Delivered from Darkness, Part One

A quiet lie can rewrite a whole life: you’re not enough, you don’t deserve love, you’re better off hiding. Our guest, Lauren, traces how those lies took root in her life, how social media amplified the ache, and how anxiety, depression, and self-harm became counterfeit forms of belonging. What unfolds isn’t a quick fix or a neat conversion—it’s a slow return to hope through worship, honest community, and a new identity that's stronger than her shame. If you’ve ever wondered how to support someone in the pit—or how to climb out yourself—this story offers real hope.
