Hi, Grove Girls, it's Francesca Price here. Today's conversation is one that will encourage your heart in a deep way.

Shelly Giglio is joined by her dear friend and a longtime Grove girl, Christine Kane.

Christine is an activist, evangelist, author, and public speaker, and she and Shelley have an honest, faith-filled conversation

about what it really means to flourish in hard seasons.

Together, they talk about Christine's new book,

The Faith to Flourish, the powerful image

of the olive tree and scripture,

and how women of God can stay rooted in Jesus

when life feels heavy, uncertain, or painful. This episode speaks to healing, abiding,

friendship, suffering, and the kind of faith that helps us not just survive, but truly flourish. So sit

back, grab a cup of coffee, and let's lean in to today's conversation together.

Here we are at the Grove podcast with my friend Christine Kane, who I love so much.

So glad you're in the room with me today.

I'm so pumped.

What a gift.

We've already had a good lunch.

I'm laughing because I'm going, do you think we have anything left to say?

I think I have not stopped speaking for two hours.

We literally went to lunch and had the best lunch and we got done and so we should have just recorded that. No, I kept saying, we've got to record this, but I did want to eat. That was some of the best pizza and meatball. I mean, you pick the best Italian places. Well, I do like to eat. And you like to eat. So it works not really good when we're

together as a blast. Hey, I wanted to mention that you just released a new book. I did. I love it.

The title of it, the content of it is so in line with who you are. It just is such a joy to get to

read it. But I think for people, they'll get so much courage from it.
