As we continue our “Love our City” campaign, Emma Dotter interviews Watermark Member, Dana Spangenberg! So much of Dana’s story involves attempting to fix situations by her actions, but she expounds on how her dependence on the Lord is where she finds hope. As she shares, Dana shows the attention of God for the whole earth to the personal relationship with his people.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, friends, if you are listening with young children around, we would encourage you to listen to this episode first by yourself before listening together. |
| 0:08.1 | All right, all right, join the Journey family, friends, and guests. |
| 0:11.7 | You're listening to Join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter. |
| 0:16.9 | Thanks for joining. Today, we are reading Psalm 33, and I am here in the podcast studio with |
| 0:23.5 | actually an old friend. And this is a little embarrassing, Dana. I'm here with you. |
| 0:28.4 | Hi, Emma. How do you pronounce your last name? Okay, that's fair. It is Spangenberg. |
| 0:34.5 | I've only had this last name for coming up on a year now, so I'm still adjusting to it. |
| 0:38.8 | So when I met you, this was not your last name. And I'm looking at it. Yeah, it used to be Harrington. |

| 1:08.7 | And there wasn't really a time in my life for looking |
| 1:10.9 | back. I didn't identify as a Christian or believe that the gospel was true. And so what that |
| 1:17.8 | looked like for me was believing that by my faith in Jesus, I would be saved and that when |
| 1:24.7 | I died, I would spend eternity with him. So you remember just throughout your whole childhood, just always believing that truth? |
| 1:31.1 | Yeah, I always believed that. |
| 1:32.6 | But I think where the disconnect for me was, was no one ever really taught me what that meant for my life today, what faith in life, like walking the walk of a Christian, looked like. And so my faith for me was just |
| 1:46.2 | this security of what I could expect for when I died, not for what opportunity for new life looked |
| 1:53.5 | like. I see. And so as a child growing up, I really looked for security and comfort and all of the |
