Have you ever felt stuck—praying for change, but not seeing breakthrough?

In this powerful solo episode of the Redeemed Podcast, Lauren shares a deeply personal and faith-filled message rooted in John 5—the story of the man who had been waiting 38 years for healing.

Jesus asked him one simple question:

“Do you want to get well?”

This episode challenges listeners to move beyond waiting and step into action through faith.

Through real-life experiences, personal testimony, and biblical truth, Lauren reminds us that:

👉 Prayer is powerful—but faith requires movement
 👉 Healing often begins with obedience
 👉 You are not alone in your struggle
