Kidnapped & Set Free: Lauren’s First Public Testimony of God’s Rescue

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of abuse and trauma. Listener discretion is advised.

What if the only thing standing between you and death… was the name of Jesus?

In this gripping and emotional episode of Out of Focus, Shannon Stewart sits down with Lauren Depuy as she shares her story publicly for the very first time. From a childhood in church to being kidnapped and held captive by a violent abuser, Lauren’s journey is one of terror, spiritual warfare, and supernatural deliverance.

Starved, handcuffed, and trapped in fear, Lauren clung to one song — “There’s Just Something About That Name.” Each time she sang it, her abuser stopped. What she didn’t realize was that God’s presence was fighting for her.

This is not just a story of survival. It’s a testimony of a God who rescues, redeems, and restores — even from the darkest prisons.

🌟 In this episode, you’ll hear:

· The red flags that led to a deadly relationship

· The terrifying months of captivity and abuse

· The power of Jesus’ name in moments of danger

· The miraculous rescue that brought her home

· How God turned trauma into a platform for hope and healing

If you’ve ever wondered whether your story is too broken to be redeemed, Lauren’s testimony will remind you — God’s love reaches the lowest places.

📖 Scripture Anchors: Psalm 23 · Isaiah 61:3 · Romans 8:28
