Well, look what we have here folks, it's episode one of the messy masterpiece podcast with Chad and Tori. Whoa this is so exciting whereas January 1st we hope so

wherever it is you are it It's January 1st wherever we are right now.

We're so excited to start this podcast. It's going to be a daily devotional podcast that's

dedicated to devoting ourselves to Christ daily. Love that, babe.

What a good intro.

Y'all, we're so excited to be here.

And before we get started, I just wanted to give a little clarity

to the name, the messy masterpiece. I was actually on a road trip just thinking about. the

name messy masterpiece. I was actually on a road trip just thinking about the title of this podcast when Chad and I first started dreaming it up

and I was thinking back to the time where I'd look in the mirror and all I would see was all my brokenness. I'd look in the mirror and all I would see was all my

brokenness. I'd see my anxiety, I would see my shame, I would see all the things I've

done wrong, all my

brokenness and all of my messy pieces that I was still his masterpiece and that that was it

was like okay okay, the messy masterpiece because all of us, we bring our messiness to the table and God does what only he can do and he makes a masterpiece out of that.

Yeah I love that baby and I think we know that with how hard

2020 was on all of us I can't think of a better way to make sure that we're all

equipped for 2021 that to starting our day

right with our first fruits or first parts of the day to just dedicate ourselves

to getting right because I know that whenever I spend quiet time in the mornings I'm not

a walking time bomb I feel like I'm actually ready for the day. I'm ready to enjoy it. I'm ready to be patient and be kind and be loving to my neighbor.

Yes, so good. I'm normally a basket case if I don't spend the first moments of my day with Jesus.

So let's do just that. So today we're going to be reading out of the Thrive Bible.
