Welcome to Season 2 of ALTARed by Faith. We will kick things off with Special Guest Mallory Smyth. Mallory Smyth joined Walking with Purpose out of a deep desire to help women come to know Christ personally through the transforming power of His Word. Mallory experienced a powerful conversion of heart in college when she came to know God personally through Scripture. Having worked with college students as a FOCUS missionary and now in women's ministry, it is her dream to see Catholics fall deeply in love with God and grab hold of the joy offered in the Gospel. Mallory has spoken around the nation including conferences such as SEEK and FOCUS Greek conferences. She has been a guest on EWTN's "Life on the Rock," The Catholic Feminist, Ave Explores, and a number of other podcasts and radio shows. Her book Rekindled won second place in the faith category for the Catholic Media Association Book awards. Mallory's talks bring Scripture to life and help women to apply Scripture to what they are going through in the here and now. A lover of history, you will always learn something new that will awaken you to the wonder of serving such an incredible God.
