Kathryn Kuhlman was a dramatic, passionate, determined, anointed, and controversial evangelist and teacher of the 20th century.

In this podcast, we talk about her life, including not just the high points but the low points as well. And hopefully, you'll come away from it convinced that man's dead ends can become God's fresh beginnings.
