G-I-R-L-S-C-A-N-P-S-C-A-N-P back to Girls Camp. I'm Haley Rawl, your host and this is

episode two. First and foremost before I forget last week I neglected to shout out

Janessa Smith aka Gold Myth Music. She is the one who wrote the intro song for the

podcast and I love it so much. I asked her to come up with something that sounded like a camp song and she delivered.

I think it's so fun. It is unbelievably catchy. It has fully been stuck in my head since she sent it to me two months ago and

Probably stuck in your head too, which I kind of love I am really blown away that anybody listened to last week's episode. I am so

grateful if you tuned in if you reached out and commented or

deemed or left a review I'm not joking when I say it means the world as I, I so badly want to build a community around this

podcast and I feel like that is already happening in ways I could not have even hoped for. So thank you again for being

here and for coming back for more. I am so happy to have you. So last week I left you in the kitchen of my friend's house when I

had the realization that I was going to step away from the church for good.

That is where I'm going to pick up the story today,

and I'm going to try my best to tell the happenings from then until now and talk more about where

I sit today and where I've essentially come to in the present moment. I also asked for you all to

submit any questions that you have about that part of my journey and I got some really really thought-provoking

questions that I'm so glad you wrote in. I'm going to be answering those questions as I tell the story and then maybe

answer a few at the end as well. Some of the questions are so good that I am going to put a pin in them for future episodes where I want to do more of a deep dive into different

facets of the journey and different topics.

So stay tuned for some of those topics

we're gonna dig into more.

Again, today I'm just gonna do my best

to give a bit of an overview and see if I can sum it all up.
