| Summary |
An honest exploration of disappointment with the Church, Raised to Stay is for anyone weary of God's people but longing to keep their faith in God. God might seem silent right now. God's people might seem not worth the wounds. But hold on as Natalie Runion embarks on a journey for all who are wandering, wondering, and wrestling. Together, we will move toward trusting God again, knowing that even though Christian community may fail us, the love of God never fails. When we say yes to God, we don't say yes to church politics, ladder climbing, or burnout. We say yes to Jesus. We say yes to hope. We say yes to much that we can still embrace. Through honest words and deeply personal story, Runion challenges us to be part of a generation known for the passionate pursuit of Christ. To be remembered for loving one another, forgiving one another, and persevering with one another in our hunger for God. We aren't quitters. We are the stayers. Raised to Stay is for wandering church leaders, church goers, and church wounded. In a world of faulty promises, in communities that let us down, God can craft the pieces of our faith into something beautiful. A daughter of pastors who became a pastor, Natalie Runion shows how faith remnants can testify to a life dependent on God, not his Church or his people, and how that dependence frees us to return to that same Church and people with perseverance, hope, and a passion to pursue Jesus. Natalie Runion lives in Colorado with her husband, Tony, and her sweet daughters. She is the pastor of women and creative pastor of family ministry at New Life Church and creator of the Raised to Stay Community (@raisedtostay). |
