Send us a text What do you do when life takes a turn you never planned for?In this special re-release of The Redeemed Podcast—one of our most-listened-to episodes —host Lauren Burns revisits a powerful, Scripture-filled conversation about finding purpose in pain and trusting God through life’s hardest seasons.Lauren shares vulnerably from her own story—wrestling with father wounds, trauma, anger toward God, and the long road toward healing and forgiveness after being kidnapped as a child and rebuilding life after rescue. This episode isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about learning how to trust God when the answers don’t come right away.Drawing from the biblical story of Joseph , Lauren explores how God can still be at work when we feel forgotten, rejected, falsely accused, or stuck in a season we don’t understand. From the pit, to the prison, to the promise—Joseph’s story reminds us that delay is not denial, and pain does not cancel purpose.In this episode, you’ll hear encouragement for those navigating: Childhood trauma and father wounds Anger, doubt, and unanswered prayers Loss, divorce, financial hardship, or major life transitions Waiting seasons that feel unfair or endless The journey toward forgiveness and freedom This episode is for anyone who feels weary, unseen, or unsure of what God is doing behind the scenes. If you’re in the middle of a hard chapter, this conversation will remind you that God is still writing your story—and He’s not finished yet .📖 “Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story…” — Psalm 107:2 Contact Lauren: Website laurenburns.net Instagram https://www.instagram.com/laurenburnsredeemed/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laurenBredeemed/ Redeemed Newsletter: subscribepage.io/eft4YT Merch https://www.hiscollectionapparel.com/ Disoun…
