What kind of marriage are you building?

Great marriages start with a great foundation. Maybe you are newly married and would like to establish a firm foundation for your marriage. Or perhaps your marriage is good, but it could be great with a little relational investment. Perhaps your marriage is recovering from infidelity, neglect, or trauma and you need help navigating these serious issues. No matter where your marriage is right now, we want to help build your marriage, and make it last.

Brad & Heidi Mitchell are great ENCOURAGERS, and they’re excellent TEACHERS too. They know how to coach couples (as well as individuals) toward marital and spiritual health—even when the situation seems hopeless. Attend one of their events and you’ll be understood, inspired, and instructed on how to move forward in your relationships and in your life.

It was a delight to have Brad and Heidi at Edgewood! With an engaging, relatable style, they provided great, helpful wisdom to many marriages in our fellowship. More than that, their love for Christ and His church was evident! But the best recommendation I can give them is this: when we decided to hold another marriage conference, we invited them back to lead us again!

God used Brad and Heidi to impact our couples for eternity. Two words can accurately sum up their message: Authentic and Biblical. After hearing their testimonies, grace seemed even more amazing and redemption came to life. In the words of one of our couples, “The talk on forgiveness was worth more than three years of counseling.” They were a joy to work with from start to finish and we look forward to having them back again in the future

Brad Mitchell and his wife, Heidi, spoke at our pastors and spouses’ conference and Brad spoke at one of our main sessions. Brad and Heidi are an amazing couple. Both of them spoke with such transparency, humility and sensitivity. Our pastors are still talking about their ministry time with us. Brad has earned the respect as someone that I would never hesitate at asking again to speak to our pastors and their spouses or at one of our main plenary sessions. I highly recommend Brad and Heidi’s ministry to you

Speaking at Mount Hermon for one of our Couples Retreats for the first time, it soon became clear we will be inviting Brad and Heidi to return many times in the years to come. Transparent, biblical, humorous and two of the finest communicators we’ve had, they dealt with difficult subjects and were incredible coaches to numerous couples throughout the weekend. Our conferences are very cross generational and they easily bridged those in their 20s-70s, speaking with clarity and relevance. Wonderful weekend!

My husband and I have served as worship leaders alongside Brad and Heidi Mitchell  for many years at the annual Christian Law Enforcement Fellowship retreat in San Diego. Each year the fruit of their ministry is evident as officers return and give heartfelt testimonies of how the Mitchells have been used by God to transform their lives and marriages. Their message is powerful and life-changing for those who desire to build their marriage.

Our ministry to law enforcement brought Brad and Heidi to San Diego for our police marriage retreat because of how impressed I was with them and the approach of Build Your Marriage….Their openness, approachability, affable personalities, humility, sensitivity and empathetic hearts combined with compelling presentations were an immediate connect with us and our couples….Brad and Heidi tackle all of the most difficult and devastating issues that can and do attack marriages today, with the hope, love, joy and confidence that our resources in Christ are adequate. I highly commend their ministry to you, but be warned… they are addicting. Your conference won’t want to let them go either.

Brad and Heidi spoke at our recent Marriage Conference and did a fantastic job. Their presentations were biblically solid, gospel-centered, and very engaging. They spoke from their hearts and used many personal stories and experiences to provide examples and encouragement for real life application. We have had nothing but positive feedback regarding the time they spent with us. I give them ‘5 Stars’ and offer our highest recommendation and endorsement for their ministry.

Brad and Heidi are a marvelous speaking team who are willing to share their darkness as well as their light. Their personal transparency speaks to so many of our struggling couples today. Their positive and victorious attitude also inspires us all to be overcomers and to remember that “With God all things are possible. Brad and Heidi are the real deal. Their love, integrity and faith are contagious. Their story is powerful and their message is so needed for people in and out of the church. I highly recommend this ministry and look forward to having them back again.

At Stake Ministries had Brad and Heidi as guest speakers at our annual Love Found fundraising event. They did an excellent job in every aspect. From the first time they contacted us they were both personable and professional. They took extra measures to ensure the design of their talk met the needs of the evening, and the talk was wonderful. They had great chemistry, humor and left the audience with many helpful points to ponder. We would highly recommend them for any speaking event or conference devoted to building healthy and happy relationships.
