Okay, so think about this. What would you do if God had called you to be a mother and you never had one?

Called you to be a parent and you never had that experience. Called you to build a home and all you had known was temporary homes.

Wait till you hear Leah's story. Welcome to the Jada Edwards podcast. Welcome to season three of the Jada Edwards podcast.

You'll get a little bit of Bible teaching, some great stories, and some great interviews along the way.

Leah, we already, already, how we just started?

Well, listen, I am thrilled to have you on the podcast today. Thank you so much for saying yes. Yes, I'm honored to be here. Thank you. We're so glad you're here. Okay, tell us just a little bit about yourself and they're going to know what I'm talking about. So tell us like where you're from and kind of how you found your way to one community church. Oh, wait. by the way y'all leah is is my MOV. She might protect it. Don't play. She loves Jesus, but she still got them hands. So she keeps, she walks around and she cute and she like cheery and smiley, but she'll take you out. So she stays with me at church and she's just been a godsend, just a heart of service and make sure that I'm taking care of here. And we do it real low key. We don't roll with no deep entourage. It's not eight of us. It's just me and Leah. And so. And God. Okay, he really. So, so glad you're here with me today. So tell me a little bit about you and how you ended up at one community church. Yes, absolutely. So I'm Leah.

I came, I'm from Brooklyn, New York, born and raised.

I moved out here in 2003, off and on.

And when I found out about one community church, it was you that brought me here, actually.

Shh, don't sound the about it. But, yes, I have seen one of your, I think I was just scrolling online, and I've seen one of your teachings on church, church. It was like the very first one, I believe. And I was just listening. I was like, yes, I was in, I'm not going to tell you I was, but I was somewhere and I was like,

yes, yes, that's it.

So from then on, I just kept, I was following, kept looking for your videos, kept listening.

And then one year, again, church, church came up again.

And you were like, just come in. Just come on i just came in and my my her pastor preach pastor conway and i knew this was the church i had to be in

because i felt you know a connection with you without before even knowing you spiritually and then when when I came in that Sunday, I sat all the way in the back. And I came guys on the maze. It was just a maze. It was, you know, I came first 2015. Right. And then I just sat all away in the back. And I was listening to him and I was just crying, crying. And then when it was over, I left, but I knew I would be back. And I didn't serve right away. That was a long time. How long before you started serving? About three, four years ago now. Oh, my gosh. Girl, that was too long. The devil was busy. But that's okay. You got to take your time sometimes. But, man, what an amazing story that God just sovereignly brought you here. Yeah, this is just so crazy.

Okay, so here's the question I always start out with. Tell me, if you could describe your life

on one word, what would it be? So it will, it's going to be a symbol and it's going to be,

yeah, it would be a word word and I choose the semicolon um

it was created for authors to use to continue on a sentence that should have ended and when I think

of that I think of Leah's life it should have ended so many times ago yeah a semicolon girl that's good

you might have a little word in you.

I love it.
