This episode with Lauren, mumma of two, considers how God is refining, moulding and teaching us though trials of many kinds. And, that the trials we face might be bigger life events, or smaller ones.

We talk about how as christians, we all will be being moulded in different ways as God is growing to be more like Jesus and himself in holiness. For Lauren, her trial has been around her weight.

As you will hear, she has tried hard at loosing weight over the last 20 years, though nothing seems to work. Not only has she tried every diet out there, she has considered her weight as a christian - is she being sinful in some way by leaning into laziness or gluttony.

She's tried it all to get it under control. Her landing in this? God is using her weight to have her lean on him, to trust in him. There is purpose to this trial she is enduring, and more and more she sees God's goodness in how he is shaping her character, her priorities and heart in this.
