Hey, guys, and welcome to the messy table, an ordinary space for real women,

imperfect stories,

and the God who's constantly at work in my mess and your mess and all of the collective messes

going on throughout the whole world. It's actually true. God has not forgotten you. He hasn't

looked the other way or pretended not to notice the trenches you've found yourself in. But he's

with you and working things out even today, even as you

near a deadline for that work project, or spoon feed your baby, or run a million errands,

and chauffeur a million kids. Even when we don't necessarily recognize his movement or his grace

or his provision, he's still there. So if you don't already know, this podcast releases a brand new episode every other Tuesday,

you can mark your calendar or you can choose to be awesome and subscribe for free in iTunes,

Google Player, Stitcher, and then you get a fun little present magically delivered to your phone

every two weeks. It makes me feel kind of special, even though I was there during the recording.

And I am your host, Jen Jewel, and The Messy Table is also partnered with my church,

Life Church, and our sister's ministry.

And we just love, love, love the capital C church, the global church.

And it's so fun getting to chat with other imperfect yet redeemed believers in their own spaces,

whether that's right here in local circles or in various parts of the world.

And in today's episode, I'm gleaning all the wisdom and advice I can squeeze out of one of

the very best.
