Highly Favored
The concept of being #blessed in modern society has little to do with the realities of our everyday. Those who were “highly favored” in the Bible were chosen to live a testimony that would bring people closer to God. This idea of being chosen often led to intense trials and tribulations all for the privilege and honor of leading people in the Faith.
The Highly Favored podcast highlights gritty individuals who are not afraid to be in the arena of life with blood, sweat, and tears. These are the people that you want fighting, literally and figuratively, alongside you. Season 1 is “Pray not Prey” as the podcast host, Kim Chatto, and guests share stories of resiliency, tenacity, and sometimes straight stubbornness in the most relatable conversations. Whether you’re a believer, have a faith journey, or not - these stories will resonate with you. After all, we’re all just trying to walk each other home.
Kim Chatto is a veteran and single mother in Utah who also is Miss Willard Bay, competing in the 2025 Miss Utah for America Strong pageant. She hopes these stories inspire you and help build community both locally for you and globally through Highly Favored.
