“Her life’s work is making the church more welcoming and inclusive for women. When she began her research on single women in the church, she admittedly went in with an ax to grind, however her research began to uncover that many women find tremendous healing, freedom and community in the church. The church is messy and can be a place of hurt, but it’s also a place of freedom and beauty in community. If you are struggling with unmet longings or feeling isolated, you are not alone. Over and over Katie found the same themes in her research that many women are walking through the same struggles.”
