Should I stay or should I go?

Many people with faith backgrounds are asking themselves these questions the older they get, and the more the world around them changes and challenges their faith. Today, a friend of the show and outstanding human, Natalie Runion offers a much-needed conversation.

Pastor’s kid turned pastor, Natalie, her husband Tony and their two daughters live in Colorado Springs, Colorado where she served as a pastor of women and a worship pastor.  In her twenty years of ministry as a worship leader, songwriter, and pastor, Natalie has served various organizations and ministries across the country.

 In 2019 after watching many of her peers walk away from the church and their faith, Natalie began Raised to Stay, a ministry for those who have wandered, wondered, and wrestled with the Church and the challenges of full-time ministry. Known for her black boxes of hard truth on social media for the Church and church leaders, her heart is to see a generation finish their race as they partner with a good Father who is faithful to complete the work He began in each of us.

Natalie is a sought-after speaker and writer in the local and global Church, writing for She Reads Truth and other Christian publications.  Her debut book, Raised to Stay, published with David C Cook will be available in Summer 2023! You can learn more about Raised to Stay on Instagram at @raisedtostay and preorder her book on Amazon and other major retailers.
