Thanks for joining us for the Passion City Church DC podcast.

This week, as we prepare our hearts for above and beyond Sunday, we wanted to bring you

some of our favorite Jesus stories from this past year.

These are stories of how God has used the generosity of our house to impact people's lives and

the opportunities for the sake of the kingdom all over the world.

This is Catherine's story.

I grew up going to church from a young age, but in kind of the shuffle of life, it got

lost over the years.

In my childhood, I experienced a lot of change, a lot of moving,

communities changing a lot, and so I never experienced what it felt like to have that

firm foundation of faith.

And so without that and without it being a personal relationship, it just didn't exist

in my life, and there's a lot of space for me to figure it out myself.

I remember sitting in church and thinking, like, do I belong here?

Is God really no me personally?

And I think at that point, I was presented to faith that was fairly academic, and it wasn't

as much about an intimate relationship.

And so it was easy for it just to get lost in the shuffle.

It took a lot of years until I really explored my faith and earnest for myself, and that

wasn't until I went to University of Georgia.

And I decided like the first thing I was going to do was rush and join a sorority.
