Summary

Today marks the TENTH episode at The Messy Table! And though it might not sound like much to you, this small milestone means I haven't quit yet and that ten beautifully messy conversations have taken place—which I pray have encouraged you, reminded you what really matters, and pointed you back to God.
To celebrate, we're taking it up a notch. I've asked four of my people—Jessica Geras, Kat Robinson, Rachel Ricker, and LaTonya Pratt—to join me for a little Q&A. More affectionately known as The Panel (and you'll hear why), these sweet and sassy mamas divulge all kinds of secrets on marriage, motherhood, and ministry, as well as some mistakes and messes made along the way.
You might feel like you're sitting at a messy table with friends, because that's exactly what we're doing. So whether you're driving to an appointment, folding laundry, taking your lunch break, meandering through the grocery store, working out, or hiding in the bathroom from your children, we invite you to grab (or reheat) your coffee, pop in those earbuds, and join us at The Messy Table.

0:00.0	Hey guys and welcome to the messy table where life isn't always perfect but God is doing important work. I'm Jen and I just want to say welcome from the messy table, where life isn't always perfect, but God is doing important work.
0:21.6	I'm Jen, and I just want to say welcome from my messy table to yours.
0:26.2	So, okay, this might be a small milestone to you, but I'm going to get excited anyway.
0:31.3	You are listening to episode number 10, whoo, which means I haven't quit yet.
0:36.1	We've made it from zero when there was nothing to 10 messy yet beautiful conversations
0:41.2	where some amazing women have opened up their hearts to share the good, hard, and ugly
0:46.0	stuff in their lives so that God would be glorified.
0:50.0	My goal is always, always for us to bring some real life to the table, remember what really
0:55.5	matters, point ourselves back to God and encourage each other along the way.
0:59.4	So to help me celebrate today, we're doing something a little different.
1:03.0	I've got four friends joining me, Rachel Ricker, Latanya Pratt, Jessica Garris, and Kat
1:08.2	Robinson, more affectionately known as The Panel. These are gorgeous,
1:13.1	down-to-earth, solid, trustworthy, and passionate women, all wives and mamas. Some work full-time,
1:19.2	some are stay-at-home moms. One works from home. We all have different backgrounds, but the thing
1:23.9	that truly unites us is the common mission and adventure of following Jesus.
1:29.1	Let me tell you, one-on-one friendships are great, but there's something powerful about a village,
1:34.6	a tribe, a group of people united around one pulse. I have several of these communities in my life,
1:40.7	my family, my church family, six couples from college, my life group, the panel who you get
1:46.4	to hear from today, and I simply would not be the same person without them. Life is better together,
1:52.0	but that doesn't mean we have it all together at all. The village makes me better because I'm
1:57.0	supported. I'm challenged and I'm encouraged even through my own imperfections and sin.
2:02.8	And believe me, there's plenty of that. By myself, I'm incredibly limited and selfish and just
