Emily Bell Freeman is a well-known author, teacher, and now YouTuber and podcaster, whose YouTube

channel don't miss this with Dave Butler has exploded over the past two years. But one of her

greatest passions in life is working with and building communities of Christian women of different

denominations who can learn from each other's differing perspectives and grow in their faith in

Christ. Today, Emily shares with me how her love for creating these Bible study groups began

what her tips are for women who want to study with other women of differing Christian faiths

and why it matters so much that we build on common ground.

So today I have a guest who I feel like I know like a good friend,

and I've never met her in person, but it is warming my heart to hear her voice.

And her name is Emily Bell Freeman.

Say hi, Emily.

Hi, everyone.

And Emily, tell us who you are and what you're all about, because you have many things that are going on in your life and that people know you for. That is so true.

Okay, first and foremost, I am a wife and a mother and a grandmother. So that is where my heart is

always. A grandmother? I didn't know that.

I know. Is that crazy and fun? You look like you graduated like three years before I did or something.

I know. That is so true. Whenever I tell people that, they're like, how old are you? I actually just

turned 50 this year. So that was exciting. Congratulations. Yep, so fun. And I always

wanted to be 50 because I don't know if you've ever read about the Red Hat Club and the ladies

who wear purple, but I've always wanted to be one and you have to be 50 before you can. So,

oh, I didn't know that. That was the highlight of this year. That's awesome.

I am married to Greg.
