Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast, where everyday women share stories of hope found in Jesus.

I'm Robin and I'm here with Katie and Lindy and today we are bringing you our second hidden gem from our summer series of reposts.

I wasn't raised in a Christian home.

We never went to church, and we didn't really talk about God in my home, so it just wasn't something that was in our life.

My parents divorced when I was three years old.

We did kind of like the every other weekend thing with my dad, and I was always a big daddy's girl, and I'm still real close to my dad.

But growing up, it was just always more me and my mom and my
