The more I grew in my relationship with Christ, the more he peeled my shame away and showed me that my identity is in him and not the consequence of my sin.

He made me redeem and has allowed me to live in freedom through his forgiveness.

Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast, where everyday women share stories of hope found in Jesus.

I'm Robin, and I am here with Lindy and Katie, and we are your podcast host.

Today, we're bringing you really an incredible story from Lauren.

I know I also love it when our storytellers are a little bit on the younger side, which Lauren is.

I first of all just want to thank Lauren for

allowing storytellers to be the place where she shared her story to unlock any chains of shame

that she had from her past. Her story is about an unplanned pregnancy, but it really is so much

more than that. It's truly a story of that God sees you. He comes alongside of you. He sends

miracles your way every day

so that you know that he's there. And so I just think we have to open our eyes to his presence.

And I think Lauren's story will help you see that. Our Patreon community is in for a treat today, guys.

We are doing a community spotlight with Tupelo. The women in Tupelo, that community team,

has been so strong,

such gracious volunteers, and we are so thankful for them. So join us over on Patreon.

You can click the link in the show notes, or you can go to our website at

storytellerslive.org. Here's Lauren.

I'm Lauren, obviously, and I'm married to my sweet husband of almost six years in March,

and we have two beautiful babies.

And getting to the point of sharing my story has been a journey for sure, but I'm excited to finally share it today.

And I read this guided prayer this morning, and I just thought it was so fitting for today.
