Our Story In (and Out) of the Spotlight
Welcome to our summer season kick-off! As we get ready for Kelly's new book launch, we wanted to share some of our story: Getting married at 20, signing a record deal, touring the world, writing books. On the surface it's looked pretty sparkly. But that's far from the truth. We wanted to take you behind the scenes to show you what God has been up to, and what it has to do with finding your purpose in life. ----Check out Kelly's new book, Purposefooled, at purposefooled.com, Out August 1st!

Today on Clearly.----Support Jimmy & Kelly's mission of equipping Christians to be competent and winsome in a hostile world. patreon.com/jimmykellyneedham
