0:00.0	I never thought that I would be the prodigal daughter.
0:06.2	I remember studying that after all of this was over and just thinking, man, I finally understand
0:13.4	how you can go farther than you want to go and how sin can keep us way longer than we want
0:19.0	to stay.
0:21.9	Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast, where everyday women share stories of hope found in Jesus.
0:28.1	I'm Robin, and I am here with Katie and Lindy, and we are your podcast host.
0:32.1	Welcome to the second episode of season seven.
0:35.1	We are so thankful to be back. Happy fall. Happy back to school.
0:40.4	And today we are bringing you a story from one of our live gatherings in Oxford, Mississippi.
0:45.9	They actually had a live gathering this summer, one of our few summer gatherings.
0:50.2	They brought in Courtney Golden to share. And one thing we want to tell you real quick before we get into this story is that there is a mention of suicide in this episode. So if that is a trigger for you, just know that there is some discussion of that in this story. You know, when I first heard Courtney's story, it just reminded me the importance of just being grounded in God's word and being aware that no one is immune to spiritual warfare,

1:17.7	that there is nothing you have done that is too far gone for God to not be able to redeem you from.
1:24.4	God's love and forgiveness has absolutely no boundaries. And I hope that you hear
1:29.1	that through her story. Before Courtney's story, as we move into fall, we do want to encourage you to
1:34.6	check out our Bible studies. We offer two different Bible studies in one series called When
1:39.7	God Shows Up. One is stories of hope and the other is stories of freedom. And basically it's eight
1:46.4	podcasts that are centered around small group questions and scripture and personal reflection.
1:53.3	We have received great feedback on these studies, not only people that have done them in a
1:58.4	small group, maybe at church or in their neighborhood, but also just as
2:02.0	individual studies. So go to our website at storytellerslive.org and check out our Bible studies.
2:07.4	You can also click the link in our show notes. Here's Courtney. My name's Courtney Golden,
