In this deeply moving episode of The NFP Podcast, hosts Amy and Emily sit down with Lynn, who courageously shares her powerful love story marked by both joy and profound hardship. From young love to relational abuse, annulment, pregnancy, and the realities of motherhood, Lynn opens her heart about the ways unhealed spiritual and relational wounds can shape — and sometimes distort — our understanding of marriage, intimacy, and human sexuality.

With humility and honesty, Lynn reflects on how her experiences impacted her sense of self, her faith, and her views on love, commitment, and the body. This conversation sheds light on the lasting effects of trauma within relationships and the path toward healing through truth, grace, and restoration. Amy and Emily guide the discussion with compassion, offering listeners hope that no story is beyond redemption and that healing is possible, even after deep brokenness.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking greater understanding of how our past relationships influence our present, and how God gently invites us toward wholeness, healing, and authentic love.
