#WalkItOut Podcast 59: Kate Battistelli

Do you have part of your story that you’ve held back? Maybe you’re scared to share a part of your life because you made a mistake. You feel shame, you feel guilt, you’re worried about what other people will say. I have had many of those stories in my life. I had an abortion at fifteen and for the longest time, I wanted to hide that — even from my closest friends. I was afraid that if anyone found out, they would hate me. God really wants to bring us freedom. He wants us to walk in the fullness that is Him, and in His love. It’s the guilt and shame that hold us back. I just love when people find freedom and are able to share their stories.

Kate Battistelli is an author, blogger, speaker, vlogger, and former Broadway actress. Last year on the podcast, after having to reschedule our conversation, Kate opened up and shared a part of her story that she had never before shared publically. We both know that is the reason why the first recording didn’t work. Since then, Kate has been able to open up and tell her story freely. And she shares it in her new book The God Dare: Will You Chose to Believe the Impossible. I love that God will use even a messed up podcast interview for us to take a step to be brave for doing what he dares asks us to do.

I pray that you’re going to be blessed by my conversation with Kate! You can listen above or on iTunes! I’d love it if you shared with your friends!

In today’s episode, we’re chatting with Kate Battistelli.

If you’re a fan of Christian, contemporary music that last name may sound familiar. Kate is the mother of the amazing, Christian artist, Francesca Battistelli. A professional Broadway actress, Kate had a thriving career when God radically transformed her life, but that doesn’t mean that Kate’s life was easy. During our chat, Kate pours out her heart about pregnancy loss and her questions about the good future God had planned for her and her family, especially how God saw them through when life didn’t look as she thought it would.

Yet despite hardships, Kate clung to God, and she now mentors women, urging them to do the same. She’s written an amazing book: Growing Great Kids: Partnering with God to Cultivate His Purpose in Your Child’s Life. And in this interview we chat about what Kate’s working on now … an exciting project.

My prayer is that from Kate’s story you’ll discover how much your surrender to God really matters. You can listen above or on iTunes! I’d love it if you shared with your friends!
