Welcome to The Gathering Place with Blessed is She. I'm Jenna Giza. And I'm Beth Davis.

Pull up a chair and grab a drink. Or you could just keep doing what you're doing.

Pull up a chair in your heart. Come chat with us about Jesus, prayer, community, and life.

So let's get started.

Hi, friends. I just want to say thank you for everything you've done.

I am new to Blessed as she, as in the last two months.

I have ordered your journaling Bible.

I listen to Teach her with Tuesdays. I listen to, on your Instagram. I have spread your mess, you know, your Facebook page far and wide, and I'm just

loving what you're doing and thank you for what you've done. I've always had a deep devotion to

our lady and have always seen Jesus as this

kind of cold, fatherly figure who was not so much angry but not as loving as I now see him as.

So I want to say thank you. How do I, your Bible's arriving on Friday? Just wondering, I'm on the other side of the

world. How do I use this in a group setting? Hey Beth. Hey Jenna. And hey, Jessica, thank you so much

for your question. We loved hearing from you. Jessica from all the way around the world. It's crazy.

So cool. I feel so connected to you. Totally. Me too. Also, I want to come visit you. Yeah, same.

And I want you to read me a bedtime story. You and Tara. I'm sensing a theme.

So not only did I love your question, I just loved your story.

Thank you for sharing just your experience of the faith and your perception of who God is.

And that's what I want to talk about.

I mean, we will answer your question too.

But I would love to talk about just what you shared about

Jesus and God being somewhat distant or cold because I don't think you're alone in that
