In this episode, Brad and Heidi Mitchell share wisdom from over 40 years of marriage and ministry on what it looks like to build a marriage rooted in prayer. We talk about why prayer is so impactful for both marriage and parenting, why it can feel intimidating to pray with your spouse, and simple, practical ways to begin. Brad and Heidi also share encouragement for couples who feel spiritually mismatched and how small steps of faith can lead to lasting change. Brad and Heidi are the founders of Build Your Marriage, a ministry dedicated to helping couples strengthen their marriages through Christ-centered resources, books, and conferences. Their book Build Your Marriage with Prayer is a fantastic resource to help you get started praying with your spouse!(00:00) Introduction to Marriage and Prayer(02:27) The Power of Prayer in Marriage(08:08) Overcoming Barriers to Prayer(11:59) Spiritual Mismatch in Marriage(16:46) Spiritual Warfare and Family Dynamics(19:29) Transformative Power of Prayer(25:12) Practical Steps to Start Praying Together(28:36) Resources for Strengthening Marriage through PrayerResources MentionedBuild Your Marriage with Prayer bookBuild Your Marriage websiteMarriage articles by Brad and HeidiInstagramFacebookOpen a LearningRX centerSummer Reading PicksPrefer video?
