What happens when years of prayer, surrender, vulnerability, and obedience finally lead to breakthrough?
In this powerful episode of Redeemed Podcast, Lauren sits down with her longtime friend Natalie Nichols to discuss childhood trauma, shame, unhealthy relationships, addiction, marriage struggles, healing, and the power of praying faithfully for your spouse.
Natalie vulnerably shares how hidden wounds from childhood affected every area of her life—including relationships, identity, emotional health, motherhood, and marriage. From growing up surrounded by dysfunction, drinking, drugs, and brokenness to searching for acceptance through relationships and alcohol, Natalie opens up about the deep healing journey God walked her through.
But this episode is also about hope.
For years Natalie prayed over her husband, her marriage, and her family—wondering if breakthrough would ever come. Then through surrender, vulnerability, obedience, and the healing power of Jesus, everything began to change.
This conversation will encourage:
