0:00.0	5% of all couples pray together, and in ministry, it's only 6%.
0:04.3	Be a team, be unified.
0:06.4	And that's one thing I love that prayer does, because when you do have differences, you come before the Lord,
0:12.0	and you give it to him, and you really become more unified and reduce that conflict in your marriage.
0:18.2	Dear young married couple, a few weeks ago we released an episode on my Papa's
0:23.1	marriage advice before he passed away.
0:25.5	And one thing he said really struck a nerve and that was pray together as a married couple.
0:31.4	Over 1.6 million people listened to that advice, which was more than any other topic,
0:36.4	any episode or video we've ever shared.
0:38.5	So it clearly hit home.
0:40.4	So today, we want to go deeper on that subject with Brad and Heidi Mitchell.
0:45.7	They've been married for over 40 years.
0:47.9	They pastor in Cincinnati, Ohio.
0:50.3	Both have graduated from Wheaton College.
0:52.4	Brad actually has an MDiv.
0:54.0	And together they teach at
0:55.1	Christian marriage conferences and couples retreats. And what I love about this conversation is that
1:00.1	it's not some abstract idea about what it means to pray together. It's super practical,
1:06.3	incredibly doable. And if you're part of the 95% of couples who don't pray together and you genuinely
1:11.5	don't know how to start, stay with us because by the end of the episode, you're going to have
1:16.6	a very simple and realistic starting point that can help you begin today. All right, on to the interview.
1:23.2	Brad and Heidi Mitchell, thanks so much for joining us. Welcome to the podcast. Welcome.
