we allow our minds to dwell on. We talk about guarding your thoughts, making wise yeses, and choosing peace on purpose, even when circumstances aren’t perfect.We also get practical about navigating family expectations, work stress, grief, and unmet hopes, while keeping our hearts anchored in God. Not by doing more, but by trusting Him more.If the holidays feel heavy this year, we want to remind you of this truth: God is near, He has a plan for your life, and real peace is available when your mind is stayed on Him.Our prayer is that this conversation encourages you to slow down, refocus, and experience the peace God has for you, right where you are.00:00:00 Holiday Stress Is Real00:00:40 How to Have a Peaceful Holiday Season00:07:11 Why Peace Starts With Your Thoughts00:08:28 What Scripture Teaches About Peace00:09:57 Taking Your Thoughts Captive00:12:10 Saying Yes vs. Protecting Your Peace00:14:11 Family Expectations and Holiday Guilt00:16:20 Work Stress and Learning to Rest in God00:19:05 Slowing Down and Enjoying the Life God Gave You00:20:39 Loneliness and Grief During the Holidays00:23:41 Comparison, Social Media, and Gratitude00:27:31 Guarding Your Heart From Materialism00:28:56 Finding Joy Through Giving00:31:22 Choosing Peace and Trusting God’s PlanEmail us at [email protected] Meet the Mitchells:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

Hey friends! Matt and Marie-Claire here. This week, we’re sitting down with our pastor and dear friend, Alvin Love III, for a conversation about something that has changed both of our lives in a real and practical way: the baptism of the Holy Spirit.Pastor Alvin grew up around church but spent years feeling confused, overlooked, and unsure of why the Holy Spirit seemed to move in everyone else’s life but his. It wasn’t until he learned what Scripture actually teaches that everything shifted. In this episode, he shares how God opened his eyes, removed years of discouragement, and ignited a new fire that transformed his walk with Jesus.We talk about what the baptism of the Holy Spirit is, why tongues matter, and how the Spirit empowers every believer—not just pastors or “super Christians”—to live with clarity, boldness, and a deeper connection to God’s heart. We also share our own stories of how the Holy Spirit brought Scripture to life, strengthened our prayer lives, and helped us step into the purpose God has for us.If you’ve ever felt confused, hesitant, or unsure about this topic, this conversation will remind you that God isn’t withholding anything from you. His Spirit is a gift meant to strengthen you, guide you, and empower you to walk out His plan for your life.There is real power, real intimacy, and real transformation available through the Holy Spirit—and we pray this episode encourages you to seek everything God has for you.00:00 — Welcome + Introducing Pastor Alvin01:20 — Why We’re Talking About the Holy Spirit03:00 — Marie-Claire’s Story of Receiving Tongues06:45 — Alvin’s Early Church Experience08:15 — Years of Waiting and Feeling Overlooked10:40 — “No English” — The Moment Things Clicked13:00 — What the Baptism of the Holy Spirit Actually Is15:20 — Salvation vs. Baptism in the Holy Spirit18:45 — Why Tongues Matter for Every Believer22:40 — Tongues vs. The Gift of Tongues26:00 — How the Holy Spirit Brings Scripture Alive30:05 — Why Following Jesus Without the Spirit Feels Hard34:00 — When and How to Pray in Tongues38:20 — Can You Be Filled Without Praying in Tongues?48:05 — How to Receive the Holy Spirit Today53:03 — Prayer for Viewers + Final EncouragementEmail us at [email protected] Pastor Alvin Love III:InstagramFollow Meet the Mitchells:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

Hey friends! Matt here. This week, I’m sitting down with my friend, brother in Christ, and Christian pop singer-songwriter Ben Moore to talk about the radical way Jesus transformed his life.Ben grew up in church but spent years wrestling with identity, shame, confusion, and the pressure to be someone he wasn’t. After chasing fulfillment in relationships, culture, and his own desires, he found himself empty, exhausted, and ready to give up—until God met him in a moment that changed everything.In this episode, Ben shares how the Holy Spirit opened his eyes to the truth of the gospel, led him out of a life that was destroying him, and began reshaping him from the inside out. We talk about deliverance, discipleship, healing from false identity, and learning to trust God’s voice above every other voice in the world.If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or unsure of who you really are, Ben’s story will remind you that God is able to restore what feels lost and lead you into the life He designed for you. There is real freedom, real identity, and real hope in Jesus.02:00 — Growing Up Christian but Feeling Out of Place05:00 — Bullying, Shame & Early Identity Struggles08:30 — College, Rebellion & Double Living12:30 — Hearing God’s Voice in Dark Places15:40 — Depression, Suicidal Thoughts & Searching for Truth18:20 — The YouTube Video That Broke Through21:00 — “The Veil Lifted” — Ben’s Salvation Moment23:40 — Leaving His Relationship & Learning Obedience26:00 — Starting Over: Discipleship, Healing & Painful Growth30:20 — Moving to Nashville & Finding Real Community34:10 — Discovering His True Identity in Christ37:00 — Ben’s Encouragement to Anyone Wrestling With IdentityEmail us at [email protected] Ben Moore:InstagramTikTokFollow Meet the Mitchells:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

Hey friends! Matt here. This week, we’re having an honest and hope-filled conversation about sexual purity and freedom with my friend and brother in Christ, DeAngelo Moss.DeAngelo battled sexual sin for nearly 20 years before God led him through a journey of complete healing and restoration. Now he’s on a mission to help others experience that same freedom. As the founder of Free by Truth and The Dating Project, DeAngelo equips Christians to overcome sexual struggles, pursue holiness, and build healthy, Christ-centered relationships.In this episode, we talk about breaking shame, renewing your mind with Scripture, and learning to face temptation through the strength of the Holy Spirit. DeAngelo shares the biblical strategies that set him free—and how God’s grace can do the same for you.If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of guilt, isolation, or discouragement, this conversation will remind you that God’s plan for your life is greater than your past. Freedom isn’t out of reach—it’s found in Jesus.0:00 – Temptation Will Come0:40 – Meet DeAngelo Moss2:20 – Why Purity Matters5:00 – DeAngelo’s Story of Freedom9:40 – Finding Healing Through Scripture13:00 – Building Spiritual Strength15:20 – How Purity Prepared Him for Marriage18:10 – Blessings on the Other Side of Obedience19:30 – God’s Goodness Over Condemnation22:00 – Walking in the Spirit24:00 – How to Stop Watching Porn28:00 – The Power of Awareness30:00 – The Seed of Lust33:00 – Creating a Plan for Freedom39:00 – The “Talk Me Down” Strategy42:00 – Expecting Temptation45:00 – Walking in Lasting FreedomEmail us at [email protected] DeAngelo Moss:InstagramFollow Free by Truth:InstagramWebsiteFollow The Dating Project:InstagramWebsiteFollow Meet the Mitchells:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

Hey friends! This week, we’re talking about something close to our hearts — identity, culture, and what it means to find who you really are in Christ. ❤️As an interracial couple, we’ve faced our share of questions and challenges. But through it all, God’s shown us that our truest identity isn’t found in our race, culture, or background — it’s found in Him. 🙌In this episode, we share our personal stories of healing, forgiveness, and freedom from the labels the world puts on us. From wrestling with insecurity and cultural pride to learning what “kingdom culture” really means, this conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t fully belong.We dive into Galatians 3:28, talk about what it means to lay down your identity before God, and remind you that you are so much more than the color of your skin, the family you came from, or the mistakes in your past.Whether you’re in an interracial relationship or just learning to see yourself the way God sees you, this episode will remind you:👉 You are loved.👉 You belong.👉 And your truest identity is found in Christ alone.01:15 – Finding Identity in Christ07:00 – Matt’s Story: Breaking Free from Labels11:45 – Marie-Claire’s Story: Healing from Bitterness13:45 – Laying Down Cultural Pride16:00 – What Kingdom Culture Really Means19:45 – Overcoming Racism with Love21:00 – Letting God Lead Your Relationships25:40 – Truth vs. Lies About Who You Are28:30 – Living in Your True IdentityEmail us at [email protected] Meet the Mitchells:⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

Hey friends! 👋 This week, we’re diving into one of the biggest questions we get asked: how do you actually stay in love once you’re married?We’re two years into marriage — still learning, still growing — but we’ve picked up some wisdom that’s helped us build a marriage that’s not just fun, but fruitful. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to love Jesus first (even before your spouse), why mentorship has been a game-changer for us, and a few practical rhythms that help keep our relationship healthy and full of joy.We’ll also share how we’ve learned to stop trying to “fix” each other, the power of confession and community, and why your marriage isn’t just for you — it’s meant to point people to Christ.Whether you’re single, dating, or already married, we hope this conversation reminds you that a strong marriage starts with a surrendered heart. ❤️Tune in, take notes, and let’s grow together!01:00 – How to Stay in Love03:10 – Loving Jesus First07:05 – Letting Go of Control11:15 – The Power of Mentorship14:45 – Healing, Confession & Growth19:05 – Practical Habits for a Healthy Marriage22:10 – Team Powwow & Communication24:10 – Praying Together & Building Purpose26:10 – Marriage as a Picture of Christ27:40 – Closing EncouragementEmail us at [email protected] Meet the Mitchells:⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

Engagement. For some, it feels like a dream come true. For others, it can feel overwhelming, stressful, or even scary. But what if this season could actually be a time of peace, wisdom, and preparation with God at the center?This week on Meet the Mitchells, we’re diving into engagement—the season between “yes” and “I do.” We’ll talk about the real purpose of engagement, share red flags to watch out for, and give practical tips for both men and women as you plan for marriage.Along the way, we share our own story—what helped us, what challenged us, and how God used this season to prepare us for the covenant of marriage. From setting healthy boundaries, to navigating wedding planning without losing your peace, to knowing the weight of your “yes,” we cover the lessons we wish more people talked about.Whether you’re engaged right now, hoping to be one day, or simply curious about what this season can look like, our hope is this: that you’ll see engagement not just as wedding prep, but as heart prep—a chance to honor God, grow deeper in faith, and lay a foundation for a marriage that lasts.00:00 – Intro: Why Engagement Matters01:34 – Red Flags Before Saying Yes06:08 – The Freedom to Say No08:08 – Engagement Tips for Men13:34 – Engagement Tips for Women20:23 – Wedding Planning & Boundaries23:59 – Emotional Preparation for Marriage27:22 – Keeping Perspective During Engagement30:55 – Practical Engagement Tips33:38 – Spiritual Perspective on Engagement35:51 – Purity, Boundaries & Confession44:45 – Closing Encouragement & PrayerEmail us at [email protected] Meet the Mitchells:⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠Website⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

Dating. For some, it feels exciting. For others, it’s confusing or even painful. But what if God’s design for dating could actually bring peace, clarity, and joy?This week on Meet the Mitchells, we’re talking all about dating with God’s purpose in mind. We’ll share three big lessons that shaped our own journey: the true purpose of dating, how to honor God through healthy boundaries, and the practical steps that helped us move from confusion to clarity.Along the way, we get real about our own ups and downs—including a breakup, forgiveness, and the role of mentors and community in helping us date well.Whether you’re just starting to date, wrestling with boundaries, or wondering how to know if someone’s “the one,” our hope is this: that you’ll see dating not as something to fear or fumble through, but as a season God can use to grow your faith and prepare you for the future He has planned.01:22 – The real purpose of dating05:09 – Our story: breakup, forgiveness, and reconciliation07:50 – Timing & compatibility in relationships10:04 – How to date God’s way15:18 – Boundaries that bring freedom & clarity19:08 – Choosing the right person & dating in community23:10 – Practical dating wisdom you can apply today26:11 – Breaking up well & keeping dating fun28:39 – Closing prayer & encouragementEmail us at [email protected] Meet the Mitchells:⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠FacebookWebsiteNewsletterJoin Our Patreon

Singleness. Some people love it. Some people dread it. But all of us have to walk through it.This week on Meet the Mitchells, we’re talking about how to steward your single season in a way that actually sets you up for freedom, joy, and a God-centered future. We're covering three essentials every single person needs to know: your identity in Christ, your purpose, and what it really looks like to live holy.Along the way, we get real about false idols (hello, “perfect spouse” checklist 👀), share stories from our own journeys, and remind you why becoming the person God’s called you to be matters way more than waiting for the “right one.”Whether you want to get married or not, this episode will encourage you to stop chasing quick fixes, delight in the Lord, and discover the satisfaction that only comes from Him.00:00 – Intro & setting the stage01:09 – Identity: Knowing who you are in Christ06:28 – False idols & attraction11:11 – Delighting in the Lord15:04 – Faith in action15:48 – Purpose: Be fruitful & multiply18:23 – The Great Commission & everyday discipleship21:09 – Calling vs. purpose21:17 – Holiness: Choosing God daily25:15 – Practical holiness & boundaries29:09 – Practical steps recap36:49 – Closing prayer & encouragementEmail us at [email protected] Meet the Mitchell’s:⁠YouTube⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Facebook
