Ellie Cunningham of CalvaryPHX: The Highs and Lows of Growing Up in the Church

The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua!To say that Ellie Cunningham "grew up in the church" is neither an exaggeration or a figure of speech.  Quite literally,  under the constant gaze--and, sometimes, scrutiny--of parishioners within one of the largest churches in the city, she experienced life in a fishbowl:  her high's and low's were visible to all.But, even when the limelight shone on some of the hardest, most painful moments in her young life, the Holy Spirit was ceaselessly navigating  her towards a very surprising destination:  a career in vocational ministry.  Where hardship might have pulled many away from a full-time commitment to life in the church, this was not the case with Ellie.  The hardships and struggles only served to heighten her sense of care and compassion for others just like her.How does that happen?  In today's Kingdom Culture Conversation, you will learn how the Lord sometimes allows difficult circumstances into the lives of His children to position them to be real difference-makers with others.To learn more about CalvaryPHX, the church where Ellie Cunningham serves as the Women's Ministry Director, please click here.To get involved in the dynamic CalvaryPHX Women's Ministry, follow this link."Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created through Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative of Northwest Christian School.For more information on Frameworks, please visit:  https://frameworks.ncsaz.org/For more information on Northwest Christian School, visit:  https://www.ncsaz.org/To reach out to Geoff Brown, please email [email protected] or you can reach him by cell phone:  (623)225-5573.
