Win Today: Your Roadmap to Wholeness

455: You Don't Get a Hall Pass from Pain. ESPN's Lauren Sisler Exposes "Rah-Rah" Christianity, Why Avoidance Costs Us More Than Facing Pain Head-On, and Curating Our Image as Armor


Listen Later

We all want to overcome, but too often, we curate our pain out of view—tidy it up, slap a spiritual platitude on top, and hope time heals what we never confronted. This week on Win Today, ESPN's Lauren Sisler reveals what happened when her life fell apart at 18. She buried both of her parents just hours apart. And in the wake of that trauma, she didn't get a "hall pass" from grief. She didn't get a spiritual fast-forward button. She had to live every moment of it, raw and real. In this powerful conversation, we take on the lies of "rah-rah Christianity," the armor of image management, and the emotional expense of avoidance. If you've ever wondered why God didn't spare you from the pain… or why it still lingers even though you "moved on," this episode will meet you where you really live.
