   EP. 50 | Why Is It So Hard to Pray With Your Spouse? — Brad & Heidi Mitchell

   Why can praying with the person you love feel so vulnerable? Maybe you both love God, but praying together still feels awkward. Maybe one of you wants a deeper spiritual connection and the other isn't there yet. Or maybe your marriage has been through betrayal or broken trust, and you're wondering what healing could even look like. In this Hope Huddle, we sit down with Brad and Heidi Mitchell, cofounders of Build Your Marriage and authors of Build Your Marriage with Prayer. Married for more than 40 years, Brad and Heidi don't come to this conversation with a picture-perfect marriage story. They share honestly about betrayal, broken trust, healing, and restoration—and how prayer became part of rebuilding their relationship. We talk about: Why praying with your spouse can feel surprisingly vulnerable• What rebuilding trust after betrayal can require• Repentance, humility, forgiveness, and grace in the healing process• Simple ways to begin praying together—even if it feels awkward• What to do when your spouse doesn't want to pray with you• How prayer can deepen emotional and spiritual intimacy• Why it's never too late to invite God into the broken places of your marriage Whether your marriage is strong, struggling, rebuilding—or you're carrying the pain of a marriage that couldn't be restored—this conversation isn't about pretending prayer makes everything easy. It's about inviting God into the real and complicated places. And trusting that He meets us there.

   Ep. 49 | Ann White on Courage, Fear, and Coming Out of Hiding

   Ep. 49 | Ann White on Courage, Fear, and Coming Out of Hiding Sometimes hiding doesn’t look like hiding at all. We can keep showing up, caring for others, and doing what needs to be done while protecting the places in us we’re afraid to let anyone see. In this Hope Huddle, we sit down with Ann White, author, speaker, Bible teacher, and founder of Courage For Life, a global ministry focused on biblical courage, healing, and discipleship, including bringing biblical resources to incarcerated women and men. Ann knows this journey firsthand. Her own experience of hiding, recognizing that something needed to change, and allowing God to lead her toward healing became the foundation for Courage For Life and the seven steps of courage she now shares with others. In this conversation, we explore: Why we hide and what can keep us there• What it means to commit to change• How strongholds develop and how we begin finding freedom• The pressures and obstacles that can keep us stuck• Why we cover up parts of ourselves• Replacing worldly lies with the truth of Scripture• The difference between self help and healing rooted in God’s truth• Grasping God’s love and embracing a life of grace Coming out of hiding takes courage. It begins with honesty about what we’ve been carrying and an openness to let God meet us in the places we have kept hidden.

   Ep. 48 | When God Allures Us Into the Wilderness

   Ep. 48 | When God Allures Us into the Wilderness What if the wilderness isn’t only a place we find ourselves, but sometimes a place God lovingly draws us into? In this solo episode, Sunny takes us into the book of Hosea and a tender picture of God alluring His people into the wilderness to speak tenderly to them. Sometimes we run to things that never satisfy. We blame. We measure God’s goodness by the circumstances around us. But the wilderness can become the very place where the noise quiets and we encounter the heart of the One who loves us most. In this episode, we talk about: Why God sometimes draws us into wilderness seasons• The things we run to that can never truly satisfy• What happens when we stop blaming and measuring God’s goodness by our circumstances• Finding God in places of trouble, affliction, and uncertainty• The wilderness as a place of being known and coming to know God• How God can transform a valley of trouble into a door of hope Maybe the wilderness isn’t evidence that God has abandoned you. Maybe there is an invitation waiting there. An invitation to be known. To know Him. To hear Him speak tenderly. And to discover a door of hope in the very place you never wanted to be. 💥 Subscribe, review, and share with a friend who needs this conversation.
