0:00.0	Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Graceology with Gwen Smith podcast.
0:14.9	I'm Gwen Smith, and I'm really glad you joined me today.
0:18.0	Around here we have fun, faith-focused, grace-filled conversations,
0:22.3	all to help you know and trust God more. Our discussions are honest, often humorous, and always
0:28.9	practical, and they're going to encourage you in meaningful ways to live out and lean on the grace
0:34.7	of Jesus in the midst of cluttered messy days.
0:38.5	You got any of those?
0:40.0	I know I do.
0:41.2	And I can't wait to get to today's show, which is all about living a better story.
0:46.6	My guest is my friend and my girlfriends and God co-founder Sharon Janes.
0:51.7	Sharon's a conference speaker, a sweet tea drinker, and a prolific writer. She lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her husband, Steve, and she's no stranger to the Graceology podcast.

1:21.7	lives. The mistakes, failures, tragedies and circumstances outside of our control linger in our mind and they can hold
1:29.2	us back. How do we come to grips with the pieces of our story that we just wish weren't there?
1:35.4	How do we silence the pain of what's been done to us and the shame of what we've allowed to be
1:40.9	done through us? In this episode, Sharon tells some personal and some biblical stories that show you how God
1:47.3	can untangle your most painful emotions with fingers of grace, putting his redemption on display
1:53.4	through the story that he's writing in and through you. Hey guys, I want to hit you with a personal challenge.
2:07.5	We talk a lot around here about studying the Bible, and here's why.
2:11.0	Everything about your relationship with God grows stronger when you're intentional to get to know him more by studying his word. It informs your
2:19.0	emotions, increases your courage, decreases your doubt, and bolsters your believing. All amazing things,
