Raised to Stay

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."
