Well, hey, friend, happy May, happy Mother's Day week, which I know can bring all the feelings.

But before we get after it today, first, I just want to welcome you to the messy table, an ordinary space for real women, imperfect stories, and the God who's at work in our mess.

So if we haven't yet had the chance to meet, my name is Jen Jule, and I have the honor of hosting

this faith-fueled conversation-style podcast, where we are also big-time fans of the U-Version

Bible app, as well as the U-Version Bible app for kids.

And if you don't already know about these incredible free resources, we will have them all

linked up.

But regardless where you're coming from or what you are facing at this very moment, we will have them all linked up. But regardless where you're coming from or what

you are facing at this very moment, we are genuinely glad you're here. And we don't want to waste

any more time getting to our conversation today because our guest knows all about the tension

that Mother's Day can bring. And yet she's still proclaiming God's goodness on the other side.

Lindsay Johnson is a wife and mom and pharmaceutical rep and the founder of a nonprofit called Aspen Arrows. And more on that coming up.

But speaking of tension, Lindsay has been there. She's had some wild years and she knows the peace

that comes with following Jesus. She battled for four years to get

pregnant, and she's experienced a surprise pregnancy. She's known the joy of having and raising

kids, and she's known the heartache of losing her precious baby. She's felt the unconditional

love of an amazing mother, and she's had to,

she gets to, carry on the legacy of her mama's relentless strength. So from one gal to the next,

just a heads up. You should probably grab a Kleenex as you pour your coffee, pull up a chair,

and join me for a chat with Lindsay.

Well, I am super excited to have an amazing guest here today. So Lindsay, welcome to the

messy table. Thank you. I'm so excited to be here, Jen. I was laughing. I am such a fan girl
