In the final episode of Season 6, Lindsey and Aaron open up about their personal journey with faith and what it means to truly find God for yourself as an adult. Growing up in church culture can be powerful, but it can also come with confusion, pressure, and at times, distance.
As many drift from faith when they leave home, Lindsey and Aaron share how their relationship with God has evolved, deepened, and strengthened through life’s real challenges like marriage, parenting, and personal growth. This is an honest conversation about leaving behind religion for relationship and trusting that even when life gets hard, God never fails.
This episode is a message to their children and anyone searching for something steady in an unsteady world. Faith doesn’t have to be perfect to be real.
