Rebuilt to Last: From 'Why Me?' to Becoming

In this episode, Lauren shares how painful seasons challenged her faith and how she eventually found her way back to God through surrender, community, and learning to trust God’s timing. She talks about moving from routine religion to an intentional relationship with God, how serving helped strengthen her foundation, and the lessons she learned about humility, forgiveness, and letting go of control. Lauren also shares how her confidence and purpose grew through church and how that journey opened doors for her family and her work, anchored by the reminder to trust the Lord even when life doesn’t make sense.
