Our Story

Forty Years on the Front Lines of Marriage

When Mike Hill answered the call to ministry in 1985, he didn't know it would become a forty-year journey walking alongside couples in some of the most painful and pivotal seasons of their lives. He did know one thing: marriages were under attack — and they needed someone willing to fight for them.

Together, Mike and Marsha have built a life and a ministry on the unshakeable conviction that a strong marriage is not an accident. It is a daily decision, a spiritual discipline, and a covenant worth defending. This August, they celebrate 50 years of marriage — not because the road was always easy, but because they chose, again and again, to armor up together.

For over 13 years, Mike has led the re|engage ministry — a powerful program designed to help struggling couples find their way back to each other and back to God. Across hundreds of couples and decades of ministry, one pattern has become undeniably clear: most marriages don't fall apart because the love is gone. They fall apart because the biblical foundation was never fully built — or quietly abandoned along the way.

Armor Up Your Marriage was born out of that truth. It is the culmination of a lifetime of pastoral care, hard-won wisdom, and deep faith — offered freely to every couple willing to pick up their armor and stand.

Our Mission

Couples are not fighting each other.
They are fighting a common enemy.

After forty years of pastoral marriage ministry, one truth stands above all others: most couples in crisis are not enemies — they are allies who have forgotten whose side they are on. Satan's greatest strategy against the family is to get husbands and wives pointing their weapons at each other instead of at him. Armor Up Your Marriage exists to turn that around — equipping couples to stand together, fight together, and win together.

The Armor of God — For Two

Ephesians 6 was written to individual believers — but what happens when a husband and wife put on the full armor of God together? That is the question at the heart of everything we do.

Mike has spent forty years watching marriages that were built on shifting cultural foundations crumble under pressure. And he has watched marriages anchored in God's Word stand through storms that should have destroyed them. The difference is always the foundation — and the armor.

  • 🪖
    Helmet of Salvation
    Guard your minds together. What you dwell on individually shapes what you build together.
  • 🛡️
    Shield of Faith
    A couple that prays together lifts a shield no flaming arrow can penetrate.
  • ⚔️
    Sword of the Spirit
    God's Word is your offensive weapon — speak it over your marriage, not just about it.
  • 🤝
    Belt of Truth
    Marriages built on honesty and transparency become impossible to undermine from within.
  • 👟
    Feet Fitted with Readiness
    Stand ready together — a couple prepared in the Gospel of peace carries that peace into every room, every argument, and every season of uncertainty.
  • 🙏
    Prayer in the Spirit
    The armor is only as effective as the prayer behind it. Praying together in the Spirit is not a ritual — it is the lifeline that holds everything else in place.
"Over forty years of ministry, I've seen the same wound at the root of almost every struggling marriage: they stopped fighting the same enemy. They turned their weapons on each other. The moment a couple remembers they are on the same team — everything changes."
— Pastor Mike Hill
