Hey guys, welcome to the Encounter Now podcast. I'm Chelsea and I'm here with my husband, Nick.

We're going to be talking a little bit about your stories today. We're super excited to dive into

how this podcast has impacted your lives and we wanted to do a special podcast specifically about

you guys because we're just so thankful for all the ways that you guys have encouraged us and really

we're just we're grateful so we hope you enjoy go through and things to share about all the people who listen to our podcast. But first, we wanted to just say thank you to all of you guys who were brave enough to share

a little bit about your lives.

And hopefully we can shed a little bit of light into maybe some questions you guys are asking

us or really just encourage you guys because we just wanted to take a step and pause and

thank you guys for being the people that you are.

And would you like to start, Nick?

Yeah, I actually would.

And I would like to just tell our listeners who don't know about this where it's coming from.

It's coming from our Instagram page for our podcast.

And it's Encounter Now podcast on Instagram.

And this is something that we posted and we

were just trying to gather collective thoughts from our listeners as to what the podcast has

meant to them and what kind of their story has been up to this point.

So this is what the caption says just so you have a little bit of context as to why we're

talking about this and where we're talking about it from. It says as our community continues to grow, which we're thankful for,

we are encouraged by the stories you've shared with us. The messages, reviews in any way that

you've used a platform to share your story with us. We're inspired by you and we love to share

bits and parts of your stories in an upcoming podcast, which is this one.
