Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast where everyday people share real and personal stories.

Some are profound and challenging, while others are more common and relatable shared with honesty and

humor.

But all of these stories reveal what God can do in our lives when we trust him with the

details.

Thanks for joining us.

Hi, everyone. This is your host, Kelly, from the Storytellers Live team. On each episode, you'll hear a different woman share her story of God's transforming love. These stories are recorded in a live setting at weekly local gatherings, where we're aiming to build community through sharing, connecting, and encouraging one another.

Most importantly, these stories reveal the faithfulness of God and how he can take

what's ordinary and broken and exchange it for extraordinary and redeemed.

This week's podcast comes from the fall kickoff of our Birmingham 280 community. On today's

episode, our storyteller Mandy tells us how a precious yet unexpected gift from God was a catalyst

to new life, new hope, and new opportunities. She also shares how that beautiful gift ultimately

led to reconciliation with her past.

As she says, only God commend all things that are broken.

Here's Mandy.

Thank you so much for that.

And my friend, my dear friend Michelle, get pre-called and prayed over me this morning.

And I'm going to try not to get so weepy so early because there's plenty of tears coming but she had just such a beautiful thought and she said as she prayed Lord

I don't even really want to remember what I said you know what I said and what I'm saying I just

want it to just be just the Holy Spirit coming through me so I just want to honor you Lord and

thank you for being here today So I just want to honor you, Lord, and thank you for being here

today. And I also wanted to honor Amy and these precious girls and this team and my friends.
