Building Your Marriage with Brad and Heidi Mitchell
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, Karen Potter and Rob Stoddard sit down with marriage ministry leaders Brad and Heidi Mitchell to discuss one of the most overlooked yet powerful habits in marriage: praying together. While many couples pray individually, surprisingly few regularly pray as husband and wife—and the impact can be profound when they do.
Drawing from their new devotional resource and decades of marriage ministry experience, Brad and Heidi share why prayer helps couples navigate conflict, make decisions, weather difficult transitions, and stay connected to both God and each other. They explain how bringing challenges before God changes the dynamic of marriage by shifting couples from opposition to partnership and helping them pursue God's will together.
The conversation also explores common marriage struggles, including communication breakdowns, forgiveness, major life transitions, digital distractions, and sexual integrity. Through practical advice and biblical wisdom, Brad and Heidi offer encouragement to couples who want to strengthen their relationship and build a Christ-centered marriage that can withstand life's challenges.
Whether you're newly married, navigating a difficult season, or simply looking to grow closer as a couple, this episode serves as a reminder that healthy marriages are built intentionally—and that prayer may be one of the most powerful tools God has given us to strengthen them.
