| 0:00.0 | Well, hello, hello everybody, and welcome to the messy table, an ordinary space for real women |
| 0:21.3 | imperfect stories and the God who's always at work in our mess. |
| 0:24.8 | Because you know what? |
| 0:25.8 | We all have messes, both big and small. |
| 0:28.1 | We know life can be amazing at times, but it can also be hard and complicated and painful |
| 0:33.1 | and overwhelming. |
| 0:34.4 | So the goal here at this table is to glorify God as we wade through our own |

| 1:16.9 | body of Christ, and it's such a fun thing to have women joining us from literally all over the |
| 1:21.4 | world. So, in the Bible, the book of Luke chapter 15 to be exact. Jesus tells three specific stories about things that are |
| 1:29.2 | lost. One is about a lost sheep, one is about a lost coin, and one is about a lost son. In each of these |
| 1:36.6 | stories, the man or woman pursues what's lost. He leaves the 99 other sheep to go after the one. |
| 1:43.3 | She turns her house upside down until she finds her valuable coin. |
