Religious Addiction is there such a thing?

Can one be Addicted to Religion? Can one hide behind the walls of Church and scripture? Can one use God and their Church experience to cover up their hurts, pains, and insecurities in their life? We will be tackling this issue on our next show with Our Special Guest: Pastor Natalie Francisco who serves as Co-Pastor along with her husband, Bishop L.W. Francisco III, as well as the Minister of Music at Calvary Community Church in Hampton, VA. Although ordained in February of 1999, she has served extensively in full-time ministry for over 25 years in areas of leadership in both the Music and Arts and Christian Education departments of her local church. Pastor Natalie received a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in Christian Education from International Bible College and Seminary in Independence, Missouri and a Doctorate in Christian Education from Carolina University of Theology. As founder of the Women of Worth Conference in 2002 and the Women of Worth and Worship Institute (WOWWI) in 2007, Pastor Natalie seeks to provide godly and practical instruction to women of all ages and stages of life who desire to learn and implement biblical truths and principles from her life’s lessons. As the personal mentor of countless women, she strives to equip them with knowledge and wisdom so that they can possess their inheritance as women of value, virtue and victory who will expand the kingdom of God. This is accomplished through annual conferences, retreats and several eight-week sessions that are held throughout the year at her local church and on-line for registered participants. Pastor Natalie and Bishop L.W. Francisco III are the grateful parents of three beautiful daughters: Nicole, Lesley and Lauren. Find out more about Natalie Francisco at www.nataliefrancisco.com
