EP31: From Darkness to Redemption: Lauren’s Story of Healing and Hope in Christ

Even in her darkest moments, when anxiety, depression, and self-harm consumed her life, Lauren Donegan discovered that Christ never left her side. In this powerful episode of The Brave Way Podcast, Pastor Jeff sits down with Lauren, an 18-year-old from BRAVE’s Next Gen ministry, to share her raw and redemptive journey from brokenness to new life in Jesus.

Lauren opens up about the lies of the enemy, the dangers of isolation and social media, and the destructive patterns that once defined her. But more importantly, she testifies to the transforming power of Christ—the One who met her in her lowest place, redeemed her story, and gave her hope and purpose again.

This conversation will resonate with teens, parents, and anyone who needs to be reminded that no matter how deep the pain, God’s grace is greater.
