Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast where everyday women are sharing stories of hope found in Jesus. I'm Katie Dunn. I'm Robin Cowan. And I'm Lindy Walker. And we are your podcast host,

as well as part of the Storytellers Live ministry where simple life stories

are helping women all over the country not only increase their faith in Christ, find freedom

in Christ, but also build community among women. And we do that through live gatherings that we

have across the country that meet in homes. You do just want to invite you to celebrate with us because today

is our annual fundraising luncheon, the Stories of Hope Luncheon here in Birmingham, Alabama. So if you're

listening to this episode, we are celebrating here in Birmingham so that more women can hear

community among women can be found and most importantly freedom in Jesus Christ can be experienced.

So won't you join us? There's a link down in our show notes. Scroll down there right now and

support the ministry. Thanks so much. Robin, tell us about today's storyteller.
