Now on to today's show.

Oh, come, oh, call me, Matthew.

Oh. Stories are important because they are meaningful, and they are meaningful because they are memorable, powerful, and they personally connect us with each other.

In this podcast, we take names, faces, hopes, and dreams of people of all walks of life.

We are diverse with ages and races.

You will have the opportunity to hear these stories in their own words.

We believe your story and God's story will intersect with the stories of others. God's story is revealed through scriptures.

Your story is revealed through experiences.

Their story is revealed in life events.

Our hope is that through this podcast,

we will recognize that God uses every part of our stories,

even the messy parts. to bring glory to himself,

draw his children close, and call others into his family.

This podcast is the perfect intersection between your story and God's story.

We believe you will leave here inspired, encouraged, and challenged to share your story with the world. Welcome to

I just didn't know any of that.
