Are the Plaths basically the Duggars? Do they share the same beliefs, values, and lifestyle? In this episode, Lydia Plath — now Lydia Wyse — joins us with her husband Zac to answer that and more.

Lydia gives us a rare, behind-the-scenes look at her childhood: the farm life, food storage, shower schedules, and quiet emotional world she grew up in. She opens up about her family’s unique beliefs, their motivation for off-grid living, and what emotional connection looked like (or didn’t) in the Plath home.

Then things take a turn — Zac enters the picture. From meeting at church in Colorado to a sunrise mountain hike, a spontaneous dance in the road, and a whirlwind love story that led to a quick marriage, they walk us through the real story — including the drama that came with getting married so fast.
