Send us a text In this powerful episode of the Redeemed Podcast, host Lauren Burns reconnects with her high school friend Frank Miller to share a raw and hope-filled story of redemption. Frank opens up about growing up in Lindale, Texas, and the challenges that followed him through high school and into adulthood—addiction, unresolved trauma, and the devastating loss of his best friend. What began as casual drinking slowly turned into a downward spiral of substance abuse, isolation, and despair. As Frank shares honestly about the grip addiction had on his life, he also reveals the pivotal moments that changed everything: confession, accountability, and a desperate decision to seek help. Through faith in Jesus, the unwavering support of his wife, and a commitment to sobriety, Frank’s life began to transform. This conversation reflects themes found in Through the Eyes of a Lion by Levi Lusko—that pain doesn’t have the final word, and God can bring purpose and redemption out of even the deepest loss. Frank’s testimony is a reminder that: Confession brings freedomAccountability sustains healingGod restores what addiction tries to destroyIf you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, grief, or shame, this episode offers hope that redemption is possible—and that no story is beyond God’s reach. 🎧 Listen now and be encouraged by a story of grace, restoration, and new life. ⏱ Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction & Reuniting with Frank 01:24 – Growing Up in Lindale, Texas 02:04 – Alcohol, Drugs, and the Downward Spiral 03:24 – Trauma and the Loss of a Best Friend 06:17 – Life in Dallas: Addiction and Isolation 12:48 – The Turning Point: Seeking Help 16:53 – Confession, Accountability, and Faith 21:53 – Marriage, Family, and a New Life 25:14 – Gratitude, Reflection, and Redemption 27:13 – Final Encouragement Contact Lauren: Website laurenburns.net Instagram https://www.instagram.com/laurenburnsredeemed/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laurenBredeemed/ Redeemed Newsletter: subscribepage.io/eft4YT Merch https://www.hiscollectionapparel.com/ Disount Descript https://get.descript.com/DescriptRedeemed Disclaimer: The purpose of the Redeemed Podcast is to share the love of Jesus.
