Ep. 4 | How Jesus Found a DJ w/ DJ Pure

In this episode, Lo sits down with a Swedish DJ whose life was radically transformed when God interrupted his relationship with music and revealed Himself through sound, stillness, and unexpected encounters. What began as a love for beats, rhythm, and creative expression turned into a calling—one that led him out of nightlife culture and into a life fully surrendered to Jesus. This conversation explores how the Holy Spirit pursues us in the places we least expect, how God speaks through creativity, and what it looks like to lay down our gifts so they can be used for His glory.

Ep. 3 | Tuned In Discerning the Voice of God

In this episode of the Living Chosen Podcast, I sit down with Prophet Ottis Reynolds for a powerful conversation on prophetic development and what it truly means to be “tuned in” to the voice of God. Together, we dive into: * How to sharpen your prophetic sensitivity and attune your ear to the Spirit. * Common distractions and hindrances that keep believers from hearing God clearly. * Practical steps for cultivating a lifestyle of prayer, worship, and obedience that opens your spiritual hearing. The importance of maturity, stewardship, and humility in prophetic ministry. * Insights from Prophet Reynolds’ journey that will encourage you to walk boldly in your prophetic identity.

Ep. 1 | It Starts with Separation

In this very first episode of the Living Chosen Podcast, we dive into the uncomfortable, yet beautiful truth: God uses separation to sanctify His own. I share personal stories from my college years—how choosing my undergraduate school and walking away from a Greek organization opportunity became pivotal moments of obedience. We talk about the dilemma of belonging, the spiritual warfare that targets your identity early on, and why separation isn't rejection — it’s redirection. This conversation is a call to embrace the refining work of God and trust His leadership even when it costs you proximity, popularity, or plans. If you’ve been feeling the sting of being set apart, this episode will remind you: you’re not being left behind — you're being called forward. ✨ Listen, subscribe, and share if this resonated with you! ✨ Follow me on Instagram @itsLaurenCrespo [https://www.instagram.com/itslaurencrespo/] for more encouragement. ✨ Subscribe to @itsLaurenCrespo [https://www.youtube.com/@itsLaurenCrespo] on Youtube for Vlogs and other encouraging content.
