Welcome to Daily Grace. We believe the Bible is true, trustworthy, and timeless. And we want to help women like you, know and love God's Word.

The Bible shows us who God is and who He is, changes everything. My name is Shelby and I'm Crystal. And we want to invite you to come join us as we chat about the truth of God's Word in our everyday lives.

Hey everybody and welcome back to the Daily Grace Podcast. This is Crystal and I'm joined by my lovely co-host Shelby. Hey Shelby.

Hi everyone. We are so excited to be with you today. Why are we so excited to be with you today?

There's a lot of reasons but the main reason is that we are together in person.

In person. I mean first time ever. First time ever. I don't think a lot of people realize that that we record this in different locations. And so we're at TGC Women that's the gospel coalition women's conference.

And we had four of our team members here that we got to meet for the first time. And so now we decided, hey why not record a podcast? All we're together. So we lugged our equipment to Indianapolis.

And we are in our hotel room and we are recording this episode. And so we are just thrilled to do this. It is going to be so much fun. So much fun.

So the Daily Grace Co has a fantastic study that came out just yesterday that Shelby got to write and it is all about how to cultivate a life of prayer.

So we're going to talk just a little bit more about that study. But first, Shelby, what is your favorite thing from this week?

Okay. Well, I've had one of the best weeks I've had in a long time. So I really had to sort through because being at the gospel coalition women's conference, we're in a lot of amazing sessions with amazing speakers.

We met so many wonderful people doing the work of God all over the country in the world. And so I could have said a lot of things.

But truly my favorite, well, I have two favorites, but you are still the other one. So my favorite has been meeting my co-workers in person. And just to be quite honest, I told my husband, I was like, I hope it's not awkward.

Like we have a lot of Zoom meetings. We're super comfortable with each other. We have a lot of fun. But I didn't know what it would be like in person. And after the first day we were together, he asked me, he's like, so is it awkward? And I was like, no, there hasn't even been one awkward moment.

We all get along so perfectly. I was like, I'm literally having the time of my life. So it's been really, really fun to be hang out in person with my co-workers.

That's so fun. Crystal, you've also been here this week experiencing this. So what's your favorite thing?

It is hard not to just say everything because everything has been so great. I would say my favorite thing has been getting to meet customers of the Daily Grace Co and podcast listeners.

So we had a booth where we were selling some products and just getting to meet people. And it's just been so fun to put names to faces, even people have been commenting on our posts to be able to talk with them in person.

And just to hear how certain episodes have impacted people, how certain studies have really challenged them and their growth in the Lord.

So it's just been really sweet because when we work remotely, we don't always see what the Lord is doing. So it's just been really, really neat to get to see that.

Yeah, I would totally agree with that too. We really didn't know what to expect. We were super excited to meet our customers, but it was phenomenal because we got to have even more than just like, hey, I love this study or this really helps me.

So people literally saying, can I share a part of my life with you? And that has been really, really special. So yeah.
