Hey it's Jordan Johnson and you are listening to The Grove Podcast.

Today we are continuing our Making the Grove series, where you get a behind the scenes look

at how the Grove came to be, and what goes into the brainstorming the creating the

building and the fostering of this gathering that seeks to serve the women of our

city and beyond. The Grove is a monthly gathering for the women of Atlanta

and is an outpouring of Passion City Church.

It's led by Shelly Giglio and an amazing team of women and today we get to hear from a few of them

as we get a closer look into how we prayerfully prepare our hearts and our team

for each Grove gathering. We have Susan Robinson and Carmen Coe who are part of

our Grove leadership team and lead the Grove Prayer team as well.

And we have Melody Malone from Passion Music, who has been part of our Passion City family since the beginning,

and helps lead and steward the worship for our Grove gatherings. Today we talk about how

vital prayer is to this team and to what happens on Monday nights at the Grove

and beyond and how we lean in and listen to God as we prepare. So let's jump in with Susan, Carmen, and Melody.
