Part of the process of getting ready today was going back and finding him again.

More of him and all the stories.

So any of the stories you look back on your life, they're not to make much of our mess.

It is to highlight and make much of his greatness.

And every time you go back, you will find more of him and more of him to uncover.

Not more and more of our mess to swamp us, which is what the enemy wants to do to us.

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

I'm Robin, and I'm here with Wendy and Katie, and we are your podcast host.

And today we are in

week three, story three of a series on overcoming your past and dealing with shame. And you'll,

it has been so great. If you have not listened the past two weeks, I will give you a brief

overview. This summer we did a survey where you all told us what

main topics you wanted to hear in stories. And one of them was overcoming your past and shame

and dealing with shame. And God has brought a story after story on that. So we thought it would be

really great to bring you a series. So first we had Grace, who was in her 20s, then we had Tendell, who's in her 30s. And now we have Katie, who is in her 50s. And Katie shared this story in Tupelo, Mississippi in their live gathering. And you know, God is always so good how he sets these stories up. Because honestly, I mean, you look at Grace's story and it was really just about learning how to walk in that

freedom of not walking in shame. And then you look at Tyndall's story and it was more about, okay,

hey, break the silence of your shame. And then now in Katie's story, it's really just about finding

the God highlights in your past mistakes and where God showed up in those moments. Katie has a lot of different layers to her

story. You're going to hear that. She'll bounce a little bit back and forth between like something

that happened in her past and what's going on in her present to maybe even what's what she's

looking ahead to her future. She's so energetic, you know, and how she delivers that. But you're

going to see all of those different layers. But more importantly, you're going to see all of the different ways that God just really highlighted his redeeming love
