I picked up Kristen Welch's book "Rhinestone Jesus" a few months ago as an easy read on a long airline trip. I had no idea how that book would change my perspective. When I got home from the trip, I found Kristen's website and asked if she would come on our podcast to talk about her book and her incredible experience in founding Mercy House Global. She was kind enough to say yes, and we hadn't even launched our podcast yet.
Meet Kristen Welch. Her book cover says it best:
"Rhinestone Jesus is the spiritual adventure story of one woman who went from living a safe, "good-girl" faith that didn't cost much, to realizing that God was daring her to say yes to a deeper, more authentic way. This book throws the doors wide open for any woman who's ever thought of herself as "just a mom." Say yes to God right where you are--and stand amazed at your your life will shine."
Do yourself a BIG favor and order Kristen's book HERE. You can find it on Amazon or any online bookseller.
In the 12 years since she wrote this incredible book, Kristen has founded and grown her nonprofit Mercy House Global, a nonprofit organization that rescues girls in Kenya and empowers them by supporting their fair trade businesses. Visit www.mercyhouseglobal.org to learn more. Its mission is stated on the site:
Mercy House exists to engage, empower and disciple women around the globe in Jesus’ name. We provide for the rescue of pregnant girls in Kenya and provide a home for them. We empower their families and many others with dignified work so we can redeem future generations. We do this by engaging those with resources to say yes to the plight of women in poverty by empowering women around the world through partnerships and sustainable fair trade product development.
