She attended Jewish day school, and her parents ran Alabama’s only Jewish newspaper. But when her mother came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah, Sandi was warned to keep that belief hidden from their Jewish family and community.For years, Sandi lived between two worlds—carrying secrecy, fear, and shame while trying to maintain the life others expected of her.After a short-lived marriage, difficult choices, and a season that brought her to rock bottom, Sandi found herself awake at <b>2:00 a.m., crying out to God</b>.What happened next began changing everything.Within weeks, God opened doors for a job at a Christian radio station and a place to live through a coworker. For the first time, Sandi experienced Christian community up close. She began learning about prayer, devotionals, Scripture, and what it meant not simply to know about Jesus—but to surrender her life to Him as Lord.Eventually, Sandi faced another decision: <b>Would she continue hiding her faith, or would she live unashamed of the gospel?</b>Her decision to tell the truth led to letters sent to friends and family, painful backlash, public exposure, and strained relationships. But it also led to freedom, healing, restored relationships, and a faith she no longer had to hide.Today, Sandi teaches Scripture and encourages others to know God deeply and personally. She shares why **Song of Solomon 8:5—“Who is this coming up from the wilderness leaning on her beloved?”—**has become such a meaningful picture of her walk with God.In this conversation, Lauren and Sandi talk about <b>Judaism and Christianity, Messianic Jewish identity, family expectations, shame, secrecy, surrender, prayer, finding Jesus, spiritual transformation, and having the courage to live out your faith.</b>If you have ever wrestled with family expectations, felt afraid to openly live out your faith, or wondered whether God could meet you at rock bottom, Sandi’s story is a reminder that He can meet us in the wilderness—and teach us to lean on Him.<b>In This Episode</b>00:00 Meet Sandi York<br /> 00:46 Judaism Basics and Jesus<br /> 03:28 Messianic Jewish Identity<br /> 03:55 Growing Up Jewish in Alabama<br /> 07:28 A Closet Faith at Thirteen<br /> 09:43 Double Life Through College<br /> 13:03 Marriage and Career Crossroads<br /> 14:47 Workplace Friendship Turns Affair<br /> 16:16 Rock Bottom and 2AM Prayer<br /> 18:32 A Job at Christian Radio<br /> 19:14 God Opens Doors<br /> 20:29 Devotionals at Work<br /> 21:44 Bible Study Breakthrough<br /> 24:18 Owning the Faith<br /> 25:53 No More Hiding<br /> 26:54 Letters and Fallout<br /> 30:18 Public Exposure Storm<br /> 32:46 Aftermath and Apologies<br /> 35:05 Leaning on Beloved<br /> 37:52 Contact and Farewell<b>Connect with Sandi York</b>Learn more about Sandi, her Bible teaching, ministry, and resources:<br /> Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandi_york_<br /><br /><b>Connect with Lauren Burns</b>Learn more about <b>Lauren Burns</b>, The Redeemed Podcast, speaking events, upcoming book information, and free resources:Website <a href="http://laurenburns.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">laurenburns.net</a>Book STOLEN <a href="http://subscribepage.io/R8EW8e" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">subscribepage.io/R8EW8e</a> Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laurenburnsredeemed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/laurenburnsredeemed/</a>Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/laurenBredeemed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/laurenBredeemed/</a><br /><br />Subscribe to <b>The Redeemed Podcast</b> and join us for real stories of brokenness, healing, faith, miracles, and redemption.<b>“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story.” — Psalm 107:2</b>If Sandi’s testimony encouraged you, <b>subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode</b> with someone who needs to be reminded that following Jesus is worth saying yes—even when that yes comes with a cost.#SandiYork #RedeemedPodcast #LaurenBurns #JewishChristian #JewishBeliever #MessianicJew #JesusMessiah #ChristianTestimony #FaithStory #FindingJesus #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeacher #FaithInJesus #RedemptionStory #ChristianWomenhttps://www.emogeneandco.com/.

As fear and uncertainty surrounded her, God spoke a promise that she would hold onto throughout 56 days in ICU, multiple life-threatening setbacks, and countless moments when medical professionals believed she would not survive.While fighting for her own life, Lynn found herself encouraging nurses, praying with healthcare workers, worshiping through pain, and sharing God's faithfulness from her hospital bed. Her story is a powerful reminder that faith is not the absence of fear—it's choosing to trust God when circumstances seem impossible.Episode Timestamps00:00 Introduction02:00 Meet Lynn Strickland04:30 How Lynn Contracted COVID10:15 The Night God Spoke: "You Will Live"16:45 Returning Home and Rapid Decline21:00 Admitted to Vanderbilt Hospital24:30 56 Days in ICU29:45 Refusing the Ventilator34:15 "Give God a Few Minutes"36:30 Seeing Jesus at the Foot of Her Bed42:15 Ministering to Nurses and Doctors48:30 Worship Through the Pain54:00 Encouraging Others From Her Hospital Bed58:15 Walking Through Hard Seasons With Faith1:06:00 Hope Alive &amp; Faith Unchained1:09:30 Opening a Nutrition Store Through Faith1:14:30 What God Taught Her Through Suffering1:18:30 Final Encouragement for Listeners1:21:00 Closing PrayerIn This Episode• How Lynn contracted COVID and nearly lost her life• The moment God spoke a life-changing promise• Why she refused the ventilator despite mounting pressure• Seeing Jesus during her darkest hour• Encouraging doctors and nurses while fighting for survival• The power of worship in the middle of suffering• How to stand on God's promises when circumstances look impossible• Lessons on faith, healing, perseverance, and hopeKey ScripturesIsaiah 41:9-10Romans 15:131 Thessalonians 5:14Connect with Lynn StricklandFacebook:<br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/lchclynn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/lchclynn</a>Books:Hope Alive<br /><a href="https://a.co/d/09DRZnjX" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://a.co/d/09DRZnjX</a>Faith Unchained<br /><a href="https://a.co/d/0jgUwFtY" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://a.co/d/0jgUwFtY</a>Women World Leaders:<br /><a href="https://womenworldleaders.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://womenworldleaders.com</a>Connect with Lauren BurnsWebsite:<br /><a href="https://laurenburns.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://laurenburns.net</a>STOLEN: Kidnapped, Rescued, and Redeemed<br /><a href="https://a.co/d/0gv3Njw2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://a.co/d/0gv3Njw2</a>Subscribe to The Redeemed Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.Join the Redeemed Newsletter for encouragement, free resources, speaking updates, and exclusive content:<br /><a href="https://laurenburns.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://laurenburns.net</a>Help Others Discover The Redeemed PodcastIf this episode encouraged you, would you take 30 seconds to help us reach more people?✓ Follow The Redeemed Podcast✓ Leave a 5-Star Review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify✓ Share this episode with a friend who needs hope todayEvery review, share, and follow helps more people hear stories of faith, healing, forgiveness, resilience, and redemption.About The Redeemed PodcastThe Redeemed Podcast is a Christian podcast hosted by Lauren Burns featuring powerful testimonies of faith, healing, miracles, forgiveness, overcoming trauma, and God's redeeming grace.

As fear and uncertainty surrounded her, God spoke a promise that she would hold onto throughout 56 days in ICU, multiple life-threatening setbacks, and countless moments when medical professionals believed she would not survive.While fighting for her own life, Lynn found herself encouraging nurses, praying with healthcare workers, worshiping through pain, and sharing God's faithfulness from her hospital bed. Her story is a powerful reminder that faith is not the absence of fear—it's choosing to trust God when circumstances seem impossible.Episode Timestamps00:00 Introduction02:00 Meet Lynn Strickland04:30 How Lynn Contracted COVID10:15 The Night God Spoke: "You Will Live"16:45 Returning Home and Rapid Decline21:00 Admitted to Vanderbilt Hospital24:30 56 Days in ICU29:45 Refusing the Ventilator34:15 "Give God a Few Minutes"36:30 Seeing Jesus at the Foot of Her Bed42:15 Ministering to Nurses and Doctors48:30 Worship Through the Pain54:00 Encouraging Others From Her Hospital Bed58:15 Walking Through Hard Seasons With Faith1:06:00 Hope Alive &amp; Faith Unchained1:09:30 Opening a Nutrition Store Through Faith1:14:30 What God Taught Her Through Suffering1:18:30 Final Encouragement for Listeners1:21:00 Closing PrayerIn This Episode• How Lynn contracted COVID and nearly lost her life• The moment God spoke a life-changing promise• Why she refused the ventilator despite mounting pressure• Seeing Jesus during her darkest hour• Encouraging doctors and nurses while fighting for survival• The power of worship in the middle of suffering• How to stand on God's promises when circumstances look impossible• Lessons on faith, healing, perseverance, and hopeKey ScripturesIsaiah 41:9-10Romans 15:131 Thessalonians 5:14Connect with Lynn StricklandFacebook:<br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/lchclynn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/lchclynn</a>Books:Hope Alive<br /><a href="https://a.co/d/09DRZnjX" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://a.co/d/09DRZnjX</a>Faith Unchained<br /><a href="https://a.co/d/0jgUwFtY" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://a.co/d/0jgUwFtY</a>Women World Leaders:<br /><a href="https://womenworldleaders.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://womenworldleaders.com</a>Connect with Lauren BurnsWebsite:<br /><a href="https://laurenburns.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://laurenburns.net</a>STOLEN: Kidnapped, Rescued, and Redeemed<br /><a href="https://a.co/d/0gv3Njw2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://a.co/d/0gv3Njw2</a>Subscribe to The Redeemed Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.Join the Redeemed Newsletter for encouragement, free resources, speaking updates, and exclusive content:<br /><a href="https://laurenburns.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://laurenburns.net</a>Help Others Discover The Redeemed PodcastIf this episode encouraged you, would you take 30 seconds to help us reach more people?✓ Follow The Redeemed Podcast✓ Leave a 5-Star Review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify✓ Share this episode with a friend who needs hope todayEvery review, share, and follow helps more people hear stories of faith, healing, forgiveness, resilience, and redemption.About The Redeemed PodcastThe Redeemed Podcast is a Christian podcast hosted by Lauren Burns featuring powerful...]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2438</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>christian encouragement,christian testimony,covid miracle story,faith over fear,faith through trials,god's promises,healing testimony,hope during suffering,lauren burn,miracle healing,power of prayer,redeemed podcast,seeing jesus,trusting god</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/78ead8025f6f525cfa9baadce95150ae.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>115</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>What Happens When a Wife Refuses to Give Up?

From unanswered prayers and delayed dreams to medical challenges, relationship struggles, and financial uncertainty, Lauren speaks honestly about the tension between trusting God and longing for resolution.Lauren shares her personal journey of waiting on God through the book-writing process — a season marked by preparation, surrender, and learning to trust God when outcomes were out of her control. She also reflects on a powerful full-circle moment: <b>32 years after her mother shared their rescue story on </b><b>Heart to Heart </b><b>with Sheila Walsh, Lauren recently sat on the set of </b><b>Life Today</b><b> to share how God has redeemed and healed her story.</b>Drawing from the <b>biblical story of Esther</b>, Lauren highlights how endurance is often formed in hidden seasons — long before deliverance or breakthrough arrives. Esther’s twelve months of preparation remind us that waiting is not wasted time, but a sacred space where God is positioning, refining, and protecting His people.This episode is for anyone:<ul><li>Waiting on healing from a medical diagnosis</li><li>Navigating relationship or marriage challenges</li><li>Walking through financial stress or uncertainty</li><li>Feeling stuck between preparation and promise</li><li>Struggling to trust God’s timing</li></ul>Lauren encourages listeners to lean into prayer, surrender control, and trust that God is still working — even when progress feels invisible.<b>Waiting is not weakness. Waiting is endurance. And God wastes nothing.</b><br />⏱<b> Episode Chapters / Timestamps</b>00:00 – Introduction: Why Waiting Is So Hard<br /> 00:28 – Endurance When Life Feels Stuck<br /> 01:00 – The Book-Writing Season &amp; Trusting God<br /> 03:00 – Waiting Through Medical, Financial &amp; Relationship Struggles<br /> 06:30 – Esther’s Story: Preparation Before Breakthrough<br /> 12:00 – A Full-Circle Faith Moment (700 Club to Life Today)<br /> 17:30 – What God Teaches Us While We Wait<br /> 24:50 – Final Encouragement &amp; Prayer<br /> 26:10 – Closing Thoughts<br /><b>Contact</b> <b>Lauren:</b>Website <a href="http://laurenburns.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">laurenburns.net</a>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laurenburnsredeemed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/laurenburnsredeemed/</a>Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/laurenBredeemed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/laurenBredeemed/</a>Redeemed Newsletter: <a href="http://subscribepage.io/eft4YT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">subscribepage.io/eft4YT</a>Merch  <a href="https://www.hiscollectionapparel.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hiscollectionapparel.com/</a> Disount Descript <a href="https://get.descript.com/DescriptRedeemed" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://get.descript.com/DescriptRedeemed</a><br /><br /><b>Disclaimer:</b>The purpose of the Redeemed Podcast is to share the love of Jesus.

From unanswered prayers and delayed dreams to medical challenges, relationship struggles, and financial uncertainty, Lauren speaks honestly about the tension between trusting God and longing for resolution.Lauren shares her personal journey of waiting on God through the book-writing process — a season marked by preparation, surrender, and learning to trust God when outcomes were out of her control. She also reflects on a powerful full-circle moment: <b>32 years after her mother shared their rescue story on </b><b>Heart to Heart </b><b>with Sheila Walsh, Lauren recently sat on the set of </b><b>Life Today</b><b> to share how God has redeemed and healed her story.</b>Drawing from the <b>biblical story of Esther</b>, Lauren highlights how endurance is often formed in hidden seasons — long before deliverance or breakthrough arrives. Esther’s twelve months of preparation remind us that waiting is not wasted time, but a sacred space where God is positioning, refining, and protecting His people.This episode is for anyone:<ul><li>Waiting on healing from a medical diagnosis</li><li>Navigating relationship or marriage challenges</li><li>Walking through financial stress or uncertainty</li><li>Feeling stuck between preparation and promise</li><li>Struggling to trust God’s timing</li></ul>Lauren encourages listeners to lean into prayer, surrender control, and trust that God is still working — even when progress feels invisible.<b>Waiting is not weakness. Waiting is endurance. And God wastes nothing.</b><br />⏱<b> Episode Chapters / Timestamps</b>00:00 – Introduction: Why Waiting Is So Hard<br /> 00:28 – Endurance When Life Feels Stuck<br /> 01:00 – The Book-Writing Season &amp; Trusting God<br /> 03:00 – Waiting Through Medical, Financial &amp; Relationship Struggles<br /> 06:30 – Esther’s Story: Preparation Before Breakthrough<br /> 12:00 – A Full-Circle Faith Moment (700 Club to Life Today)<br /> 17:30 – What God Teaches Us While We Wait<br /> 24:50 – Final Encouragement &amp; Prayer<br /> 26:10 – Closing Thoughts<br /><b>Contact</b> <b>Lauren:</b>Website <a href="http://laurenburns.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">laurenburns.net</a>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laurenburnsredeemed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/laurenburnsredeemed/</a>Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/laurenBredeemed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/laurenBredeemed/</a>Redeemed Newsletter: <a href="http://subscribepage.io/eft4YT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">subscribepage.io/eft4YT</a>Merch  <a href="https://www.hiscollectionapparel.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hiscollectionapparel.com/</a> Disount Descript <a href="https://get.descript.com/DescriptRedeemed" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://get.descript.com/DescriptRedeemed</a><br /><br /><b>Disclaimer:</b>The purpose of the Redeemed Podcast is to share the love of Jesus.

This episode is for anyone who’s waiting, healing, or believing in a God who still performs miracles.⏱️<b> Episode Breakdown</b><ul><li>00:00 — Introduction to Lindsay Jeter’s miraculous story</li><li>01:46 — Background: Lindsay’s family, changes, and the lead-up to the accident</li><li>02:47 — The day of the plane crash and immediate aftermath</li><li>04:46 — Divine intervention, full recovery and what doctors said</li><li>14:45 — The grieving process and how faith sustained the family</li><li>20:27 — Rebuilding life, family bonding &amp; moving forward</li><li>26:12 — Faith, prayer, and recognizing everyday miracles</li><li>29:02 — Conclusion, key encouragement and final thoughts</li></ul><b>Miraculous survival &amp; divine intervention</b>: How Mason’s recovery challenged medical expectations and illustrated God’s hand in the unknown. <b>Grief, healing &amp; family faith</b>: Navigating the loss of loved ones, the strain of trauma, and the unshakable hope found in Christ.<b>Prayer as an anchor</b>: When Lindsay read Psalm 91:11 — “For He will command His angels concerning you…” — her faith surged and God responded. <b>Living testimony of hope</b>: Mason returned to school gifted-programs; today he’s thriving — a living proof that God can redeem even the most impossible situations.<br /><b> Lauren:</b>Website <a href="http://laurenburns.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">laurenburns.net</a>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laurenburnsredeemed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/laurenburnsredeemed/</a>Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/laurenBredeemed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/laurenBredeemed/</a>Redeemed Newsletter: <a href="http://subscribepage.io/eft4YT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">subscribepage.io/eft4YT</a>Merch  <a href="https://www.hiscollectionapparel.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hiscollectionapparel.com/</a> Disount Descript <a href="https://descript.cello.so/fbpbHzTVqwx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://descript.cello.so/fbpbHzTVqwx</a><br /><b>Lindsay:</b>Email lin717@aol.comFacebook https://www.facebook.com/lindsay.s.cooper.5<br />Disclaimer:The purpose of the Redeemed Podcast is to share the love of Jesus.

Carey discusses her initial struggle with her Catholic upbringing, her ensuing venture into New Age practices, and the persistent emptiness she felt despite achieving worldly success.

Sitting in my living room, reading Miranda Lambert's new cookbook "Y'all Eat Yet," memories of my childhood with the Lambert family flooded back. It was during those early high school years that I had the privilege of living with them. As I delved into the pages of the cookbook, reading the stories behind Beverly's famous meatloaf, I felt God calling to write my story- the story of my childhood when my father kidnapped me and took me to Jordan. Reflecting on the scriptures, 1 Kings 17:10-14 came to mind. It tells the story of Elijah approaching a widow and asking for food and water. Despite her dire circumstances, the widow was obedient she shared what little she had.  Inspired by this tale, I realized that if the widow could find the strength to be obedient, then I too could find the courage to answer God's call. By sharing my story, I hope to shed light on the struggles and triumphs that come with overcoming adversity. I aim to provide a message of hope and resilience, reminding others that they too can find strength in the face of their own challenges. So, as I embark on this writing journey, I do so with a heart full of faith and a determination to be obedient to the call that God has placed on my life. <ol><li>Feeling God's Call to tell my story</li><li>Reading Miranda Lambert's Cook Book</li><li>The Obedience of the Widow with Elijah 1 Kings 17:10-14</li></ol> Miranda Lamberts Cookbook https://store.mirandalambert.com/products/yall-eat-yet-welcome-to-the-pretty-btchin-kitchen <br /> My website <a href="http://laurenburns.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://laurenburns.net</a> Facebook laurenburnsredeemed <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557626467693" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557626467693</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">2effe154-5a0e-4423-bd83-6a5e5958b3d1</guid><pubDate>Wed, 17 Apr 2024 10:22:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/62290598/374492696_44100_2_494ba12054cd2.mp3" length="7967698" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Lauren</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>At the beginning of the year, I found myself pondering over God's plan for me.
