Hello everybody and welcome to the latest edition of Mormon Stories Podcast Book Club.

I'm Heather Olson-Beele on the podcast host, start to say hostess.

That sounds like a hostess cupcake, host.

And I'm very excited and nervous today to be here with Rachel Held Evans,

who is the author of a year of biblical womanhood.

And Rachel is not a Mormon, so she's kind of coming in from the outside,

but there's lots of really cool things in her book that crossover I think into topics

and issues that I think Mormon Stories listeners will resonate with.

And I'm here also with Stephanie Lawrenceson and Aaron Hill.

So let's just do a quick introduction of the three of us,

and then we can let Rachel do a little bit more.

So Aaron, you want to give us a little quick intro?

Sounds good.

I'm Aaron Hill.

I'm in Brian, Texas, an English teacher, and enjoyed the book very much.

Excited to hear Rachel talk about it.

Cool.
