0:00.0	Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter.
0:08.7	Thanks for joining. I am in the podcast studio with one of our Watermark Institute students, Catherine Cotton.
0:15.3	Hi. Catherine, I am so glad you're here. You and I both serve on the equipping team, which is so fun. And I would
0:22.2	love for you to share just a little bit about your story. How you came to know the Lord. Fast forward,
0:27.3	where are you today? Yeah, I'm super glad to be here. Thanks dad was a pastor, so I was a pastor's kid. I knew who Jesus
0:39.1	was at a really young age. And after a vacation Bible school week, I came home and asked my mom
0:46.5	about Jesus and accepted him into my heart. And I definitely knew who Jesus was, and I believe that I was saved at a young age, but didn't
0:57.6	really start to walk in my faith until college and after college. In college, I went through
1:03.4	a season of doubt, really began to question if my faith was my own. But through a loss of two family friends, it really, I came to a place where I had to

1:26.8	really personal to me.
1:29.6	And then after college, I struggled a lot with anxiety and fear and really came to the end of myself.
1:36.0	Because throughout my high school years, I was tried to be perfect, tried to do it all on my own.
1:42.3	And I realized after college with anxiety and fear,
1:45.2	I was incapable of fixing myself and fixing my anxiety. And after a conversation with my mom
1:52.8	one night, she told me, you can't fix yourself. You can't be good enough. You can't be perfect. And
1:59.3	you have to surrender that and ask Jesus to help you.
2:04.8	And so I distinctly remember just praying that night and opening up my hands and saying,
2:10.1	God, I just can't do it.
2:11.4	I need you to do it.
2:13.0	And after that, I think that was the first time I truly understood the gospel is that Jesus came and rescued me and I did nothing to deserve it.
