Today we are honored to have both Stephanie and Jill back with us to conclude this three-part series about their time at an X-29 church in the

Chicago land area. If you haven't had the chance to listen to their stories, be sure to go

listen to those episodes before coming back to hear today's

conclusion. I'm Johnah Harris, and this is The Bodies Behind the Bus podcast.

I am all about blessed subtraction. There is a pile of dead bodies behind the Marsville bus. And by God's grace,

it'll be a mountain by the time we're done. You either get on the bus or you get run over by the

bus. Those are the options. But the bus ain't going to stop. You either get on the bus

or you get run over by the bus

those are the options

but the bus I can stop

welcome everybody back to the bodies behind the bus podcast

this is a special episode because we have two returning guests who have just shared their

stories on previous episodes.

So we have friends, good friends, Stephanie and Jill here to talk about their friendship,

their community, and their time at the church that we have been discussing

the last couple weeks in the Chicago land area. So Stephanie and Jill, it is an honor to have both

of you here today. Thank you. It's an honor to be here and a huge honor to do this with Stephanie.
