Discover the hidden challenges young married couples face today with our special guest, pastor Lindsay Lotzbaugh, who brings her wealth of experience from pastoring, missions, and motherhood. Lindsay opens up about sensitive topics like pornography, communication issues, and the critical lack of support systems that many newlyweds encounter. We explore how the generational gap in churches often deprives young couples of much-needed spiritual mentors, forcing them to turn to peers, sometimes with less-than-helpful results. Lindsay’s insights remind us of the urgent need to build strong, supportive communities within our churches to nurture healthier marriages.
