Everybody, what is going on?

You know what time it is.

You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter.

Thanks for joining.

I am in the podcast studio with today's Devo writer, Amy Woodard.

Hi.

I'm excited to be here.

Thank you for having me, Emma.

You're so welcome.

I'm so glad you're here.

We just met this morning. We're recording this at 8.30 on a Thursday. So I don't know what do you do at 8.30 on Thursdays. Typically, I'm guessing you're getting your kids ready for school. By 8.30, my two youngest have gone to school. And then my older two are typically getting ready to leave.

Sometimes, yeah, every day looks a little bit different for me because I sub.

When I'm subbing, I am already usually out the door.

It's cool.

And then there's other days like today where I get a little bit of extra time.

And you get to come share with us.

So, Amy, tell me a little bit.

How did you, how or when did you come to know Jesus?

Well, I'm very grateful that I was raised in a home, a very loving, a Christian home.

And so my parents just taught me about Jesus from, you know, as long as I can

remember between Bible stories and singing songs, a scripture that was even, you know,

embroidered on a, you know, a frame on the wall.
