| How do you forgive someone when what they did was truly wrong? | 26 Aug 2026 | 00:30:05 | |
What are you still carrying because you believe you have a right to carry it? Anger. Resentment. Betrayal. Father wounds. An apology you never received. Years you can't get back. In this solo episode of The Redeemed Podcast, Lauren Burns talks honestly about biblical forgiveness and what it means to surrender anger and resentment without pretending the hurt wasn't real. While reading Jeremiah 32, Lauren was struck by an unusual act of faith: God tells Jeremiah to purchase a field while Jerusalem is under siege and the land is being overtaken by Babylon. From a human perspective, it makes absolutely no sense. But Jeremiah acts on something he cannot yet see: God has promised restoration on the other side of devastation. And that raises an important question: What if forgiveness is believing God enough to release what happened and trust Him with what comes next? Lauren also shares from her own journey of healing while writing STOLEN: A True Story—Kidnapped, Rescued, Redeemed, including what God has continued to teach her about father wounds, anger, forgiveness and healing. The transcript makes clear that writing the book has continued to uncover layers of healing rather than simply revisiting a story that was already completely resolved. In this episode:
One truth to remember: Your wound may be part of your story, but it does not get to write the ending. Jeremiah saw devastation. God saw restoration. Maybe today God is asking you to trust Him with what you've been carrying. 🙏 Stay through the end for a prayer for anyone struggling with forgiveness, resentment, father wounds or deep hurt.

| What If Your Waiting Isn't Wasted? | Paige Allen on Trusting God in the Delay | 19 Aug 2026 | 00:32:08 | |
What if the season you desperately want God to end is actually a season He is using? Waiting for healing. Waiting for a relationship to change. Waiting for a child. Waiting for direction. Waiting for a dream God placed in your heart to finally become reality. In this episode of The Redeemed Podcast, Lauren Burns sits down with author and Bible teacher Paige Allen to talk about what it means to trust God when His timing doesn't look anything like ours. Drawing from her new book, Matriarchs: What the Women of Genesis Teach Us About Our Part in God's Story, Paige takes us into the lives of Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah—women who received promises from God but often had to wait years before seeing those promises unfold. Paige also shares her own story of waiting seven years after a publisher rejected her first book because she “didn't have a platform.” What felt like wasted years ultimately became part of the very message God was preparing her to write. In this conversation, you'll hear about:
“God, do You hear me?” “Why is this taking so long?” or “What am I supposed to do while I wait?” this conversation is for you. 📖 ABOUT MATRIARCHS Paige Allen's new Bible study, Matriarchs, explores the lives of Sarah, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel and what their stories teach us about embracing God's promises, waiting well, walking through pain, nurturing what God has entrusted to us, and ultimately releasing it to Him. ➡️ Get Paige Allen's Matriarchs: https://a.co/d/05LCceVH ➡️ Connect with Paige: 📕 ABOUT STOLEN Lauren Burns' upcoming book, STOLEN: True Story, Kidnapped, Rescued, Redeemed, tells the true story of her childhood kidnapping, extraordinary rescue, and the much longer journey of healing, forgiveness, faith, and redemption that followed. ➡️ Preorder STOLEN: subscribepage.io/R8EW8e If this episode encouraged you, subscribe to The Redeemed Podcast, leave a comment, and share it with someone who is walking through a waiting season.

| Raised Jewish, Found Jesus: The Hidden Faith That Changed Everything | 12 Aug 2026 | 00:37:33 | |
What happens when following Jesus could cost you your family, your community, and the identity you’ve known your entire life? In this episode of The Redeemed Podcast, Lauren Burns sits down with Bible teacher Sandi York to share her powerful journey from growing up in a traditional Jewish home to discovering a personal relationship with Jesus as the Messiah. Sandi grew up immersed in Jewish tradition in Birmingham, Alabama. She attended Jewish day school, and her parents ran Alabama’s only Jewish newspaper. But when her mother came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah, Sandi was warned to keep that belief hidden from their Jewish family and community. For years, Sandi lived between two worlds—carrying secrecy, fear, and shame while trying to maintain the life others expected of her. After a short-lived marriage, difficult choices, and a season that brought her to rock bottom, Sandi found herself awake at 2:00 a.m., crying out to God. What happened next began changing everything. Within weeks, God opened doors for a job at a Christian radio station and a place to live through a coworker. For the first time, Sandi experienced Christian community up close. She began learning about prayer, devotionals, Scripture, and what it meant not simply to know about Jesus—but to surrender her life to Him as Lord. Eventually, Sandi faced another decision: Would she continue hiding her faith, or would she live unashamed of the gospel? Her decision to tell the truth led to letters sent to friends and family, painful backlash, public exposure, and strained relationships. But it also led to freedom, healing, restored relationships, and a faith she no longer had to hide. Today, Sandi teaches Scripture and encourages others to know God deeply and personally. She shares why **Song of Solomon 8:5—“Who is this coming up from the wilderness leaning on her beloved?”—**has become such a meaningful picture of her walk with God. In this conversation, Lauren and Sandi talk about Judaism and Christianity, Messianic Jewish identity, family expectations, shame, secrecy, surrender, prayer, finding Jesus, spiritual transformation, and having the courage to live out your faith. If you have ever wrestled with family expectations, felt afraid to openly live out your faith, or wondered whether God could meet you at rock bottom, Sandi’s story is a reminder that He can meet us in the wilderness—and teach us to lean on Him.

| Have You Ever Felt Overlooked? God's Timing Is Better Than You Think | 05 Aug 2026 | 00:41:39 | |
Have you ever wondered why someone else's dream seems to be unfolding while yours feels delayed? Maybe you've prayed for healing... And you're still waiting. In this inspiring conversation, Lauren Burns welcomes author and speaker Bridgette Cameron Ridenour to discuss what it means to trust God when His timing doesn't match our own. Growing up in Hollywood as the sister of Kirk Cameron and Candace Cameron Bure, Bridgette spent years wondering why God chose a different path for her. That journey ultimately became the foundation of her memoir Overlooked. Together they discuss: • Feeling overlooked by God • Finding purpose beyond comparison • Miscarriage, grief, and God's unexpected comfort • Surviving a life-changing semi-truck accident • Jeremiah 29:11 becoming a personal promise • Why waiting strengthens our faith • How to trust God's plan when you can't see what's next This episode is a reminder that God hasn't forgotten you. He's preparing you. 00:00 Introduction: Have You Ever Felt Overlooked?

In this deeply personal episode of The Redeemed Podcast, Lauren Burns shares her own journey of healing after being kidnapped by her father at seven years old and explains how childhood trauma can shape our view of God.

| Why Your Breakthrough May Be Delayed—And What Solomon's Prayer Can Teach Us | 01 Jul 2026 | 00:26:14 | |
Have you been praying for healing, restoration, direction, or breakthrough—and wondering why God hasn't answered yet? In this powerful episode of The Redeemed Podcast, Lauren Burns explores one of the most overlooked lessons in Scripture. When God appeared to Solomon and told him to ask for anything, Solomon chose wisdom over wealth, power, success, or revenge. Because Solomon's heart was aligned with God's will, God responded with more than Solomon ever imagined. Through the stories of King David, King Solomon, and Hannah, Lauren unpacks what it means to pray prayers that honor God, trust His timing, and position our hearts for the blessings He wants to give.

| God Said, "You Will Live" | A COVID Miracle, Unshakable Faith, and 92 Days in the Hospital with Lynn Strickland | 24 Jun 2026 | 00:41:18 | |
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 Happens When a Wife Refuses to Give Up? Marriage Restoration, Surrender & Redemption | 17 Jun 2026 | 00:39:23 | |
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.

From unanswered prayers and delayed dreams to medical challenges, relationship struggles, and financial uncertainty, Lauren speaks honestly about the tension between trusting God and longing for resolution. Lauren shares her personal journey of waiting on God through the book-writing process — a season marked by preparation, surrender, and learning to trust God when outcomes were out of her control. She also reflects on a powerful full-circle moment: 32 years after her mother shared their rescue story on Heart to Heart with Sheila Walsh, Lauren recently sat on the set of Life Today to share how God has redeemed and healed her story. Drawing from the biblical story of Esther, Lauren highlights how endurance is often formed in hidden seasons — long before deliverance or breakthrough arrives. Esther’s twelve months of preparation remind us that waiting is not wasted time, but a sacred space where God is positioning, refining, and protecting His people. This episode is for anyone:
Lauren encourages listeners to lean into prayer, surrender control, and trust that God is still working — even when progress feels invisible. Waiting is not weakness. Waiting is endurance. And God wastes nothing. ⏱ Episode Chapters / Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction: Why Waiting Is So Hard 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/ Disount Descript https://get.descript.com/DescriptRedeemed Disclaimer: The purpose of the Redeemed Podcast is to share the love of Jesus.

| Unanswered Prayers → Unexpected Calling: Derek Welborn, Saints Western & Brandon Lake | 29 Oct 2025 | 00:34:27 | |
Pastor Derek Welborn knows what it feels like to lose your reflection. When alopecia took his hair, it began stripping far more than follicles—it chipped away at identity, confidence, and the life he thought he’d live. He prayed for the hair to come back. Silence. Then God answered in a way only God could: not by restoring what Derek lost, but by reframing who Derek is. In the quiet space of grief, Derek picked up felt, fire, and craft—and Saints Western was born. What started as a survival project became a calling: hand-crafted cowboy hats & boots that carry stories of faith and resilience. That unlikely road led to a partnership with award-winning artist Brandon Lake, bringing heritage craftsmanship to the King of Hearts era and beyond. Timestamps
