Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie May Wilson and I am so happy that you're

here.

Each week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions we

have about our lives as women. We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships

and self-confidence. A better calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives to

the absolute full. Life is so much better and easier and absolutely more fun when we navigate

it together as girlfriends and I cannot wait to get started.

So you may already know this about me, but about four years ago I wrote a book called

The Lipstick Gospel. It was my very first book. It's a travel memoir and it's the story

of my testimony. It's the story of how God got the attention of a very lost, very broken,

very messy, sorority girl and how he totally transformed her while my life. This was a

hard story to live through. That's for sure. And as you'll soon get to hear the story

starts in a season where all of my most important relationships had totally fallen apart.

I was going through a brutal breakup. I was deeply lonely in my friendships. My relationship

with myself was a wreck and I didn't have a relationship with God yet. Not only that,

but I was pretty sure I didn't want one. Now all of that changed when I was studying

abroad in Europe for the semester and I ended up becoming a Christian in the Sistine

Chapel of all places. But I'm totally giving away the ending here. You'll get to hear

more about that soon.

Well, as I was planning our episodes for season six, I realized that there are a lot of

y'all that haven't heard this story yet. And I think it's time we change that. I sent

my friend Taja, who you've gotten to meet here on the show, a copy of the lipstick gospel
