Mitch is very open about his faith and will often talk about how prayer guides his business decisions, marketing strategies and content creation.  

In fact, he has a second podcast for coaches, speakers and content creators called “Encouraging the Encouragers.” Mitch is quick to point out the genesis of that podcast came to him from a powerful prayer experience in the Oregon mountains.  

Mitch is a husband to his amazing bride, a dad to their two incredible sons and proudly lives a highly-caffeinated lifestyle in Des Moines.

Michael and Meredith have a passion to see the church, at large, leading in creativity again and believe everything starts from the place of worship. For the last 15 years of their marriage they have been studying what it means to worship the Lord. For 7 of those years, they had the honor to help pioneer the worship movement that is called the UpperRoom, based out of Dallas, TX. 

They have recently started SongLab MSC which holds events to empower worship teams and creatives to create and song write from a place of encounter, stewarding the revelation that is happening in them personally and in their local church communities. They have found that teams that worship and create together develop new levels of unity, as well as celebration, rather than competition.
