Well, hey guys, and welcome to the messy table, an ordinary space where we can gather together, maybe even

push pause on the nonstop craziness of life and intentionally remember that God's working in this mess.

My name is Jen Jewel and I consider it such a joy to host this faith-fueled conversation-style

podcast, which unleashes a brand new episode into your speakers,

your earbuds, your world every other Tuesday. And today I also have my good friend and

co-host back with me, the lovely Cindy Beal. Y'all, we are partnered with women of our

church, life church, because we love the local church. And we also think one of the best things ever is locking arms with brave women from all

over the planet, from all over the Capitol C Church, who willingly offer a piece of their

story so that we might learn and grow.

But before we hear from our amazing guests for today, I have to read you Hebrews 1036

through 37, which I just read and

100% needed in my life. It says patient endurance is what you need now so that you will continue

to do God's will. Then you will receive all that He has promised. For in just a little while,

the coming one will come and not delay, and my righteous ones will live by faith.

So guys, make no mistake.

We have not been left here as orphans.

Jesus is coming back, and at that moment there will be no more delay.

What's crazy is that we can be counted as righteous simply by accepting his grace and putting

on his righteousness, not ours.

So, as the text says, patient endurance is what we need now so that we can continue doing

his will.

I don't know about you, but I desperately needed to read that.
