Hey, guys, and welcome to the messy table, an ordinary space for us to pause and remember that God really

is at work in our mess. Yes, this is a place where we can come as we are, kick off our shoes,

and take a deep breath of truth and encouragement. Well, I'm Jen Jewel, the host of this

faith-fueled Conversation Style podcast, which airs a brand new episode every other Tuesday.

And with me today

is my good friend and co-host, the lovely Amy Groschelle. Listen, a passion of ours is locking

arms with people throughout the Capitol C Church, the global body of Christ, because we honestly

believe that we can do infinitely more together than apart. So whether you're here in America like we are,

or joining us from somewhere else in this beautiful world, whether you're the CEO of some large

company, or a stay-at-home mom with a small army of kids, whether you're a college student or a church

leader or a barista at Starbucks, or maybe you're in a season of transition right now, whether

you're driving in your car or running

on the treadmill or hiding in the bathroom from your toddler.

Guys, we have a calling, and that is to know God and to make him known.

So as I mentioned in our last episode, for this first month of 2020, the first podcast

episodes of a brand new decade, we're taking some intentional time to focus

on the underlying purpose, on how to use what we already have to make the Great Commission

a reality, not for our glory, but for his. In episode 68 with Emily Freeman, we talked about

the decision-making process and the significance of following God into our next right thing.

And today for Episode 69, we're getting a peek at the behind-the-scenes of leadership from someone I deeply respect,

and one of the wisest leaders of our time, my pastor and Amy's husband, Craig Groschelle.

Craig is this senior pastor at Life Church, host of the popular Craig Rochelle Leadership Podcast,
