I was not looking for a spiritual moment, but I had one.

I'm just there.

Nobody is around me.

And it's just me in the ocean.

And I was like, wow, God, this is cool.

Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast, where everyday women share stories of hope found in Jesus.

I'm Robin, and I'm here with Lindy and Katie, and we are your podcast host, and it is Christmas.

Christmas is in a few days. And so today we are bringing you Ashley McCrary's

season. If you're looking for some new content with audio devotions or podcast episodes,

Patreon over the months, you know that Amy does a lot of our interviews. She does stories within the

story and she does some of the where are they nows as well. But we are just thrilled that we're

going to be able to catch up with Amy and see what all God is done in her life, especially after the last 10 years.
