Summary

This week Leslie continues her Historical Mentors series with an inspiring look at the life of Catherine Booth, the co-founder of the Salvation Army. All through her life, Catherine kept her spiritual fire aflame against incredible odds. Her example reminds us that we have no excuses for accepting mediocrity in our Christian walk. Catherine's amazing journey urges us to “leave it all on the field”, by God's grace, and for His glory. As Leslie unpacks Catherine's life, you will be challenged not to settle for less than “the impossible God-enabled life” that God has called you to.

0:31.5	I wanted to freshly highlight her and some spiritual lessons
0:34.7	that I've learned from her. I also wanted to encourage you to check out our
