Discipleship in Marriage: God's Favorite Group Project

Laura Williams: The Voice of a Disciple

In this episode of All the Things with Lauren Alexander, Laura Williams joins us for a conversation recorded in front of a live audience from Girls’ Night Out: Christmas! It goes beyond the spotlight and into the story God has been writing behind the scenes.   We talk about the chapter of her life that best reveals God’s work, the weaknesses He has turned into strength, and the disciplines and surrender that are shaping her faith right now. Laura shares about trusting God in the quiet, recognizing His leading in uncomfortable seasons, and how what once felt like a detour became divine direction.   We also step into her experience on The Voice, including what surprised her most, what was going through her mind during her blind audition, and what Reba and Niall are really like behind the scenes!    We close with a quick look at what is anchoring her faith in this season, from Scripture to song to the truths she is holding onto.   This episode is honest, encouraging, and a reminder that God is at work in every moment, whether on or off the platform.

Disciples That Heal: Reaching the 21st-Century Mission Field of the Traumatized

Trauma is everywhere—in our families, churches, and communities. But what if the Church became the safest place on earth for the hurting? In this episode, Producer Kevin explores why Lauren believes trauma is the 21st-century mission field in the U.S. With insights from neuroscience, Scripture, and her own journey, Lauren unpacks how disciples can walk alongside the wounded with the healing presence of Jesus.   Listen and discover how the fruit of the Spirit, the ministry of presence, and the re-membering power of Communion can bring real hope and restoration.     ACE-Q Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire [https://novopsych.com/lp/adverse-childhood-experiences-questionnaire-ace-q-lp/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22938271420&gbraid=0AAAABAHXArraosbWejGptYD2Q71I9735_]  Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad [https://a.co/d/8B2ZZz4] Ministering to Trauma Survivors: 3 Lessons from the Book of Job [https://www.logos.com/grow/min-job-ministering-trauma/?id_mc=38162254&utm_campaign=Weekly_Blog_Email&utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Weekly_Blog_Email+-+2025+Rework&utm_id=359971&sfmc_id=38162254]   For questions or comments regarding the podcast please email: allthethingslauren@gmail.com

Discipleship at the Speed of Life with Beth Warren

This week on All the Things with Lauren Alexander, we’re taking you inside a very special night — Girls’ Night Out at Word of Life Church in Bicknell, Indiana!   I had the joy of sitting down with my friend Beth Warren — Operations Director and pastor’s wife at Victory Church in Tipp City, Ohio — for a live recording of the podcast in front of a room full of incredible women (and plenty of desserts!).   Beth is wise, hilarious, and refreshingly honest. Together, we talk about:     •    how to build a healthy church culture      •    How she had approached discipling her kids as a mom and ministry leader.     •    The women who discipled her, and how their investment still shapes her walk with Jesus today.     •    The power of women gathering at events like Girls’ Night Out and HER Conference.     •    Her (and MY) most embarrassing ministry moment (laugh along with us).     •    And one simple but powerful challenge for every woman to take her next step with Jesus.   It was a night full of laughter, encouragement, and the sweet reminder that discipleship is following Jesus in the everyday moments of our lives.   💡 And speaking of powerful gatherings — I would love for you to join me at the All the Things Conference! It’s designed to help you know Jesus more deeply, walk in the Spirit more freely, and step into discipleship with courage and joy.
