Summary

Happy November friends! I'm super giddy today, not only because the leaves are exploding into all sorts of chestnut/cinnamon/auburn hues, but mostly because Divina Bruss is joining me for Episode #18 at The Messy Table and I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH.
Divina is a pastor's wife, former attorney turned homeschool mama of four, marathon runner, avid learner, and lover of God's Word. She's continuously teaching me, challenging me, and encouraging me to wrestle with the Truth.
"I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ's return." Philippians 1:9-10 NLT
If you’re needing a boost of faith, HERE’S YOUR SIGN. Divina's transformational story and contagious passion will inspire you to press in, persevere, and hold nothing back. So grab (or reheat) your coffee, pull up a chair, and join us!

0:00.0	Well, happy November. It's finally feeling like fall here in Oklahoma.
0:20.0	The trees are starting to turn.
0:21.7	And although my kids are still wearing shorts to school, highs in the 60s are better than the 90s, so we'll take what we can get.
0:28.7	Well, I just want to welcome you to the messy table, an imperfect space where life is not always perfect, but God is always at work.
0:35.6	I'm Jen, and I am passionate about gathering women together
0:38.8	and using our actual real lives to intentionally remember what really matters. You know,
0:43.9	life can be hard, and it's not always what we ordered. Yet we see these beautiful pictures of
0:48.5	beautiful people and beautiful lives on platforms like Instagram and Pinterest. But as you know,
0:53.7	life is more than a bunch of megapixels on a screen, and this is an
0:57.4	opportunity for us to dive a little deeper and get a peek behind the scenes.
1:01.3	My guest today for episode number 18 is Devina Bress, who I would describe as a wise and humble
1:06.8	firecracker who sold out for the things that matter most, God and people.
1:10.6	But it wasn't always
1:11.4	that way. And I can't wait for you to hear her transformational story. She and her husband Brian
1:17.1	lead the Life Church Norman location. She's a mama to four adorable little humans. She homeschools.
1:22.5	She runs marathon. She leads Bible studies. She seems to do it all. But personally, I appreciate the depth and conviction she brings to any conversation,
1:30.8	as well as just being an honest and trustworthy voice in my life.
1:34.3	So wherever you are right now, grab your coffee, pull up a chair, andVina.
1:51.9	Hey, Jen.
1:53.1	So glad you're here.
1:54.6	I've really been looking forward to this.
1:56.4	Well, thank you for having me.
