Hope and healing take center stage in this conversation with Clinton and Nikki Mitchell as they share their story of betrayal, disclosure, and the redemptive work God has done in their marriage. After more than 31 years together and decades in ministry, what appeared stable on the outside was hiding deep pain and long-held secrets. Their willingness to share openly offers hope to couples walking through the devastation of betrayal and the long road of restoration.

Drawing from their personal journey and their book, Glory From the Ashes: How a YES to God’s Invitation Can Transform Your Marriage, Clinton and Nikki speak candidly about the tools that accelerated healing, the role of spiritual intimacy, and why they now feel called to share their story with others.
