In this episode we get to hear from the dynamic Kathy Mackin - a woman who genuinely lives her faith in Jesus to all those around her. She welcomes all that God brings in to her life and just simply loves them. 

She has journeyed through this complex season and has really begun to have a significant burden - a call from the Lord for us to rise up in Prayer.  Take time to hear her heart. You will be blessed and challenged.

In this season and really all the time - the body of Christ needs to be focused on discipleship. Many Christians just don't know how. This is the beginning of a conversation that I think will really help!
