Episode 42 - Broken, Redeemed and Loved Unconditionally with Katie Kough (Part 1)

Welcome to Episode 42 of The Knock Podcast. Today, Bobby and Gerrad are joined by a very special guest—Gerrad's wife, Katie Kough. In Part 1 of this incredibly raw and vulnerable testimony, Katie pulls back the curtain on her journey from a tradition-heavy, works-based upbringing to a true, grace-based relationship with Jesus. She dives into the "drift" of her high school and college years, the reality of hiding a physically abusive marriage behind the "optics" of a good Christian life, and the pivotal night she finally found the courage to escape. If you've ever felt like your faith was just a checklist of religious duties, or if you find yourself trapped in a season where you don't know how to ask for help, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to walk through the fire alone. Featured Resource: To help teach your little ones how to anchor their identity in Christ early on, check out Katie Kough's newly released children's book, Loved Unconditionally. It's a beautifully illustrated tool that teaches children that no matter the circumstances, their true identity is safely rooted in Christ.
