Episode Details

Today on the podcast, I'm talking with my friend and teaching pastor at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Alli Patterson, about her new book, How to Stay Standing. 

In this powerful and practical episode, Alli shares her own story of hitting rock bottom when the scaffolding of her life collapsed, and how she rebuilt the foundation from the ground up. We discuss the following:

1. How tiny decisions can lead us toward devastating realities

2. What kept Alli from making eye contact for over 6 months

3. How shame sneaks in, even when you know you’ve been forgiven by God

4. The power of telling your story in safe places

5. 3 practical ways to build a strong foundation

6. How to take risks on God
