Hello everyone and welcome to the Graceology with Gwen Smith podcast. I'm Gwen Smith and I am really glad you've joined me today. We are loving season four with the addition of our

moments of grace episodes and we hope you really are too. If you haven't had a chance to

rate and review the show wherever you listen, would you tap your podcast app and do that right

now? It helps other people know about the show and even determine if they want to give it a

listen. So if you get a chance to rate and review

the show, it would be greatly appreciated. Around here we have fun, faith-focused, grace-filled

conversations, all to help you know and trust God more. Our discussions are honest, often humorous,
