Natalie Runion is the founder of Raised to Stay, author, worship leader, and pastor’s kid turned pastor. After watching people she loved walk away from the church, Natalie began writing about her own wrestling with faith and church hurt. What started as personal reflection grew into a global community committed to staying with Jesus while pursuing healing and restoration within the Church.

In this episode, we talk about why it can feel so difficult for women to find true, sacred sisterhood. Why does gossip creep in so easily? Why does jealousy divide us? Why are strong female leaders often labeled “controlling”? And why do working moms and stay-at-home moms sometimes turn on each other instead of linking arms? Natalie speaks candidly about the cultural and church dynamics that fracture women’s relationships and what it takes to build genuine, life-giving friendships instead.
