Welcome to this week's behind-the-scenes conversations about delighting in Jesus. I'm your host, Ashrita Choochoo, and this is my marvelous co-host, Hannah-it. Hello. Hi, we're here. I'm so excited. I know, me too. I can't believe we're doing it. Man, this is like five years in the making. Yeah, when you're a kid, five years sounds like so long. You know what I mean? Like, do you remember

being in like ninth grade and then you're going into college? That's five years. And you're like, man, that was a long time. When you're an adult, it goes by real fast because I feel like you and I were just talking about this. And actually, it was pre-pandemic. So I don't know about you, but I feel like all the years since 2020 have kind of collapsed on themselves.

And I'm like, how it's its own genre?

Yes. But I was, I remember sending

you like a video, a Marco Polo about like, Hannah, I just really want to do this podcast. And I

outlined it and just like sharing it with you got me excited about it. Do you remember?

Yeah, I do. But that's the thing. I feel like we just had that conversation. But yeah, and it's

kind of funny because then when you brought it back up recently, I felt like, yeah, I know. We're

already doing this. And you're like, oh, okay, well, that was a long time ago.

I talked about it.

Well, because in between that conversation five years ago and now, not only has there been a global pandemic and you've had babies.

I've had a lot of kids.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And my own little baby grew up and it's now going in kindergarten.

But I actually had launched another podcast. So

Prayers of Rest launched in 2020. And this, we are like right now releasing season 12,

prayers for joy. And it's actually the last one. Like we are wrapping up the prayers of

rest podcast. And I'm sure we'll talk more about that. But we're bridging

toward talking more about this original concept, which is delighting in Jesus. Like that,

that had been the first podcast that I shared with you. It's either going to be this podcast about

enjoying Jesus and creative Bible habits and, like, getting over boring quiet time formulas and ideas and really rediscovering this joy and vitality in our time with the Lord.
