When Trauma Meets Jesus: A Story of Redemption and Restoration

In this powerful episode of The Redeemed Podcast, host Lauren Burns sits down with Sandra Lawson, author of Beyond Recognition: A Story of Triumph Against All Odds, to share a raw and hope-filled testimony of redemption.
Sandra opens up about her traumatic childhood marked by abuse, bullying, and growing up with a mother who struggled with mental illness. She vulnerably shares her battle with shame, suicidal thoughts, and the lasting impact trauma had on her identity — and how everything changed when she encountered Jesus.
Through faith in Christ, Sandra discovered healing, deliverance, and freedom. She speaks honestly about learning to pray, wrestling with Scripture, embracing humility and surrender, and experiencing the power of Jesus’ name in the darkest moments of her life. Her story highlights the importance of forgiveness, the healing process after abuse, and how God restores what trauma tries to destroy.
Today, Sandra’s mission is to mentor others out of shame and into the freedom found in Christ. This episode is a reminder that no past is too broken and no pain is beyond God’s power to redeem.
If you’ve walked through abuse, trauma, or deep emotional pain — or if you’re struggling to believe healing is possible — Sandra’s testimony will remind you that Jesus meets us in our darkest moments and leads us into freedom.
