Sometimes you have to simply sit in the heartbreak of reality looking so, so different than you thought it would.

But the beauty of the gospel is that the worst thing to happen is not the last thing, because Friends, Sunday did come, and he is risen.

Welcome to the Storyteller's Live podcast where everyday women are sharing stories of hope found in Jesus.

I'm Katie Dunn.

I'm Robin Cowen.

And I'm Lindy Walker.

And we are your podcast host, as well as part of the Storytellers Live ministry where simple life stories are helping women all over the country not only increase their faith in Christ,
