As fear and uncertainty surrounded her, God spoke a promise that she would hold onto throughout 56 days in ICU, multiple life-threatening setbacks, and countless moments when medical professionals believed she would not survive.While fighting for her own life, Lynn found herself encouraging nurses, praying with healthcare workers, worshiping through pain, and sharing God's faithfulness from her hospital bed. Her story is a powerful reminder that faith is not the absence of fear—it's choosing to trust God when circumstances seem impossible.Episode Timestamps00:00 Introduction02:00 Meet Lynn Strickland04:30 How Lynn Contracted COVID10:15 The Night God Spoke: "You Will Live"16:45 Returning Home and Rapid Decline21:00 Admitted to Vanderbilt Hospital24:30 56 Days in ICU29:45 Refusing the Ventilator34:15 "Give God a Few Minutes"36:30 Seeing Jesus at the Foot of Her Bed42:15 Ministering to Nurses and Doctors48:30 Worship Through the Pain54:00 Encouraging Others From Her Hospital Bed58:15 Walking Through Hard Seasons With Faith1:06:00 Hope Alive & Faith Unchained1:09:30 Opening a Nutrition Store Through Faith1:14:30 What God Taught Her Through Suffering1:18:30 Final Encouragement for Listeners1:21:00 Closing PrayerIn This Episode• How Lynn contracted COVID and nearly lost her life• The moment God spoke a life-changing promise• Why she refused the ventilator despite mounting pressure• Seeing Jesus during her darkest hour• Encouraging doctors and nurses while fighting for survival• The power of worship in the middle of suffering• How to stand on God's promises when circumstances look impossible• Lessons on faith, healing, perseverance, and hopeKey ScripturesIsaiah 41:9-10Romans 15:131 Thessalonians 5:14Connect with Lynn StricklandFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/lchclynnBooks:Hope Alivehttps://a.co/d/09DRZnjXFaith Unchainedhttps://a.co/d/0jgUwFtYWomen World Leaders:https://womenworldleaders.comConnect with Lauren BurnsWebsite:https://laurenburns.netSTOLEN: Kidnapped, Rescued, and Redeemedhttps://a.co/d/0gv3Njw2Subscribe to The Redeemed Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.Join the Redeemed Newsletter for encouragement, free resources, speaking updates, and exclusive content:https://laurenburns.netHelp Others Discover The Redeemed PodcastIf this episode encouraged you, would you take 30 seconds to help us reach more people?✓ Follow The Redeemed Podcast✓ Leave a 5-Star Review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify✓ Share this episode with a friend who needs hope todayEvery review, share, and follow helps more people hear stories of faith, healing, forgiveness, resilience, and redemption.About The Redeemed PodcastThe Redeemed Podcast is a Christian podcast hosted by Lauren Burns featuring powerful testimonies of faith, healing, miracles, forgiveness, overcoming trauma, and God's redeeming grace.
