Join Natalie for this special summer series of unpacking the black boxes.  This week we are unpacking a popular box, "Many don't want their foundations rebuilt on Jesus because they have grown comfortable with the one they've built on the world..."  Natalie shares the first four chapters of her new book, The House That Jesus Built and the challenges with inspecting our personal foundations in Christ as well as inspecting our foundations in the local church.

This summer Natalie unpacks some of the most popular black (and blue) boxes from her Raised to Stay online community.  This week she dives into her latest black box- "Stop trying to get into rooms where God has closed the door- it is very important to know the difference between a Holy Spirit invitation and breaking and entering."

Join Natalie and Pastor Christina Hoagland and Jordan Lewis from New Life Church in Colorado Springs, CO as they discuss the role of women in ministry as pastors and carriers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  This raw conversation is hosted by Natalie and recorded in a special cohort of eighty women who came together weekly to discuss hard and holy topics in ministry- listen in and learn along with us!

Natalie joins Pastor David Ruybalid, Faith Renewal and Religious Trauma Informed Recovery Pastor at Life Church Peoria to discuss the challenges of going back into a faith community after being hurt by a trusted leader or organization.  David shares his story of sexual and spiritual abuse in the church and how God has used his story to help bring others hope in a healing Father and finding a safe home to rest your weary soul.
