Welcome to the Journey Women Podcast. I'm your host, Hunter Beelis. Life's a journey we were never meant to walk alone.

We all need friends along the way. On the Journey Women Podcast, we'll chat with mentors about gracefully navigating the seasons and challenges we face on our journeys to glorify God.

We're continuing our Women of the Face series in which we are talking about women from church history who will encourage us to trust our God who doesn't change.

Today, Karen Ellis is going to share the story of an incredible woman named Mariah Fearing.

Mariah's story will inspire you to set aside excuses and serve the Lord with gladness.

I can't wait for you to hear more about her, but before we get started, I want to say thanks to those of you who support our podcast through your generous donations.

Journey Women is a nonprofit organization that exists to move women to know and love God, to find their hope in the gospel, and to invest deeply in their local churches as they go out on mission for the glory of God.

If you'd like to join us in this endeavor, you can learn more at journeywomen.org-slash-give.

In this series, we are looking at the lives of different women throughout church history.

The more we learn about them, the more you may be challenged to study the Bible more deeply and be better equipped to teach God's Word.

If you find yourself there, know that Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary offers a variety of flexible degree options to empower you to do just that.

Southeastern believes God has commanded each of us to go and make disciples by teaching His Word and sharing the truth about Jesus Christ.

That's why they offer a diverse selection of certificate programs, master's degrees, and advanced degrees to help equip women to serve the church and fulfill the Great Commission.

Southeastern would be privileged to play a part in your growth in God's Word and your training to fulfill the Great Commission in all of life.

Such a joy to have you on the show.

As soon as I heard from the Good Book Company that we would be releasing one of the do great things for God's series together, I was like, well, how can I say no to that if I get to work with K-A-L-S?
