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

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

And we are so excited that for the past four weeks you have been getting a taste of Patreon

So many times. And I want to start off just by reading Psalms 40. And I'm just going to read a little bit because this was my life verse for a really,

really, really long time. And it says, I waited patiently for the Lord. And he turned to me and heard

my cry for help. He brought me up from a desolate pit out of the muddy

clay and set my feet on rock, making my steps secure. And I would hold on to that just waiting.

Like I knew that God had promises for me, but I just wasn't sure. And it all started when, oh, my goodness, I'm in like
