Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter.

Thanks for joining. I am in the podcast studio with not one, but two of our Watermark Institute students, Brian and Laura Schwartz.

Hey.

Hey, Emma. I'm glad you all are here.

You guys are fellows.

So kind of explain, what's the difference between residents and fellows?

We're just working slightly longer at the church.

We have a little more hours, but we all study the same material.

So I'm part of the porch team here and Laura.

I'm part of the marriage team.

I love it.

I love it.

I have heard great things about both of you.

Your reputations precede you.

And I would love to get to know y'all better.

I mean, we've been in some meetings, but I haven't gotten to hear your stories.

Laura, why don't you go first?

Tell us a little bit about how you came to know Jesus.

Fast forward. Where are you today? Yeah, Emma, thanks so much for having us.

Oh, you're welcome.

So my story, I didn't grow up in a family that knew the Lord. I'm pretty new to faith, about four to five years before Christ just found my whole identity in sports and people and academic achievement.

So sweet, just stumbled upon the porch about four years ago and got saved, I've been walking with him since.
