Engagement. For some, it feels like a dream come true. For others, it can feel overwhelming, stressful, or even scary. But what if this season could actually be a time of peace, wisdom, and preparation with God at the center?
This week on Meet the Mitchells, we’re diving into engagement—the season between “yes” and “I do.” We’ll talk about the real purpose of engagement, share red flags to watch out for, and give practical tips for both men and women as you plan for marriage.
Along the way, we share our own story—what helped us, what challenged us, and how God used this season to prepare us for the covenant of marriage. From setting healthy boundaries, to navigating wedding planning without losing your peace, to knowing the weight of your “yes,” we cover the lessons we wish more people talked about.
Whether you’re engaged right now, hoping to be one day, or simply curious about what this season can look like, our hope is this: that you’ll see engagement not just as wedding prep, but as heart prep—a chance to honor God, grow deeper in faith, and lay a foundation for a marriage that lasts.
