ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens when life knocks you down and you realize you can’t get back up on your own?
In this episode of the Faith Conversations Podcast, Jessica Cabrera talks with Lauyren Lewton about a faith journey that moved from seeing Christianity as a list of rules to discovering a life-changing relationship with Jesus.
Lauyren found herself at her lowest point in life as a mom when she lost her marriage and her job in the same season. With no clear way out and a growing realization that she was not in control, she turned to God in humility, prayer, Scripture, and Christian community.
Lauyren shares how God met her in that difficult season, strengthened her through the prayers of others, provided a better job that enabled her to support her children, and eventually opened the door for her to serve other women through a ministry for single moms.
Her story is a powerful reminder that when life knocks us down, God is faithful to meet us there. As Lauyren has learned to submit her plans and desires to Him, she has discovered a deeper relationship with God and the security of knowing that nothing can separate her from His love.
When life brings us to the end of our own strength and control, God meets us in the pit and invites us to depend on Him. Through surrender, prayer, Scripture, and Christian community, He can lift us up, deepen our faith, and even redeem our hardest seasons into opportunities to serve others.
