Letters to Lindsey: Seeing Your Child's Autism Diagnosis Through a Gospel Lens

We've Never Shared This Before!

Every marriage has a story behind it, including ours. In this deeply personal episode, we share parts of our story we haven't fully shared before. The trials that tested us. The seasons that stretched us. The moments when we didn't know how things would turn out. And how the Lord got us through.

This episode isn't about having a perfect marriage. In fact, it's the opposite. It's about having a very messy marriage that became something great in the Lord's hands. It's our story of two broken people, confronted with the gospel, surrendered to Him, and fully transformed. From our mess to His message. To God be the glory!

If your Christian marriage feels more like roommates, it's not just you. Many couples don't stop loving each other even though they slowly stop connecting. In this episode, we explore why Christian couples stop talking, what causes emotional and spiritual distance in marriage, and how seasons like busyness, parenting, health challenges, burnout, and unresolved conflict quietly steal connection. We also share biblical insight and practical steps to help you rebuild intimacy without blame or pressure.

If you're feeling disconnected but still committed, this episode offers hope, clarity, and simple next steps to reconnect emotionally and spiritually.
