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

here.

A 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 about our 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

together as girlfriends and I cannot wait to get started.

Our guest for today's episode is my new friend Kelly Minter. Kelly is a Bible teacher,

a writer, a speaker, and she recently came out with a beautiful cookbook called A Place

at the Table. Now friends, if you are anything like me, you really want to be like Kelly.

You want to be the kind of person who invites people into your home, who cooks nourishing

food for your loved ones, and who has wonderful conversations around the table that turn into

lifelong best friendships. But again, if you're anything like me, the reality looks a little

bit different. You're ordering takeout and heating up the leftovers far more often than

you're cooking and you're eating on the couch while watching Netflix far more often

than you're gathering your loved ones around your table. Such as me, anyone else?

Now I am a forever fan of takeout and Netflix but I also know that if this is all we're

doing, we're missing out on some seriously wonderful opportunities for connection, community,

and really good food. And that's why I'm so excited to have Kelly on the show today.

Kelly's going to teach us why it's so important to gather your community around the table

and even better, she's going to teach us how to do it. Now listen, there are no prerequisites

that you need to have covered in order to listen to this episode. This episode is for all
