Well, hey guys, and welcome to the messy table, an ordinary space where we can gather together, yes, even when

we're spread apart, and just attempt to remember what matters most. So if you're listening to this

right as it aired, you know that we're right in the middle of summer, which for many of us

brings new rhythms, new schedules, possibly some extra chaos, but hopefully a much-needed dose of rest as well.

Or if you're listening to this weeks and months down the road, I know the God who created you

and loves you more than you can even fathom. I promise he can meet you right here, right where

you are. So if we haven't yet had the chance to meet,

my name is Jen Jewel, and I consider it such a joy to host this faith-fueled conversation-style

podcast, which unleashes a brand new episode into your speakers, your earbuds, every other Tuesday.

And with me today is my fabulous co-host, my good friend Cindy Beal.

And y'all, we love getting to partner with the women of our church, Life Church,

while also remaining super passionate about locking arms with Jesus-loving, courageous women from all over the world.

But I do need to let you know that today marks the last episode of this season.

We'll be taking a brief summer break before we fire back up with more life-given conversations mid-August.

And though it'll certainly be a little sad to not see the messy table pop up on my podcast app every other Tuesday,

it's actually the perfect time to catch up on some of those amazing episodes

you might have missed. Guys, we know it has been one heck of a year. And many days, on many hard

days, these stories of God's faithfulness have absolutely carried me through. So whether you're

hauling kids to the pool or working out in the yard or out on a run or out on vacation

or simply going through the motions of an ordinary day. You can truly always be certain that God

is at work in your mess. So I need you to go ahead and get ready because Cindy and I have a treat.

I'm talking a treat for you today during this very special episode.
