Welcome to the Daily Grace podcast. Here at the Daily Grace Co, our mission is to equip disciples in the Word.

We believe that deep Bible study and rich theology are not just for the seminary student or pastor,

but they are accessible for all believers. We hope these conversations will invite you into a deeper

relationship with the Lord and to remind you that the gospel changes everything. Hey, everyone,

welcome back to the Daily Grace podcast. This is Crystal, and today I am joined by a friend of the

podcast, author and Bible teacher, Christine Hoover. Christine, thanks for joining me today. I'm so glad to be back. I always love being on the Daily Grace podcast. Oh, it's so fun. And, you know, last time we chatted about a book, this time we're going to chat about Bible study that came out over the summer on one of my favorite books of the Bible. It's the book of

2nd Corinthians, and the Bible study is called More Than Enough. And, you know, we've been talking

a little bit before we started recording last time you were on. It was really during a season

where you were walking through hardship. And I think a lot of that probably has informed you

going into this Bible study. And so I'm excited to talk a little bit more about that. First, for those who maybe aren't familiar, maybe they didn't listen to the last time we had you on, would you just share a little bit about yourself and what you do? Sure. I live in Austin, Texas with my husband, Kyle, who is a pastor and we have three boys. Two of them are in college. So

I was about to say they're at home with us, but they're not. One's a senior in college, one is a

sophomore. And then we have a third son who is a senior in high school. So we're kind of in this

really transition. And this is going to be a big year for us. But my husband and I serve on staff at the

Austin Stone. We actually are on staff together at our congregation. So he's the executive

pastor and I get to lead our women's ministry. So that's super fun. And then outside of church,

I get to serve women all across the country and the world, hopefully, through my writing and speaking.

And so, yeah, I've got a lot on my plate, but I love, love, love what I get to do.

That is so cool. So is this the first time that you and your husband have worked together in this

kind of context? Well, we planted a church in Virginia in 2008. So we were there for 14 years before we moved back to Austin three years ago. And so I would say church planting is an all hands on deck kind of endeavor. And so I wasn't, I was never paid by the church. But I definitely, I'd tell my husband, if only I got back pay for all of that. But, you know, I helped start the women's

ministry and lead the women's ministry. I mean, everything for a church plant, you start everything

together. So, yes. I do feel like we have served and worked together, but this is the first

official, me on staff kind of church role. Yeah, I just didn't put together that we're both
