Which if you want to hear more about that trip go listen to episode number 146 with Sophie Hudson and you're just going to crack up laughing the whole time.

And episode number 143 with my friend Angie Smith where she talks about another trip that she went on with Compassion.

We love to cook and entertain and you will hear today how she started her love of cooking with an onion casserole.

Her story of how their small group finally broke down barriers and went deep with their time will encourage you to bring people around your table and into your home.

Being married is someone in the military. She knows a thing or two about seasons and allowing God to grow us in those times. Listen what she says.

God do not create our lives to just you put on hold for seasons. God's bringing us through seasons for purpose.

And so we need to get him everything we have no matter what season it is and not make an excuse. And it's hard but it's good.

Bre's been through different seasons of her life and you're going to love the way she talks about that.

We also talk about recipes and cooking and traveling and what country she loves. We talk about our time together and we were in Kenya.

And we also talk she brags on my Sunday can at the end. Super super fun. And we're going to give you some good podcasts. Listen to it at the end.
