My Soul Knows It Very Well: An Interview with Dr. Kathy Koch

Dr. Kathy Koch is a beloved international speaker, the founder of CelebrateKids and the author of five books. As a 6’1 woman with a deep voice, Kathy struggled to fit into the “box” that the culture wanted to put her into. Today, and for the next several days, Kathy and Heidi St. John take a deep dive into the devastating way we have re-framed gender and sex. We’ll walk with Kathy through her journey to discovering her unique calling and the role her parents played in encouraging her to embrace the beautiful calling He has on her life. The God of the Bible created us in His image—and when we know down deep in our soul that His design and purpose is good, it changes everything. Don’t miss this week’s guest series—it’s a timely conversation that will challenge, encourage and convict you.
