Christian Testimony | COVID Miracle Story | Faith Over Fear | Healing, Prayer, and God's Promises
What do you do when doctors say there's no hope, but God has already given you a promise?
In this powerful episode of The Redeemed Podcast, Lauren Burns sits down with Lynn Strickland, a nurse, wife, mother, grandmother, speaker, and author whose life was forever changed during a 92-day battle with COVID-19.
Before Lynn's condition became critical, she experienced a powerful encounter with God. As fear and uncertainty surrounded her, God spoke a promise that she would hold onto throughout 56 days in ICU, multiple life-threatening setbacks, and countless moments when medical professionals believed she would not survive.
While fighting for her own life, Lynn found herself encouraging nurses, praying with healthcare workers, worshiping through pain, and sharing God's faithfulness from her hospital bed. Her story is a powerful reminder that faith is not the absence of fear—it's choosing to trust God when circumstances seem impossible.

What do you do when the person you love is living a double life?
Dan Scott grew up in church. His father was a pastor. He knew Scripture, attended church faithfully, and looked like he had it all together on the outside.
But behind closed doors, Dan was battling pornography, infidelity, alcohol, and years of unresolved wounds from childhood trauma.
For more than two decades, he hid his struggles from the people he loved most.
Until everything came crashing down.
In this powerful conversation, Dan shares how his secret life was exposed, the pain it caused his wife and daughters, the moment he hit rock bottom, and the conversation with his father that changed everything.
Most importantly, this is a story of God's grace.
It's a story of a wife who never stopped praying.
A father who responded with love instead of condemnation.
And a Savior who met Dan in his darkest moment and transformed his life.If you're struggling in your marriage, battling addiction, carrying shame, or praying for someone you love, this episode is for you.
"No marriage is too broken. No person is too far gone."

Have you ever felt like God is silent? Like your prayers are going unanswered, progress is painfully slow, and you are doing everything you know to do — praying, trusting, showing up — yet still feel stuck in a wilderness season?
In this solo episode of the Redeemed Podcast, Lauren Burns shares a heartfelt biblical encouragement for anyone walking through a long season of waiting, grief, uncertainty, or spiritual dryness. Drawing from Deuteronomy 9, Lauren unpacks how Moses reminded the Israelites that their wilderness journey was not wasted. What felt like delay was actually preparation. God was shaping their hearts, stripping away pride, and teaching them to trust Him fully before entering the Promised Land.

Today’s episode of The Redeemed Podcast is one of the most sobering and powerful conversations we’ve ever shared.
Host Lauren Burns sits down with Hope Beryl- Green, a survivor who courageously shares her testimony of survival, healing, and faith after a childhood marked by exploitation, trafficking, and profound trauma.
Hope opens up about being born into exploitation, enduring years of abuse and psychological control, and the long journey toward freedom and restoration. She also discusses her personal claims connected to elite trafficking networks and the emotional impact of seeing similar stories emerge in today’s media landscape.
This is not an easy story to hear — but it is ultimately a story of hope, redemption, and the transformative power of God’s love.
Through faith, community, and years of healing, Hope now uses her voice to bring awareness, advocate for survivors, and remind others that their past does not define their future.
If you have ever wrestled with shame, trauma, or the question, “Can healing really happen?” — this conversation offers both truth and hope.

Laura shares her powerful testimony of overcoming alcoholism, losing everything, and finding herself homeless as a single mom—only to encounter a God who restores, redeems, and rebuilds. Through surrender, faith, and community, Laura found sobriety, purpose, and a calling to help other women walk the same path to freedom.
