Mitch Temple: Connecting People and Opening Paths Across the Christian Market


Examples of Mitch's Experience and Expertise

 

Every path into the Christian market winds through denominations, emphases, influencers, regions, churches, business models, mindsets, ministries, media, organizations, channels . . . and decision-makers.  

To successfully, sensibly reach the Christian market, therefore, calls for a guide to its opportunities—and to its gatekeepers.

From 25 years across the Evangelical landscape—from large, far-reaching resources such as Focus on the Family and Family Life, to decades of church service, to the one-on-one of Christian counseling—Mitch Temple has the view, the strategies, and the relationships that connect dots for non-profit and for-profit projects. On his clients’ behalf, he operates not to “land big fish” but to wisely, effectively help reach right people, places, and groups—like pennies in a slot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!!, December 10, 2010
This review is from: The Marriage Turnaround: How Thinking Differently About Your Relationship Can Change Everything (Paperback)

Every couple should read this book!! I have read it 3 times and have learned something new everytime. In this book Mitch brings out every myth us humans have made up about marriage. This isn't another "how to" book, it is a blueprint for a great marriage! This book is one of the things that saved my marriage. God obviously is the One who restored my marriage, but this book helped make me a better husband and I needed radical change in the way I was as a husband. This book isn't just for couples who are separated, on the verge of divorce, or even in trouble at all, this book is for every couple in every marriage! Even if your marriage is full of bright and shining moments you'll be surprised with what this book can and will teach you. Mitch has taken marriage and opened every layer of it to reveal how something as simple as changing our thinking can improve every marriage.

If you're married or thinking about being married I HIGHLY recommend buying this book. It is bar none the best book on marriage that has ever been written.


Marriage Turnaround, July 5, 2010
By netrbug (Florida) - See all my reviews 100% the best marriage book I have ever read and I have read plenty! I am a Christian Counselor and have 30+ marriage books that I have reviewed and would put them all aside and recommend this one. The only thing I add is that it tells you like it is and you must be ready to hear it or it will not do your marriage any good.

It pays to listen, March 12, 2009
By R. Avalos (Moreno Valley, CA) - See all my reviews
This book has been an answer to prayer. My wife and I were on the verge of
separation if not worse. After seeing the movie Fireproof, I went to Amazon.com to buy the book, when it gave me the option or suggestion of this book. Something inside me told me to get this book as well. Let me tell you it has paid off, not only are we still together but by reading this book and by the grace of the Almighty God, I found a renewed live for my wife. The Marriage Turnaround is worth the investment.
Awesome book - really enjoyed reading it!, June 7, 2009
By John G. Gscheidmeier (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews

I really enjoyed reading this book, and don't let the title deceive you - this book is great for couples who are looking to strengthen their relationships, not just save it. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
A Terrific Marriage Resource! A Couples' Reading Group Pick!,
February 21, 2009
By Stacey (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews

Mitch Temple's "The Marriage Turnaround" is an incredible non-fiction read. This book educates, enlightens and inspires. The quotes that begin each chapter will make you laugh, cry and contemplate profound insights from various personalities. The writing tactfully and frankly discusses various marital issues, weaknesses and strengths, offering hope for couples at any stage of marriage whether successful or not. The only thing missing from this book is a discussion guide. Even so, I highly recommend it as a couples book group pick!

Very timely and well-written, June 18, 2010
By David M. Patterson - See all my reviews I enjoyed this book and will use the suggestions in my own marriage. I will also order this book for some other people I know who are going through rough spots in their marriage. Mr. Temple does a good job of dispelling many of the myths that pop-culture has foisted on marriage. Some of the other marriage books out there are more "theory-driven." This one is more practical. It gives me hope for my own marriage because the suggestions don't seem all that hard to implement. Also because the author adopts a hopeful tone.

Below: Group picture with Mitch and fellow speakers at the National Marriage Simulcast at Focus with over 40,000 people in attendance and 300 locations across the U.S. and Canada. Speakers (from top left to right, bottom left to right): Mitch Temple; Yvette Maher (Focus on the Family); Stephen Kendrick (Author/ Producer: Love Dare/ Fireproof; Gary Thomas (Sacred Marriage); Francis Chan (Crazy Love); Les & Leslie Parrott (Love Talk); Julie Slattery (No More Headaches); John Waller (CCM Music Artist); Gary Chapman (Five Love Languages).

I Want to be a Better Person. I Want to Make the World a Better Place.

I don't read the Wall Street Journal much. I don't listen to news much actually, most of the time it depresses me. The way I figure it is that if I need to know something important, somebody will call or text this dummy and let me know. 

However, there is the other side. Sometimes news not only informs but inspires. Sometimes it causes me to think, reflect and makes me want to be a better person.  That's the case with an article by Peggy Noonan in the …

One of the Best Quotes I've Come Across in a Long Time- by the late Steve Jobs, Co Founder of Apple

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking,” Jobs said at a commencement speech at Stanford University in 2005. “Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice."- Steve Jobs

(Steve Passed away today at age 56).

For those who know me and followed "my career" in the Marriage and Family world, you may have wondered "Mitch, why have you moved from being deep in the Marriage world like having served as Director of Marriage for a large Family Organization to the movie business? Good question. I have asked myself the same question over and over.

The Greatest Compliment: "She was my best friend."

Below is a story I posted back in 2009 about two of very dear and special older friends, Sam and Sugar. 



This past week Sugar went to be with the Lord.  She had been sick for sometime but did not suffer much in her last days on this earth.  As I went to view her in the casket she looked so peaceful and like she had just gone home, because she had.  She went to rest from her many years on this earth.  There was never a sweeter woman than this one.



Before the funeral I sought… Continue

Balance- What I learned from an Indian Chief Professor

While living in Colorado I attended an Indian Pow-wow not far from my home, across the road, into the forest, higher up into the front range of the Rockies. It was about one mile from my home.  I really didn’t know what I was getting into as I drove higher and higher down the rocky road following sign after sign “turn here” “turn here”. But I finally arrived.

 

Along with the wind rushing through the Ponderosa Pines, I heard sounds that transported me back over a hundred years…

There have been numerous times that I thought, especially the early years “this is it! There is no way I can live with this any longer”, but I did.

It’s always intrigued me that in our 25 years of marriage we have wrestled with some of the same problems people have been struggling with for thousands of years.   I have found that many problems in my marriage and the ones…
