In this episode of the 'Navigating the Wilderness' podcast, I’m joined by author and speaker Kate Battastelli. We discuss Kate's journey from Broadway actress to embracing God's call to a different life path, including struggles with infertility and discovering purpose beyond traditional societal roles. Kate shares how her book 'The God Dare' came to be and offers insights on trusting God's guidance even in silence and challenging seasons. I hope our conversation will encourage you to trust in God's timing and take your God Dare when it is revealed to you.
