Shame. Fear. Identity crisis. Our generation—especially young adults and parents—is silently drowning in hidden battles. We long for freedom, yet so often search for it through striving, rituals, or more information. All the while, we navigate deep waters of confusion, facing demonic resistance and relentless cultural pressure. Does God still show up in the chaos? Can Jesus really meet us in our mess—just as He did the woman at the well? And when we finally meet Him — can we still find it in ourselves to wholly and completely surrender to God?In this episode of the Revelations Podcast, host Reagan Kramer welcomes Laurel Bunker: preacher, educator, and spiritual mother to many. With over 30 years of ministry in higher education and nonprofit leadership, Laurel shares her deeply personal journey from performance-based religion to radical intimacy with the Living Word. She opens up about confronting demonic oppression, overcoming self-hatred, and raising daughters in a world flooded with lies.Rooted in the story of the woman at the well, this conversation is a call to lay down shame, reclaim identity, and rise in kingdom authority. If you're weary from the fight, questioning your worth, or longing to hear God's voice again—pause. Take a seat by the well. Encounter Jesus. Surrender to God; drink deeply of His grace and be restored.Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Gain biblical clarity on how to surrender to God and live fully in “Spirit and Truth,” beyond mere rituals and religion.Understand how shame, demonic influence, and the culture of people-pleasing hinder identity.Learn how a transformational encounter with Jesus breaks lifelong bondage, as told through Laurel Bunker's story.Become Part of Our Mission!

I'm giving it all away for Jesus now, you know. We got to redeem the time.”The cultural tension between Jews and Samaritans sets the stage for Jesus' radical act of compassion and revelation.This moment shatters cultural shame and personal guilt, proving Jesus meets people right where they are.[9:01] Transformation and Worship in Spirit and TruthOne conversation with Jesus turns the Samaritan woman into an evangelist to her entire town.Her transformation ripples outward, showing that personal encounters with truth can spark collective revival.According to Laurel, true worship isn't tied to a location or ritual. Instead, we must act our faith through a surrendered, Spirit-filled life.Living in spirit and truth becomes more than theology—it becomes a multiplying force of freedom.[20:25] Challenges and Encouragement for BelieversLegalism, shame, and spiritual burnout are real struggles for modern believers.Laurel shares how her own religious performance led to exhaustion and how encountering Jesus brought lasting freedom.[22:51] Laurel: “I promise you, growing up all the way into my 20s, in my early 20s, I would look at Christ or images of him, or Christ on the cross, and I wouldn't know who- I didn't know who he was.”Wounds from church experiences don't have to write the final chapter of your faith. Healing and purpose remain possible when we surrender to God.Believers are encouraged to live a lifestyle of repentance, humility, and unfiltered honesty before God.[32:28] The Power of the Holy Spirit in Modern TimesThe Holy Spirit isn't a concept confined to the early church—it's a present force guiding and healing today.Laurel shares stories of spiritual breakthrough and reminds believers that revival begins with personal obedience.Following Jesus means actively listening, discerning, and stepping into purpose led by the Spirit.The call is clear: lean into the Holy Spirit's presence and let Him do the work only He can do.[40:49] Addressing Shame and Finding Freedom in ChristShame distorts identity and silences spiritual authority, but it doesn't have the final word. Laurel herself has journeyed through a valley of deep shame — but Christ's love shattered every lie.Freedom came not through hiding, but through confession and grace. Through the relentless pursuit of truth, she was able to surrender to God.Listeners are urged to stop hiding, start healing, and reclaim their place as sons and daughters of the King.[47:20] Reagan: “That's what Jesus does. He unites people. He does so because he's bringing people together through the truth of the gospel.”[48:40] Living a Life of Worship and ServiceBeing able to surrender to God and worship goes beyond music—it's found in daily acts of obedience, faithfulness, and service.Laurel encourages believers to discover how their unique gifts can be expressions of worship.Even small acts of faithfulness carry weight in the Kingdom when done in love and obedience.Listeners are reminded that God honors hearts surrendered in both the big and the quiet, hidden places.[55:16] Understanding the Spiritual JourneyLiving by the Spirit requires intentional daily surrender.Laurel explains how believers must crucify the flesh and embrace the eternal life birthed through the Spirit.The Holy Spirit becomes the source of joy, healing, and clarity in a chaotic world.It's not about trying harder, but walking in step with the Spirit who renews us from the inside out.[1:03:38] Laurel: “I refuse to give human beings and this world more praise and more of my energy and my day than I give the one who gave his life for me.”[1:12:22] An Invitation to Surrender to GodRather than striving to fix what's broken, listeners are encouraged to sit with Jesus—just as they are—and receive the healing that only His love can bring.No weapon formed against you will prosper.No lie of the enemy can stand against the truth of your identity in Christ.Say yes to restoration. Say yes to Jesus. Surrender to God and let your journey of healing begin—right here, right now.About LaurelLaurel Bunker is a seasoned preacher, educator, and spiritual leader with over three decades of ministry experience across higher education, nonprofits, and the local church.

Prayer is a powerful and transformative practice that lets us talk to God and connect with him intimately. It is not just a simple conversation but a lifeline that sustains us through every challenge and triumph. Through prayer, we experience our Lord's profound love, guidance, and the unshakable assurance that He loves us. Even when His answers to our prayers take time, God provides what we need in His own way.In this powerful episode of the Revelations Podcast, Reagan invites Laurel Bunker, a dynamic preacher, educator, leader and V.P. of Training and Education at Pulse Evangelism, to talk about the supernatural power of prayer and how it impacts heaven and earth.

It aims to train people to talk to God, share their faith, and evangelize without fear.[04:44] Daughter of the Most High KingLaurel first experienced a rigid relationship with God, driven by fear and duty rather than love. She was taught to fear Him and felt at fault for Christ's suffering and sacrifice.She learned the truth in college. Laurel realized God's love for her and changed her perspective as the daughter of the High King.Your relationship with Christ and how you see yourself in the eyes of God changes your Christian life.Laurel lived in fear and was bound by it. Jesus pulled her free so that she could move in Him and talk to God without fear.Don't simply listen and believe what others say. You also need to examine what you believe and study it. Use the Word of God and the many resources we have today to stand boldly in our faith.[21:11] What Is Prayer and Why Is It An Integral Part of Your Life?Prayer is the heart's posture and soul's surrender in communion with God. We need to focus our hearts and minds on our time and conversation with God.Even if God knows everything, He still wants to hear from you and communicate with love through prayer. [22:46] Laurel: “When we have both our heart and our soul, in communion with God, without fear or shame, we can communicate with the one who loves us and knows us best.” Like in any relationship, communication is important. Talk to God. Maintain your union with Him through communion in prayer.Pray to the One True God and not to any false gods. Don't let idols distract and divide your heart and mind.A lot of people were never taught about prayer. However, it's important to learn about prayer, fasting, and meditating on God's Words to keep you focused on your intimate relationship with God.[30:42] Understanding Prayer in the Word of GodLaurel talks about John 17, the moment when Jesus is preparing to sacrifice Himself to take on our sins. He prays not just for His disciples but also for His future believers.Daniel's prayer, Hannah's prayer, and Esther's prayer show their honesty and their hearts on display as they pray to God. It is this honesty and knowledge that they can go to God for grace and help that is in these prayers.Jesus is constantly interceding and fighting for us. He prays for us, the Holy Spirit is with us, and angels watch over us to protect us.Even when you're too busy or have no words, you can do it anywhere and however short or long. It doesn't have to be perfect.Beyond the power of prayer in strengthening our intimate relationship with God, it also aligns our minds and prepares and protects us. Prayer is a part of our armor.[49:38] Living a Prayer LifeGod listens and recognizes our pain. He might not always act on it how and when we want Him to but it's important to trust Him.Understand God's character and His many names. From El Roi, Jehovah Shalom, and more, these names help you understand the vastness and multifaceted nature of God.We know Jesus from a human point of view. However, we can know Him differently and remember how we're made new through His sacrifice.Coming together in prayer can be powerful. Laurel and Reagan talk about their tabernacle experience where they felt the Holy Spirit come and sit with them.Read the Scripture and the conversations between God and His people. The simple personal prayers based on His Word can be the most powerful.[01:05:30] The Power of Praying Out LoudPraying out loud is a proclamation of faith. It is a way to decree and declare God's truth and authority.With His absolute authority, prayer pushes back the enemy and denies the power of what Satan speaks.As we pray, it's important to believe in God's strength especially when you are weak.Prayer and God's Word can pull you out of negative emotions and situations, just like how Laurel was pulled out of her fear by building her faith through prayer.Don't be afraid, the Lord is with you. Get past the fear and resignation to go and spread the gospel and faith. [01:13:53] Reagan: “Proclaim who Jesus is and that you are covered in the blood of Christ so that the enemy can't touch you. There is power in speaking that out loud that the enemy knows that you are speaking in your authority in shutting the door.”[01:14:17] Why Pray?Prayer is a gift that was given to us, no strings attached; all you have to do is accept it.Know that God responds, He hears, sees, knows, understands, and loves us.In your relationship with God, commune with him. Talk to God and let him know that you love Him. Know too that God loves you.It's worth cultivating your relationship with God so that you can stand before Him and worship Him for what He's done.[01:17:22] Laurel's Answered PrayerGod has always opened a door for Laurel when one closes as she applies for a job.However, that didn't happen for Laurel. Instead, God answered in a different way by providing rest, allowing her to preach, and travel the world. [01:19:03] Laurel: “Answered prayer oftentimes doesn't come in one giant perfected, tied with a bow, answer. Sometimes it comes unrolling something where you get bit by bit.” Stepping into a new season of life for Laurel, her answered prayer was revealed little by little.It is through this time of elongated prayer that she was able to get to know God, talk to God, cultivate an intimate relationship with Him, and learn to forgive and trust.God wants you. He is listening. The first step to communicating with God is to receive Him as your Lord and Saviour.About LaurelLaurel Bunker is a dynamic preacher, educator, and leader with over 30 years of experience in ministry, higher education, and non-profit sectors.

Family Fest Winter Weekend - January 2018. Saturday Morning presentation. Opening talk for the weekend. Summary: God is coming to do a new thing in our lives. He desires to restore us and to bring us to his full glory. We need to let go of the old things and embrace the new. What might be God attempting to show you in this season of life? What part of your life could use examination and renovation? What bold, audacious, dream, vision, passion, or holy desire is in your heart. Scripture: Isaiah 43, Jeremiah 13:8-11, 3 John 2,

Talk following Marc Seymour's testimony on Sunday morning worship. The Lord is My Light and My Salvation. If you ever have asked God why it doesn't make you a bad Christian, if you've ever struggled and asked God, "What's the point of my suffering?" It doesn't make you a bad Christian. God is big enough to deal with our grief. He's big enough to deal with the uncertain questions. He's big enough to deal with our sin. Scripture: Psalm 27

Winter Weekend Talk #2. God's "I Am" is greater than my "What If's". God calls us to rest. We often feel that rest is self-indulgent. God is calling us to lay down our objections, our worries. He is calling us to a place of rest for our souls, our minds, our wills, and our emotions. What are the sources of your unrest? What does life look like when you are rested?   Scripture: Psalm 23 - The Lord is my Shepherd, John 10:11-15, Galatians 5:22,

Laurel Bunker Talk #5 on Martin Luther King Day. Monday Morning. How do we continue to gain momentum against the forces of darkness? Satan is invading our intimate spaces and the promises of God. The power of the Holy Spirit declares us to stand up and suit up with the full armor of God. You only get the Holy Spirit if you first grab Jesus, but when you grab Jesus, you get the Holy Spirit. You get Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. You are not alone. Together, we stand. We pray. We bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. We remember the cloud of witnesses who stand as a great gallery of believers, those who have gone before us, who are cheering us on to the very end. This is a war that despite casualties, we are destined to win. Scripture - John 14

Laurel Bunker Talk #4 at the Night at the Ball Dinner. Sunday Evening. Do you remember your great turning day? Do you remember the day when you recognized the blessing of freedom for which Christ died, the sweetness of relief that was yours for the asking? Rejoice as you ponder the reality that if anyone be in Christ, they are a new creation. This new life in Christ comes with a desire to explore a life away from past regrets and to be completely immersed in a life where the eyes of Jesus are constantly on us and our eyes are constantly on him. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5: 14-17
