Raised to Stay Devotional

A 40-Day Journey from Hurt to Holy

This interactive devotional based on the USA Today bestselling book takes us on a journey through the hurt, the hard, the hope, and the holy of following Jesus and loving his people.

Natalie Runion’s first book, Raised to Stay, brought challenging but healing conversations to churches around the world. Now in this inspiring devotional, Natalie draws from forty of the social media messages that have most deeply resonated with her Raised to Stay community of 200,000 followers.

Highly relevant for our times, the Raised to Stay Devotional shows us the way back into spiritual and community life, offering:

• Biblical hope for anyone who wants to follow God but is weary of his people
• Acknowledgment of disappointment and encouragement to forgive
• Powerful takeaway statements for moving forward in specific areas of pain
• Thoughtful prompts to invite engagement and further healing

A gentle but motivating companion, Natalie guides us toward a Jesus who welcomes our wrestling as we discover that what looks like a crucifixion might just be the start of a resurrection. Because when your soul aches and your faith falters…there is still a way home.
