Reading our Bibles regularly can be a challenge, but we're all on this journey together.

We're praying that this podcast inspires you, helps you better understand God's word, and builds your faith.

This is Join the Journey with your host, Emma Daughter.

Thanks for joining. I am in the podcast studio with today's Devo writer, Yvonne Gonzalez.

Hi, I'm Yvonne.

Glad to have you here, Yvonne.

Would you tell us just a little bit about your Watermark journey?

Yeah, I started coming in a Watermark in 2017, but this is my second time.

I came here in 2009 through 2012, and it was a huge mess. At the time,

I got disciples, went through region, but left for a little bit in search of maybe just something

different. But eventually the Lord brought me back here. A lot of had to do with my background

being in porn and sex addiction. And a lot of the ministries that I pointed people to were at Watermark.

And I'm like, well, I might as well just come back instead of just pointing people.

So came back and started serving at the porch.

I met my bride in 2019 at the porch.

We served for one month.

And we had a conversation because a lot of my background is anti-trafficking.

So I do that on the side.

And she remembered that. And so during the pandemic, she wanted to do some street outreach.

And she's like, I don't know what to do. And she asked me, I was like, would you come out? And

we started doing street outreach. And we invited some friends. And before I knew it, I knew I couldn't

just give her a hug because it was really hard. I was like, I needed to ask this girl out, asked her out.
