Hi friends welcome to the Fun and Weekdays Podcast I'm your host Jenna Palek

every time I say my full name I'm like that sounds very formal but I am going to introduce myself because I imagine there may be maybe some new listeners today I'm talking about something I have never talked about in my life.

It's not a topic I ever thought that I would talk about but here we are today. I am talking about my

Journey if you want to call it that, of discovering and being

interested in my faith for the very first time in my life and it's such a weird feeling,

it's very overwhelming. I haven't shared that much about it online just because it is like very personal and I'm still just trying to navigate it myself and try to understand like what I want to do with my emotions

But I figured maybe this will help someone or maybe you guys listening can also help me and so yeah let's just get into it I want to talk

about my faith and my background and how in the past couple of months maybe eight

months or so I've had these like really really insane encounters with

what I believe to be God a question mark or

I don't really know it's like these really indescribable

experiences and coincidences if you want to call it that that have happened where

I've been like wait this, this is insane. There has to be a bigger meaning for this. It cannot just be coincidence or luck at this point. It can't just be manifestation. So a little bit of background growing up.

I was not from a very religious family.

Like my parents, we went to church every once in a while.

I don't really remember when I was like younger,

younger, but for a majority of my

childhood I do remember going to church on Easter and Christmas and we would

alternate going between my mom's parents and with my dad's parents. My dad's mom taught at a church.

She taught Sunday school and they lived at this in the summer.

They lived on Geneva on the Lake

and they lived in this little mobile trailer park place and they had a really cute church there and anytime
