| 0:00.0 | Hey, guys, welcome back to the messy table, an ordinary space for real women, imperfect stories, |
| 0:22.1 | and the God who's constantly at work in both the big and small messes of our lives. |
| 0:26.6 | I'm Jen Jewel, the host of this conversation-style podcast, which airs a brand new episode |
