MARKED | Christine Hoover Apr 05, 2021

Show notes

What is the Kingdom story? On today's podcast, Kelly and Elizabeth talk with Christine Hoover about her new Bible study, Seek First the Kingdom. Hear how God used a personal experience and the book of Matthew to do a significant work in her. "Look beyond what we can see in this life and what we can see through eyes of faith what He is building in the hearts of those who are submitting to Him." How does God challenge us to think about who is truly blessed what it means to be truly blessed? Join us to find out! Christine Hoover is married to Kyle, who is the pastor of a church they planted in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2008. Together they have three boys. When she's not corralling kids or serving alongside her husband in ministry, she's writing and speaking. The grace of Christ upended her legalistic life over a decade ago, and ever since then, I've been passionate about exploring and sharing about how that grace impacts every inch of life.

As Lifeway Women, we feel the immense privilege of being at the table. We get to be behind the scenes of the frontlines of ministry—both public ministry and private ministry. At Lifeway Women, we work with authors and speakers, helping to craft their messages and chatting in green rooms and conference rooms. We provide encouragement to them, challenge them, and work to bring their callings to fruition. We also work with everyday disciple makers. We work with the moms who are exhausted, the single women who are just trying to figure out what God wants them to do, and the ministry leaders who are frustrated with limitations. We hope MARKED serves as an invitation to all those women to take a seat at that table. We want you to see behind the scenes of a conference, a writer's life, and everyday ministry that may never be published or heard anywhere else.
