Healing for your wounds. Hope for your faith.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. As Natalie Runion reminds us, when we say yes to God, we don't say yes to church politics or burnout. We say yes to Jesus. We say yes to hope. We say yes to much that we can still embrace.

Through her own deeply personal story, Natalie Runion, a daughter of a pastor and ministry leader, brings this unspoken issue to the forefront. She shares how dependence on God, and not people from church, will help provide the healing and direction you need. Reliance on God will free you from the past and allow you to join others like you who passionately love and pursue Jesus.

Raised to Stay is for wandering church leaders, churchgoers, and church wounded. Because in a world of faulty promises, in communities that let us down, God can craft the pieces of our faith into something beautiful.
