Summary
When there is so much to be done, how do you show hospitality to those around you? Molly Geiger, a program coordinator with Summit Ministries, shares about the many “hats” she wears hosting students through Summit’s summer conferences, bringing foster babies into her home, working with the fire department, and arranging flowers. Molly exemplifies creating space for people to be seen, cared for, and loved.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Strong Women podcast, where we explore a deeper understanding of the humanity, value, intellect, and creativity of women. |
| 0:11.5 | I'm your host Sarah Stone Street. |
| 0:14.0 | And I'm your co-host, Erin Kunkel. |
| 0:16.0 | Our guest today on the Strong Women podcast is Molly Geiger. |
| 0:27.2 | And I first met Molly at Summit Ministries many years ago and have had interactions with her |
| 0:33.9 | throughout that. |
| 0:34.7 | But it's been so fun to watch God lead Molly in her life and the way |
| 0:41.4 | he's placed her in really unique situations. And so I'm not going to give away all the hats |
| 0:47.3 | that she wears because that's what we're going to talk about today on the interview. |
| 0:51.8 | And just a side note, we have zoomed Aaron in because she is in California, |
| 0:57.0 | which is sad for us on two levels because one, she said it's 70 degrees there, but more |
| 1:03.1 | importantly, because she's not with us. That's the saddest part. But we're thankful for Zoom |
| 1:07.5 | and that we can zoom her in. But anyway, so we want to get started telling |

| 1:24.5 | Like, tell us what you do for Summit and that kind of thing. Yeah. So I live in Manitue Springs, Colorado, which is just down the road from here. And I've worked with Summit full time since 2016. And I work as an event coordinator for them. So I specifically work on our student conferences during the summertime. You've probably heard people talk about her two-week conferences before. Megan's one of our speakers, also one of my neighbors, so lots of fun and interconnected things |
| 1:48.0 | here. |
| 1:49.0 | And I'm very busy with that, and then I spend a lot of time volunteering in some local aspects |
| 1:54.0 | of our community. |
| 1:55.0 | Love to be outside. |
| 1:56.0 | Love to listen to great podcasts and read good books. |
| 1:59.0 | So yeah, it's fun to be here. Nice. |
