Hey y'all, welcome back to the Confessions of a Crappy Christian Podcast.

A place where you and all of your crap are not just welcome, you're wanted.

I'm your host Blake G. Shay, and every week I'm showing up with a new friend to talk about

the things we're really great at, the ways Christ fills in the gaps on the things that

we're not, and how he has been faithful to make his power perfect in our weaknesses.

My hope is that you walk away feeling empowered and not alone in your struggles, and that

people sharing their stories pushes you to share yours.

Alright, let's do this.

So you may be asking yourself, does Blake be all of her guests on Instagram?

And the answer is mostly, yeah, but it served us well so far, hasn't it?

Today's guest is no different.

Caroline Saunders is a mother, a writer, an advocate of uncoolness and wife to Luke.

She loves serving women through writing and discipleship and believes in taking Jesus

seriously, but not much else.

In today's episode, she unpacked some serious wisdom about discipleship, the role it should

be playing in our lives, as well as really incredibly tangible steps to pursue it.

It is such a good life-giving conversation and I cannot wait for y'all to listen to it.

Caroline, hey, thank you so much for coming on the show today.

Hey, Blake, thanks for having me.

Yes, I'm so pumped.

So we met on Instagram, which there's a possibility I open every interview that way with

we met on Instagram.
