Show Notes for Episode 152 with Natalie Runion
Natalie Runion of Raised to Stay talks about her love for the church, the reality of church hurt, and the importance of being a healthy leader.
Today’s Guest: Natalie Runion and her husband Tony and their two daughters live in Colorado Spring, CO, where she is on staff at New Life Church. 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. Her heart is to see a generation of leaders finish their race as they partner with a good Father who is faithful to complete the work He began in each of us.
