In this episode of Unwritten, Trevor sits down with Lauren Lewis to talk about Lauren Lewis shares how searching desperately for affirmation in college led her down a dark path until a shocking accident and a quiet interior voice changed everything.

Whether you're fighting to make space for silence amidst the busyness of your life, or just curious about how God encounters people in the midst of their suffering and chaos, this conversation will help you encounter God and be reminded of His love for you.

What You’ll Hear:

• Lauren’s journey through college, starting strong in her faith but eventually giving up Mass and seeking deep affirmation from her amateur cycling teammates and coach. Lauren felt a great need for affirmation, doing anything—from focusing on her outfits or athletic ability—to receive it.

• The serious bike accident in which Lauren was hit by a car, sustaining a severe concussion, and why her grandmother insisted this was God granting her a second chance at life. After recovering, Lauren initially misinterpreted this second chance, focusing on being the best athlete she could be, which quickly led her back into a dark place.

• Why the climax of Lauren's story was not the dramatic accident, but the quiet, interior voice she heard in her living room that told her simply: "Go back to mass". This demonstrates that God often reveals Himself not in the storm or thunder, but in the peace and stillness of the heart.
