I'm going to As a church, church, we've just finished a series on the nine core practices that comprise the Bridgetown Rule of Life. And as we continue to integrate it into the shared life of our church, we wanted to provide

a resource to help explore what a rule of life actually is and how we came about integrating

of life looks like in your context and we hope you will join us for this journey as we seek to be made into God's image together. Hey, Hey friends as we work towards integrating this Bridgetown Rule of Life into the life of our church

we're hosting a series of conversations with people who have really lived experience

So Tyler, would you tell us maybe a little bit more about that story, introduce us to

Gemma and then we'll get started.

Yeah, so for seven years prior to getting to Pastor
