Hi, friends. This is Eve Steipps, co-host of the Grace Lice podcast. We have a really special episode for you today, one that honestly marks the end of an era. In case you missed it, we announced an exciting new pivot for the podcast coming in January. Ruth is launching the Ruth Joe

Simon's podcast. She'll still have vocational guests like her family, even me, friends, but the new

format will allow her to be a little more vulnerable, share from her heart in real time, and prayerfully

serve you even more authentically. Beginning mid-January, you'll see new art

and a new name for the podcast on all the platforms you listen on. If you're already subscribed to

the podcast, you won't even need to resubscribe. All of the changes will happen on the back end.

And never fear. All of the previous episodes will also still be available in the same feed as well

origin story and how Eve and I met and began working together, here's how we described the

heart behind the podcast. Let's talk about what we're trying

to accomplish here at the Graceley's podcast. Yeah, we really want to kind of work out what the

gospel means to everyday life together. So like she said, we have these conversations pretty

consistently. There's lots of times

when I'll send her a text message that says, like, hey, can you please pray? Like, I'm having a tough

conversation with this person in my life or that person in my life. And Ruth says, yeah, like, I'll pray

for you. And she'll do the same back with me. And so we're constantly asking,
