Well, hey, friend, and welcome to the messy table, an ordinary space for real women,

imperfect stories, and the God who's at work in our mess.

And I'm so thankful that he never stops working, that he actually has an unlimited capacity

for all of us, for all of our complexities and sins and doubts and questions and fears.

And he meets us right where we are,

but he refuses to leave us there. Stuck in our pain and selfishness, hopelessness.

It's why he initiated the greatest rescue mission of all time because he really, really loves us.

And he really loves you. And so we are so grateful that you're here. And if we haven't yet had the chance to meet, my name is Jen Jewel. And I have the honor of hosting this

faith-fueled conversation-style podcast. And today, I have an amazing co-host back with me, my good

friend, Cindy Beal. And y'all, we are partnered with the women of our church, Life Church,

where we are also

huge fans of the U-Version Bible app.

And you know, when you think about it, for a good portion of human history, people didn't

have personal copies of scripture.

They either just didn't have it, or they had to have a special person read it to them,

or they had to go to the temple to hear it.

But we have God's word, literally in our back pockets, for free, translated into our very own language. And so be sure,

if you haven't already, and download that right now. And guys, our favorite part of this podcast

is just locking arms with some incredible women from all over who have been found and changed

by Jesus. And today's guest certainly knows all about it. Jana Finley is a mom and friend, an

overcomer, a follower of Jesus, who is passionate about leading others, especially others from

unlikely places to have a relationship with Christ.
