Hey there, I'm Christine, and I'm so excited to welcome you to the Equip and Empower podcast.

Now, my prayer is that our time together each week encourages you,

awakens you to the purposes of God in your life,

and activates you to follow Jesus wholeheartedly as you live on mission for him.

Hey everyone, I am so glad that you have joined us today. I truly believe that God has a word for you.

You have not tuned in by accident. I believe you've tuned in the divine timing, the divine plan, and the divine purpose of God.

You know, over the past few years, I've taken up hiking.

And I have to say that I've even done some epic hikes.

I mean, just here recently, I did the Grand Canyon, rim to river to rim.

Now, you have to understand, that's like you lose 5,000 feet of elevation going down and climb up over another 5,000

feet of elevation. That took me maybe 10 hours. I did it with Nick and was feeling pretty good

that at 55, I could actually do the Grand Canyon rim to River to Rim. I've also done the narrows at

Mount Zion. I don't know if you've ever seen any more beautiful creation than going through

that canyon right there in Mount Zion in Utah, absolutely beautiful. You know, near Southern

California, I've been up climbing Mount San Jacinto Mountain and

Mount Baldi and gone out to the bridge to nowhere and Coquamunga Peak and Camelback Mountain

in Phoenix, Arizona and bishops pass up there near the Sierra's. And let me tell you, I mentioned

all of those hikes and I've done a heap more because here is the one thing that all of them have in common.

I mean, lots of summer canyons, summer mountains, some are just beautiful trails.

But the one thing that they all involve is a lot of walking.

And I'm telling you, these feet of mine have done a lot of walking over these years.
