·1 hr 18 min·5 clips

Chelsea reveals how God told her she was standing next to her future husband during a song at Passion Conference.

This episode features host Jay Phantom interviewing married couple Nick and Chelsea Hurst, popular YouTube and Instagram personalities. They discuss their book "Marriage Minded: 10 Ways to Know if You've Found the One," which stems from their own relationship journey. Nick and Chelsea met in 2016 after connecting on Twitter and beginning a long-distance relationship between Florida and Illinois. They first met in person at the Passion Conference in Georgia roughly two months after they started talking. During that conference, they each individually felt they received a divine confirmation that they would marry each other. Their book compiles ten key areas they believe couples should discuss, including communication styles, conflict resolution, family backgrounds, and financial foundations. They emphasize the importance of having difficult conversations about these topics before marriage. A surprising insight is their admission that despite their early spiritual confirmation, their dating and engagement period involved significant struggles they had to work through. Chelsea shares that she later realized she carried unhealed assumptions about men from past hurts that affected her trust early on. Nick explains he sought wisdom from multiple married mentors, distilling common threads from their varied advice to apply to his unique situation. They recount receiving advice from some people who told them they were too young to marry or that long distance was too difficult. Chelsea describes a previous relationship where she felt a logical urge to stay but a spiritual conviction to leave, highlighting the tension between reason and faith. Nick shares a personal method for discerning spiritual guidance, noting he differentiates between his own cerebral planning and gut-level convictions he attributes to the Holy Spirit. The host, Jay, contributes his own experience of career discernment, where repeated external suggestions to become a therapist aligned with an internal sense of peace. The tone is conversational, friendly, and openly faith-based, with casual banter about accents, weather, and shared interests. The style is advisory, drawing heavily on personal anecdotes and spiritual reflection to offer relationship guidance. Listeners interested in Christian perspectives on dating, marriage, and spiritual discernment would find this episode highly relevant. Those uncomfortable with faith-based reasoning or seeking secular relationship advice might prefer to skip it.
