This is Jenny Allen and you are listening to the Made for This Podcast. So as many of you know, we have been in the midst of an incredible season talking

about the basics of who God is and his plans for us and you guys have shared the heck out of it. It's been incredible to hear the stories

from unbelievers that were touched and strong believers that appreciate just having language and

honestly in the midst of such a crazy time

the big reminder of what it is we're believing in what it is we're hoping for and so anyway if

you've missed any of that go back and catch it all because it will give you just this simple basic understanding of who Jesus is, who the Holy Spirit is, the plans for the church, heaven, who is God, you know, from the beginning. beginning so anyway one reason we were inspired to

build that season was because I've been living and breathing as you know the story of

God with Theolaby and if you don't know you need to go check it out right now at

Theolaby.com. What we're doing is building a basic series that describes the

heart of God for all of us really honestly, like my sister read this first book that I'm going to read to you,

and when she saw the pictures mixed with the words, you know, even though she'd grown up in the church and in Bible studies,

she had tears in her eyes and she was like, so this is why God created us.

This is so much more than a storybook Bible or the basics of, you know, who God is and what he's doing.

This is really the heart of God for us. Why did he create? Why did he

send Jesus? What was the great plan that we're all going toward? And I think

that's a story that I, even though I grew up in a healthy church, several healthy

churches, I never understood the big picture of what the point was and so my hope

is that these stories will help you see the heart of God for you, for your kids, and for the world.

So I'm going to actually, today I'm going to read to you the first book,

and it is about to ship. It's being printed. to you're going to be able to

it's being printed right now and what we're going to do is you're going to be able to go

order that series and over the course of the next year you will have each book of the five book series
