Holly Elif says what you experience as a younger woman can serve a purpose later in life.

Part of the perspective that comes with living a little longer is that as you look back

over the context of your life and you see God providing, you see God acknowledging your need,

then it gives you a little bit of a platform to say to that younger woman, I've been where you are, and I know how hard that is.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamut, author of Adorned, for July 11, 2019.

We're picking up today on a conversation we started yesterday with my longtime friend and friend

of Revive Our Hearts, Holly Elif. Holly, you were here, I'm remembering now in Little Rock, Arkansas,

where we're recording at Family Life Studios today. You were here for the earliest days of recording

Revive Our Hearts. And in fact, that took place at the church that your husband has

pastored for many years. Just help our listeners get a sense of what those early days were like.

Here's a moment I remember from those early. Well, I remember even before Revive Our Hearts started,

there was a night, and I think we've mentioned this in the past, in years past,

but there was a night in Nancy's condo here in Little Rock, and Nancy was sick and was in her bathrobe and her slippers.

I remember this.

And Mary Cassian was there, and Kim Wagner was there, and I was there.

And we were sitting literally on her den floor while Nancy laid on the couch and just talking about...

I had a stomach bug. Yes. What was it that women needed to be able to follow the Lord in every circumstance of life and how do we take the things that the enemy has hijacked

and restore those to women's hearts and minds. And it was such a precious night because it was

like light bulbs going on in our hearts and minds and spirits. And out of that moment really

became the desire to see God do a fresh work in that area for women.

And really, Reviver Hearts kind of grew from those seeds and family life and putting into that.

And I can vividly remember Nancy's level of fear as we started the radio program.
