52. Growing Up Saved, Neurodivergence in Church, and Making Launch Campaigns Fun - A Dialogue with Kristen LaValley

Kicking off the first Dialogue Session, I'm joined by author Kristen LaValley. We talk about lip color, what she'd add to her squirrel bowl, neurodivergence in the Church, Company Retreat, and all about her new book, Growing Up Saved. We keep it light-hearted, we laugh a lot, and still make space for the deep stuff. Because it ALL has a place here. I hope you enjoy!ALL THE LINKS:Pre-order Growing Up SavedKristen's website | Kristen on SubstackCOMPANY RETREAT: A deep work + deep rest sojourn for the Christian author, business owner, and leaderDusty's WebsiteFeeling overwhelmed?
