| 0:00.0 | And I remember praying, God, show me this Jesus. |
| 0:09.3 | I want to know this Jesus, which was a humbling statement, honestly, for a person who had been in church my whole entire life. |
| 0:23.6 | Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast where everyday women share stories of hope. I'm Robin |
| 0:28.9 | and I am here with Lindy and Katie and we are your podcast hosts. Today we have Wendy Pope |
| 0:35.1 | and y'all before we even get started, I have the coolest story about this. |
| 0:39.3 | A lot of, well, every time before we record a story or even in a live gathering, we pray over the |
| 0:44.4 | women sharing. So when Wendy was sharing her story, we were on Zoom and so I prayed for her |
| 0:49.8 | right before we started and I just really felt prompted to say, you know, even if you feel like your |
| 0:56.7 | story's changing a little bit right now, if the Lord leads you in a different direction as you're |
| 1:01.1 | sharing, go with that. We tell our storytellers a lot. Go with where the Holy Spirit leads you, |
| 1:05.5 | even if you've told us something different. And so I finished praying and I looked at her and I said, |
| 1:12.5 | I really mean that. Like the Lord is really impressing on me that maybe your story is going to look a little different than |

| 1:22.4 | whole story when you said that in prayer. She said, I have not shared this story and I don't know how long. And so |
| 1:29.0 | y'all, our storytellers usually prepare for a very long time. And this was one that in the |
| 1:34.5 | moment, the Holy Spirit just changed Wendy's story. And so I know without a shadow of a doubt that |
| 1:41.0 | this story is for you all. So please listen. And if it really speaks to you, |
| 1:45.8 | will you please let us know? Because we just want to know what God's doing. So we want it confirmed. |
| 1:51.7 | I love so much that you shared that because when I heard Wendy's story, it just really ignited |
| 1:56.1 | something in me to really get to know God more. That's what he's calling us into. He's calling us into a deeper |
| 2:02.2 | relationship. This story is for every person out there. You're going to love Wendy's story. I can't |
| 2:07.6 | wait to hear Wendy as well. And I cannot believe we are sitting in November. Katie and Robin, |
