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

imperfect stories,

and the God who's faithful to continuously show up and do work in our mess.

I'm your host, Jen Jewel, aiming to partner with some incredible women as we launch a new

episode every other Tuesday. And our goal is simply to use real life and honest conversation

to glorify God, encourage each other, and remind ourselves

of the truth. We're also partnered with the women of My Church, Life Church. But here's the deal.

More than anything, we're passionate about the name of Jesus and the capital C church, the local and global

body of Christ. As women who believe this Bible to be true, even as we stumble and fall and lean on God's grace,

we know without a doubt that we can do infinitely more together than apart.

We're on the same team, sharing this gospel message however we can in all kinds of diverse ways.

It's a big world out there and we absolutely need each other.

So wherever you are, whatever church you happen to be a part of,

whether you're at home changing diapers or out shaking up the corporate world, we are truly

honored you took the time to dive in with us. And guys, I'm giddy to be rolling out a brand

new episode today. We took a small hiatus for us all to catch up on past episodes and wrap up

summer, but now we're back. Kids are heading off to school.

New projects and routines are ramping up. And whether you're at home or in the workplace,

the shifting of seasons is here. And we're kicking off a fresh semester at the messy table as well.

So I can hardly stand it. Our fall lineup is explosive. We have some incredible down-to-earth

Jesus-loving women who are simply allowing

God to invade their ordinary spaces and use them right where they are in their circles,
