I could feel the Lord's presence right in my kitchen working on me.

He so desperately wanted to free me, but only I could be the one to let go.

All he wanted was for me to say, you are all I need.

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

And today's story is a story of hope found in Jesus.

I am Robin, and I'm here with Katie and Lindy, and we are your podcast host.

And around holidays, particularly Easter, we always try and be very intentional of the stories we share.

And so when I told you that today's story is filled with hope, you were going to hear Julie talk about

breaking free from years of living in fear. That's right, Robin. You know, Julie is from our community

group in Montgomery. She spoke at a live gathering. And gosh, you know, she's walked through

a couple of really traumatic events. One of those you're going to hear that she walked through

with her girls. She has two daughters and you're going to hear that. The other one is with her

husband and his illness. But one of the things that Julie points us to, and I love that we're doing

this right before Easter, is just Jesus being the good shepherd and how he wants us to live in freedom from fear, from anxiety, from idols maybe that we've created in our lives.

So I think this particular Holy Week that you can lean into Jesus a little bit more through Julie's story and ask yourself, is there something that I am not giving over to God that he wants

to free me from? Are there chains that are holding me back that he wants to free me from? And I am excited

because Patreon, we're going to have a little bit of a treat offered for you there as well.

Absolutely. Katie, I'm so excited that y'all are able to do a story within the story and talk further

with not only Julie, but her daughters and hear more of the

story. So click the link in our show notes and you can join our Patreon community if you're

already not a member. Also, ticket sales closed this Friday. This is the last week to get a ticket

for our storytelling luncheon that we're having here in Birmingham. On April the 20th,
