    Mr. Talkbox on Overcoming Church Hurt and Staying Planted | Ep 11

    Hey friends! We’re back after a short break from the holidays, and we could not be more excited to kick off 2026 with our first episode of the year. This week, we’re sitting down with our friend, multi Grammy and Dove Award–winning artist, songwriter, and producer Mr. Talkbox (Byron Chambers) for an honest conversation about church hurt, obedience, and staying faithful to God’s plan. Byron grew up in church and spent years serving as a musician, both in ministry and in the world. Along the way, he experienced real hurt, disappointment, and moments that could have pushed him away from the church altogether. Instead of walking away, God invited him into a deeper season of surrender, prayer, and trust. In this episode, Byron shares how God used painful moments to refine his heart, strengthen his faith, and prepare him for what was next. We talk about forgiveness, submission, fasting, and why staying planted often leads to the breakthrough we’re praying for. If you’ve ever felt discouraged, misunderstood, or tempted to give up on church, this conversation will remind you that God sees you, He’s working, and His plan for your life is bigger than the pain. 00:00 – Welcome Back + Meet Our Guest, Byron “Mr. Talkbox” Chambers03:15 – Growing Up in Church and Finding Purpose Through Music07:45 – The Power of Music, Worship, and the Anointing12:30 – Experiencing Church Hurt as a Musician16:20 – When Pain Could’ve Pushed Him Away From Church20:10 – Choosing Obedience Instead of Offense24:05 – Forgiveness, Submission, and God’s Refining Process28:40 – The Role of Prayer and Fasting in Spiritual Breakthrough33:15 – Walking Through Depression and Spiritual Warfare38:20 – Why Praise Is a Weapon42:45 – Don’t Jump Off the Bridge Too Early47:30 – Why Staying Planted in the Church Matters52:10 – The Power of Spiritual Covering and Pastoral Counsel56:40 – Serving in Church Keeps Your Heart Humble01:01:10 – Final Encouragement for Anyone Struggling With Church Hurt Email us at connect@meetthemitchells.org Follow Mr. Talkbox: Instagram TikTok YouTube Facebook Website Follow Meet the Mitchells: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

    How to Protect Your Peace This Holiday Season | Ep 10

    Hey friends! Matt and Marie-Claire here 🤍 This week, we’re talking about something we all want, especially during the holidays: peace. For many of us, this season brings pressure. Family dynamics. Financial stress. Work deadlines. Loneliness. Comparison. What’s meant to feel joyful can quickly feel overwhelming. In this episode, we walk through what Scripture teaches about peace and why it starts with what we allow our minds to dwell on. We talk about guarding your thoughts, making wise yeses, and choosing peace on purpose, even when circumstances aren’t perfect. We also get practical about navigating family expectations, work stress, grief, and unmet hopes, while keeping our hearts anchored in God. Not by doing more, but by trusting Him more. If the holidays feel heavy this year, we want to remind you of this truth: God is near, He has a plan for your life, and real peace is available when your mind is stayed on Him. Our prayer is that this conversation encourages you to slow down, refocus, and experience the peace God has for you, right where you are. 00:00:00 Holiday Stress Is Real 00:00:40 How to Have a Peaceful Holiday Season 00:07:11 Why Peace Starts With Your Thoughts 00:08:28 What Scripture Teaches About Peace 00:09:57 Taking Your Thoughts Captive 00:12:10 Saying Yes vs. Protecting Your Peace 00:14:11 Family Expectations and Holiday Guilt 00:16:20 Work Stress and Learning to Rest in God 00:19:05 Slowing Down and Enjoying the Life God Gave You 00:20:39 Loneliness and Grief During the Holidays 00:23:41 Comparison, Social Media, and Gratitude 00:27:31 Guarding Your Heart From Materialism 00:28:56 Finding Joy Through Giving 00:31:22 Choosing Peace and Trusting God’s Plan Email us at connect@meetthemitchells.org Follow Meet the Mitchells: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

    The Baptism of the Holy Spirit Explained Clearly with Pastor Alvin Love III | Ep 9

    Hey friends! Matt and Marie-Claire here. This week, we’re sitting down with our pastor and dear friend, Alvin Love III, for a conversation about something that has changed both of our lives in a real and practical way: the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Alvin grew up around church but spent years feeling confused, overlooked, and unsure of why the Holy Spirit seemed to move in everyone else’s life but his. It wasn’t until he learned what Scripture actually teaches that everything shifted. In this episode, he shares how God opened his eyes, removed years of discouragement, and ignited a new fire that transformed his walk with Jesus. We talk about what the baptism of the Holy Spirit is, why tongues matter, and how the Spirit empowers every believer—not just pastors or “super Christians”—to live with clarity, boldness, and a deeper connection to God’s heart. We also share our own stories of how the Holy Spirit brought Scripture to life, strengthened our prayer lives, and helped us step into the purpose God has for us. If you’ve ever felt confused, hesitant, or unsure about this topic, this conversation will remind you that God isn’t withholding anything from you. His Spirit is a gift meant to strengthen you, guide you, and empower you to walk out His plan for your life. There is real power, real intimacy, and real transformation available through the Holy Spirit—and we pray this episode encourages you to seek everything God has for you. 00:00 — Welcome + Introducing Pastor Alvin01:20 — Why We’re Talking About the Holy Spirit03:00 — Marie-Claire’s Story of Receiving Tongues06:45 — Alvin’s Early Church Experience08:15 — Years of Waiting and Feeling Overlooked10:40 — “No English” — The Moment Things Clicked13:00 — What the Baptism of the Holy Spirit Actually Is15:20 — Salvation vs. Baptism in the Holy Spirit18:45 — Why Tongues Matter for Every Believer22:40 — Tongues vs. The Gift of Tongues26:00 — How the Holy Spirit Brings Scripture Alive30:05 — Why Following Jesus Without the Spirit Feels Hard34:00 — When and How to Pray in Tongues38:20 — Can You Be Filled Without Praying in Tongues?48:05 — How to Receive the Holy Spirit Today53:03 — Prayer for Viewers + Final Encouragement Email us at connect@meetthemitchells.org Follow Pastor Alvin Love III: Instagram Follow Meet the Mitchells: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

    How Jesus Rebuilt My Identity: A Conversation with Ben Moore | Ep 8

    Hey friends! Matt here. This week, I’m sitting down with my friend, brother in Christ, and Christian pop singer-songwriter Ben Moore to talk about the radical way Jesus transformed his life. Ben grew up in church but spent years wrestling with identity, shame, confusion, and the pressure to be someone he wasn’t. After chasing fulfillment in relationships, culture, and his own desires, he found himself empty, exhausted, and ready to give up—until God met him in a moment that changed everything. In this episode, Ben shares how the Holy Spirit opened his eyes to the truth of the gospel, led him out of a life that was destroying him, and began reshaping him from the inside out. We talk about deliverance, discipleship, healing from false identity, and learning to trust God’s voice above every other voice in the world. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or unsure of who you really are, Ben’s story will remind you that God is able to restore what feels lost and lead you into the life He designed for you. There is real freedom, real identity, and real hope in Jesus. 02:00 — Growing Up Christian but Feeling Out of Place05:00 — Bullying, Shame & Early Identity Struggles08:30 — College, Rebellion & Double Living12:30 — Hearing God’s Voice in Dark Places15:40 — Depression, Suicidal Thoughts & Searching for Truth18:20 — The YouTube Video That Broke Through21:00 — “The Veil Lifted” — Ben’s Salvation Moment23:40 — Leaving His Relationship & Learning Obedience26:00 — Starting Over: Discipleship, Healing & Painful Growth30:20 — Moving to Nashville & Finding Real Community34:10 — Discovering His True Identity in Christ37:00 — Ben’s Encouragement to Anyone Wrestling With Identity Email us at connect@meetthemitchells.org Follow Ben Moore: Instagram TikTok Follow Meet the Mitchells: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

    Finding Freedom from Sexual Sin with DeAngelo Moss | Ep 7

    Hey friends! Matt here. This week, we’re having an honest and hope-filled conversation about sexual purity and freedom with my friend and brother in Christ, DeAngelo Moss. DeAngelo battled sexual sin for nearly 20 years before God led him through a journey of complete healing and restoration. Now he’s on a mission to help others experience that same freedom. As the founder of Free by Truth and The Dating Project, DeAngelo equips Christians to overcome sexual struggles, pursue holiness, and build healthy, Christ-centered relationships. In this episode, we talk about breaking shame, renewing your mind with Scripture, and learning to face temptation through the strength of the Holy Spirit. DeAngelo shares the biblical strategies that set him free—and how God’s grace can do the same for you. If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of guilt, isolation, or discouragement, this conversation will remind you that God’s plan for your life is greater than your past. Freedom isn’t out of reach—it’s found in Jesus. 0:00 – Temptation Will Come0:40 – Meet DeAngelo Moss2:20 – Why Purity Matters5:00 – DeAngelo’s Story of Freedom9:40 – Finding Healing Through Scripture13:00 – Building Spiritual Strength15:20 – How Purity Prepared Him for Marriage18:10 – Blessings on the Other Side of Obedience19:30 – God’s Goodness Over Condemnation22:00 – Walking in the Spirit24:00 – How to Stop Watching Porn28:00 – The Power of Awareness30:00 – The Seed of Lust33:00 – Creating a Plan for Freedom39:00 – The “Talk Me Down” Strategy42:00 – Expecting Temptation45:00 – Walking in Lasting Freedom Email us at connect@meetthemitchells.org Follow DeAngelo Moss: Instagram Follow Free by Truth: Instagram Website Follow The Dating Project: Instagram Website Follow Meet the Mitchells: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

    Following Jesus as an Interracial Couple | Ep 6

    Hey friends! This week, we’re talking about something close to our hearts — identity, culture, and what it means to find who you really are in Christ. ❤️ As an interracial couple, we’ve faced our share of questions and challenges. But through it all, God’s shown us that our truest identity isn’t found in our race, culture, or background — it’s found in Him. 🙌 In this episode, we share our personal stories of healing, forgiveness, and freedom from the labels the world puts on us. From wrestling with insecurity and cultural pride to learning what “kingdom culture” really means, this conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t fully belong. We dive into Galatians 3:28, talk about what it means to lay down your identity before God, and remind you that you are so much more than the color of your skin, the family you came from, or the mistakes in your past. Whether you’re in an interracial relationship or just learning to see yourself the way God sees you, this episode will remind you: 👉 You are loved.👉 You belong.👉 And your truest identity is found in Christ alone. 01:15 – Finding Identity in Christ07:00 – Matt’s Story: Breaking Free from Labels11:45 – Marie-Claire’s Story: Healing from Bitterness13:45 – Laying Down Cultural Pride16:00 – What Kingdom Culture Really Means19:45 – Overcoming Racism with Love21:00 – Letting God Lead Your Relationships25:40 – Truth vs. Lies About Who You Are28:30 – Living in Your True Identity Email us at connect@meetthemitchells.org Follow Meet the Mitchells: ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Website⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

    How to Stay in Love and Build a Marriage That Reflects Christ | Ep 5

    Hey friends! 👋 This week, we’re diving into one of the biggest questions we get asked: how do you actually stay in love once you’re married? We’re two years into marriage — still learning, still growing — but we’ve picked up some wisdom that’s helped us build a marriage that’s not just fun, but fruitful. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to love Jesus first (even before your spouse), why mentorship has been a game-changer for us, and a few practical rhythms that help keep our relationship healthy and full of joy. We’ll also share how we’ve learned to stop trying to “fix” each other, the power of confession and community, and why your marriage isn’t just for you — it’s meant to point people to Christ. Whether you’re single, dating, or already married, we hope this conversation reminds you that a strong marriage starts with a surrendered heart. ❤️ Tune in, take notes, and let’s grow together! 01:00 – How to Stay in Love 03:10 – Loving Jesus First 07:05 – Letting Go of Control 11:15 – The Power of Mentorship 14:45 – Healing, Confession & Growth 19:05 – Practical Habits for a Healthy Marriage 22:10 – Team Powwow & Communication 24:10 – Praying Together & Building Purpose 26:10 – Marriage as a Picture of Christ 27:40 – Closing Encouragement Email us at connect@meetthemitchells.org Follow Meet the Mitchells: ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Website⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Join Our Patreon

    Engagement: Laying a Godly Foundation for Marriage | Ep 4

    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. 00:00 – Intro: Why Engagement Matters01:34 – Red Flags Before Saying Yes06:08 – The Freedom to Say No08:08 – Engagement Tips for Men13:34 – Engagement Tips for Women20:23 – Wedding Planning & Boundaries23:59 – Emotional Preparation for Marriage27:22 – Keeping Perspective During Engagement30:55 – Practical Engagement Tips33:38 – Spiritual Perspective on Engagement35:51 – Purity, Boundaries & Confession44:45 – Closing Encouragement & Prayer Email us at connect@meetthemitchells.org Follow Meet the Mitchells: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠Website⁠ ⁠Newsletter⁠ ⁠Join Our Patreon

    How to Date with God’s Purpose in Mind | Ep 3

    Dating. For some, it feels exciting. For others, it’s confusing or even painful. But what if God’s design for dating could actually bring peace, clarity, and joy? This week on Meet the Mitchells, we’re talking all about dating with God’s purpose in mind. We’ll share three big lessons that shaped our own journey: the true purpose of dating, how to honor God through healthy boundaries, and the practical steps that helped us move from confusion to clarity. Along the way, we get real about our own ups and downs—including a breakup, forgiveness, and the role of mentors and community in helping us date well. Whether you’re just starting to date, wrestling with boundaries, or wondering how to know if someone’s “the one,” our hope is this: that you’ll see dating not as something to fear or fumble through, but as a season God can use to grow your faith and prepare you for the future He has planned. 01:22 – The real purpose of dating 05:09 – Our story: breakup, forgiveness, and reconciliation 07:50 – Timing & compatibility in relationships 10:04 – How to date God’s way 15:18 – Boundaries that bring freedom & clarity 19:08 – Choosing the right person & dating in community 23:10 – Practical dating wisdom you can apply today 26:11 – Breaking up well & keeping dating fun 28:39 – Closing prayer & encouragement Email us at connect@meetthemitchells.org Follow Meet the Mitchells: ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Facebook Website Newsletter Join Our Patreon
