Have you ever felt unfinished? Forgiven of your sins, but not set free from your past? 

In Stripped, Darlene McLaughlin, a former exotic dancer turned Christian Counselor and pastor’s wife shares her journey from a condemned past to finding a complete freedom to minister with authenticity and vulnerability, without guilt or fear.

Your past may be the key to unlocking someone’s future. Your testimony has been in the enemy’s camp, and he’s been using it against you for too long. God wants you to take your testimony back, and bring it out of hiding, so He can use it to fight for His Kingdom. 

Stripped: Recovered and Refinished by the Hand of the Lord will encourage you to see people as God sees them, a work in His Hands. He may have to strip His people down, but He will always recover and refinish them for His glory.
