Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour with Jamie Ivy podcasts. I'm your host Jamie and I'm so glad you're here.

Each week on this show, I invite a friend to join me and we chat about the big things in life, the little things in life, and everything in between.

Friends, welcome to another episode of the happy hour. Before I tell you about today's show, I want to tell you something is that I'm having a lot of fun on Instagram these days.

Basically because I'm giving away some amazing things right now. If you don't follow me over there, now's your chance because every week leading up to the release of my newest book, UBU.

I'm giving away some of my favorite things. So head on over to Instagram, make sure you're following me. I'm at Jamie Ivy or I'll make it easy for you guys. You can text UBU233-777. That's UBU. No spaces to 33-777 to connect with me on social media and learn how to pre-order the book UBU. Because friends, 13 days until my book comes out into the world. I'm so excited. Can I read a review of the book from my friend and former guests on the show, Chris?

Is that okay? Well, I have the microphone, so I'm going to go ahead and do it. Here it is. Chris Kane says this and her down to earth, tell it like it is transparent and humorous way.

Jamie dispels the lives. Many of us believe about ourselves and invites us to accept that who we are in Christ is exactly who we need to be in order to outwork his purposes in the world.

I love this woman and you will love this book. Chris, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Guys, I do think you're going to love this book. I'm so stinking proud of it. Okay, friends today we have a duo on the happy hour, which has only happened a handful of times.

Stevie and Cezanne Hendrix are joining me for the happy hour today. Now Cezanne might be familiar to you because she was a guest back in 2017 on episode 126.

A lot of life has happened for Cezanne since then. She was also a guest at our happy hour live. The last one we had in August of 2019 before COVID caused us to cancel all of them this year.

And I actually was so fortunate to go to Rwanda earlier in the year right before everything shut down and Cezanne was on that trip and her sister was there and we had a great time. I loved getting to know her on that trip.

I was so happy to be able to travel with African new life to see the work that they're doing in Rwanda. Love it. This couple is so much fun. And as we talk today, they are now living in Austin, Texas, which means we're kind of neighbors.

Also, I was recently a guest on their podcast, the Good Life. Check out their show. They have great guests on there. I'm not saying that just because I was there, but they really do. When I was on, we talked all about my new book.

I was interested in hearing more about you, you check that out. Stevie shares about the incredible journey of how God led them to sell their house in LA and then wait to find a new home. A new home that they thought they were going to find in LA.

The story is really interesting and there are lots of moments of no way did that actually happen like my mouth dropped open one time when he was telling me the story.

I really appreciated how the Hendrix's share openly about the way God has been calling them into living boldly for Christ, right where they are. They're owning their influence and in ways they didn't actually know or plan they would.

But they are reaping so much joy and being obedient to God's calling. I know you're going to be encouraged today by their story friends today. We also have another episode of on the other side, it released today.

And it's a former happy hour guest, which makes me so happy. Cheryl Scruggs has been on the show before on the happy hour and on the podcast today on the other side.

Cheryl and her husband Jeff join us here is a clip from that interview that's available today.

Jeff and Cheryl, we're talking about on the other side of reconciliation with you guys today. And what I do know is that you were married for 10 years and then you were divorced for how many seven seven seven seven.

And then you got remarried and you've been married for 20 years since your remarriage. So we're going to jump into what does it look like to be reconciled in a marriage after a divorce to the same person because that's not usually people's story.

That's true. What's a lot of fun that I get to introduce her as my first and second wife. I have a lot of fun with that, but it's I'm sure that you do. I'm sure that you do.
