S2 EP 2 The American Dream: Have we been sold a lie?

Published on: 31st January, 2024

Welcome to today's episode of the Iron Women! Today we are discussing the concept of the American Dream. What once started as the pursuit of religious freedom and life and liberty has morphed into something that breeds self-indulgence, anxiety and burnout. Join us for the discussion today as we take this concept and bring it back to the bible and how God calls us to live as His kids.

Three Generations

Welcome to the table, where three women of three generations are navigating together how to pursue God as Father, Jesus as Lord, and Spirit as Shepherd through every stage of life.

About your host

Lauren Henriques

Lauren moved to to a small South Carolina town with her family three years ago to be closer to the mountains, so she thought. Unbeknownst to her, God had some bigger plans to deepen her passionate pursuit of Christ by propelling her forward in her understanding of the word of God through a local church. Lauren has always been a passionate, fun-loving, energetic encourager at her core! She has been zealously pursuing a relationship with Jesus Christ for just over 14 years after He saved her from a life rooted in recklessness and addiction. She now serves on the Women's Ministry team at her local church as the Media coordinator and continues to hone her skills and learn how to become a bible teacher in her local community. Lauren also owns and operates a small media company where she takes advantage of the opportunity to share Christ with people who may never ordinarily step foot through the doors of a church. She uses every opportunity she can to love God and love people passionately.
