I wanted him to be the Lord of my whole entire life, not just pieces of my life, and I didn't

want him to be on a shelf anymore. I wanted him to be the person that I called out to and sought

and be in his presence and hear his discernment in my life. Welcome to the Storytellers Live

podcast, where everyday women share stories of hope found in Jesus.

I'm Robin, and I am here with Lindy and Katie, and we are your podcast host.

And this is our last week of our 20-something series.

And y'all, it's been so fun, and I've loved it.

I hope y'all have loved it, too.

And today we have Catherine Adkins from Oxford, Mississippi, who is also our team leader over there.

We love Catherine so much. And like you said, Robin, I have loved this series of listening to these young women.

They've increased my faith in so many different ways. And Catherine's story is no different.

This is a story that every person, not just every woman, but every person out there can relate to,

and that is letting go of a striving spirit, thinking, I need to work my way to happiness and

acceptance and work my way ultimately to God. So if you're struggling with surrendering to God

or learning how to say no to what the world is offering you, this story is for you.

And I'm excited for our Patreon insiders because they are going

to get to hear more from Catherine and her mom. Amy Grotie spent some time with them talking about

the seasons that Catherine shares in her story. And so if you are not a Patreon member,

please go to our website at storytellerslive.org or scroll down right here in our show notes and click the link.

And you can go and join for just $5 or $10 a month.

And it really supports our ministry and it gives you extra content.

Here's Catherine.
