MARKED | Preparing for Fall (featuring Kelly King)

The fall season and start of school is right upon us. We picked Kelly King's brain on today's episode as about what it looks like to get back in gear for things like sending kids to school or college, moving Bible study routines, and in church life. It can be hard to settle into a new routine, but we all talk about how fall feels like a New Year 2.0 and how it impacts our lives. {MARKED} is a podcast for women who are marked by a hunger for God’s Word, a longing to impact culture, and a desire to discover and live out God’s calling in their lives. Each episode Mary Margaret West and Elizabeth Hyndman will talk about what God is doing—how He has and is marking each of us. About Kelly:Kelly King is the Women’s Ministry Specialist for Lifeway Christian Resources where she coordinates training and equipping events for women in leadership.
