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 this year's Watermark Institute, join the Journey Fellow. It's Hannah Stops.

What's up, friends? How's it going? Hannah, so good to have you here. You're normally. Well, tell everybody, what do you normally do for the podcast?

Yeah, so good.

I mean, the new update in your life is that you moved to Dallas.

My hand is up. I know it. I feel bad. All those girls shout out to you for dealing with me.

pastor's kid, all this stuff. But there was just no heart change. There was no, okay, this actually is a real person.
