What's up, what's up? Incredible, loved, and valued people. I am so thankful for your presence here on the compelled podcast.

Guys, my name is Emma Mae McDaniel, and I love you so dearly. And every episode is a special one because I just really believe this is such a gift of getting to open up God's word and be a part of your lives in hopefully such an encouraging way by the power of God's spirit.

But today just feels extra special because my man is on the podcast.

Josh is here with us.

And Josh, I think it was like our postpartum episode,

which was in 2023. So it's been almost two whole years since we've been on the podcast together.

Welcome back. Thank you, Emma. Yeah, no. It's been, it's been crazy. It's been a long time since since I've been on here. And yeah, we were, we were talking about postpartum last time I was on here, which is crazy. Now at that point, we had a little, I mean, we had probably an eight-week-old. Yeah, eight-week-old. Now we got almost a two-year-old just a couple weeks. So, yeah, very exciting. I'm excited to be back on here. Excited to, I'm excited for what we're talking about. And yeah, thank you for having me back on. Aw, you're welcome. Thank you for getting out of your comfort zone to come back on. I know this isn't your typical element. This is definitely not my typical element now. You are loving me very well. I asked him, I was like, hey, would you come and be on the podcast? I know it's a big ask. He used to be on it all the time, but things have just changed where it's just not as much of a, like we're just not on the podcast together all the time. So it's a big ask,

because I know you lean on the introverted side a little bit more. So I feel very loved by you saying,

yep, I'm going to show up. Yeah. No, I do. I love it. I love being a part of this ministry and

supporting you in every way. And so it's fun. But yeah. Yeah. Well, so the tables have turned today because typically I'm either opening up God's Word and talking with you guys or I'm getting to interview an incredible guest. But today, Josh is interviewing me, which is so fun.

It is very fun.

It's very fun because you have something coming up.

Something.

Something.

Coming up.

Yeah.

Guys, my book is coming out.

This episode will be releasing.

This is June that we're recording, but it's going to be coming out and this episode will be

released like mid-August my book comes out September night so we are about just shy of a month

away from the girl in the middle being like at your doorstep and that feels surreal to say yeah

no absolutely and I know it's been really cool being in my shoes and being able to that feels surreal to say. Yeah. No, absolutely.
