Serving locally, nationally, and internationally with the US Navigators, through her speaking, writing and mentoring, Connally brings the warm, strong, and revelatory light of Jesus Christ -- often through the confusing questions surrounding singleness, sexuality, gender, loss and race -- to the hearts and minds of women and men.
