Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast where everyday people share real and personal stories.

Some are profound and challenging, while others are more common and relatable, shared with

honesty and humor.

But all of these stories reveal what God can do in our lives when we trust him with the details.

Thanks for joining us.

Hi, everyone.

This is your host, Kelly, from the Storytellers Live team.

On each episode, a different woman shares her story, often in a live setting, with the bottom line being that God is good.

Today, you'll hear from Rachel, whose marriage hit rock bottom due to her husband's addiction.

This is a story of God's miraculous grace to turn mess into healing and ministry.

One of the unexpected ways that storytellers has made an impact is just hearing how God has connected women with similar experiences, women who share the same stories.

And they have found so much comfort and relief and support and encouragement from finding

others who have walked the same path and fought the same battles and felt the same things.

And so that has been really neat to see how God has done the same thing with Rachel and her husband,

that they have had countless opportunities to meet with couples who are battling

addiction and helping them walk through that healing process.

As we've mentioned before, each week at our local storytellers gathering, we pass out a custom

designed card with a quote or a scripture shared by the speaker just to serve as a reminder

of the story or one of the important points or truths that they share.

And so please visit our website at storytellerslive.org, and you can download your free PDF

scripture card under our show notes. And now on to Rachel's story. Here she is.

All right. So I'm so excited to be here. Robin called me on the 20th day of prayer for 21 days of prayer
