Summary

When it comes to the church, we often talk about the hard and holy, but do we talk about the hope and holy? Natalie Runion from Raised to Stay is on today’s podcast to talk about all of this and so much more! Natalie is a pastor’s kid who went on to serve on church staff for many years. She experienced what many of us have experienced: hurt, betrayal, pain, confusion, exhaustion. But instead of turning her back on the Church, she leaned in to see what the Lord had for her in the midst of the suffering. Natalie’s story is one of surrender and we know you will be encouraged by it. The opinions of guests on the Daily Grace podcast do not represent the opinions of The Daily Grace Co., and we do not necessarily endorse the resources that they recommend or mention on the show. We believe it is valuable to hear from a variety of guests, even if we do not agree in all areas. As always, the statements made by hosts and guests on the show should be tested against God’s Word, the only authority on truth.
