NATALIE RUNION, RAISED TO STAY, IS SPEAKING

We are privileged to partner with the incredible Natalie Runion. Natalie has taken the social media world by storm with her insightful, prophetic posts championing the church but calling us to authentic, godly living. She is a Pastor’s Kid turned Pastor who lives in Kentucky with her husband Tony and daughters, She has been involved in church life from birth and knows the struggles, the strains, the joys and the breakthroughs. Natalie wrote her first book, with David C. Cook, called "Raised to Stay", which took the Christian world by storm. This first book shared her story of being raised in the church and how she has learned to "stay", holding on to Jesus. Her second release "The House that Jesus Built", gives practical help to us as disciples wanting to navigate deconstruction and discouragement to build on God's Word.

Her latest release "I don't even like Women" is tackling the lies that get in the way of biblical sisterhood. A book for women who struggle with women yet who long for genuine community and connection.
