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.

Today we have several stories to share with you.

We have a panel of three women, Kelly, Marty, and

Carolyn, who will answer some questions and share stories that give us insight into the daily

lives of moms raising children with various needs, the challenges, the joys, the unique

routines, the comments that occasionally come from strangers in public places, and the ways that God

has shown up in the hardest of hard times. The beauty of getting a personal peek into their day-to-day

living is that understanding breeds empathy. Empathy leads to more thoughtful conversations and actions,

and those hopefully spark relationships or deepen them. And all of that,

in turn, builds a strong and healthy community. And that is why we have local gatherings and why we're

not just a podcast. You can find out more about how to locate or launch a group in your area by
