Summary
IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:
You can't prepare your child for the real world if you are always protecting them from the real world. Walking through hard times is the main way God wants your child to taste and see that He is good. Our kids will model what we show them more than what we say.

| 0:00.0 | When we pray these things for our kids, we want them to be leaders, we want them to be fearless, |
| 0:05.6 | we want them to be brave, we want them to be a light and a dark world, then God has to build that in |
| 0:10.8 | them. And the only way he's going to build that in them is for them to taste and see that he is good. |
| 0:16.3 | And that's only going to come through him walking them through hard times. |
| 0:28.2 | Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast where everyday women share stories of hope. |
| 0:32.7 | I'm Robin and I am here with Katie and Lindy and we are your podcast host. |
| 0:37.4 | If you are new to our podcast, we've had a lot of new listeners in the past few months really in, in 2022. And so first of all, welcome. We're thrilled that you're here. And if you're listening |
| 0:42.4 | for the first time and wondering, what is storytellers live? I'm confused because they're |
| 0:47.6 | stories, but it sounds like people are laughing in the background. What is happening? Let me tell |

| 1:16.9 | table. And we're in Birmingham, Alabama. And so this is the hub of storytellers live. They send us |
| 1:22.7 | their recordings of their stories. And then we bring them to you along with a Bible study that we have that |
| 1:29.8 | Katie has written called When God Shows Up. We like to provide content. There's a journal |
| 1:34.4 | called Discover Your Story where you can walk yourself through writing your own story. And so really |
| 1:39.9 | storytellers live is a conglomeration of all of those things where we just want to bring hope |
| 1:46.1 | and encouragement to you in your story through Jesus. And so today, this is one of the stories |
| 1:52.8 | that lies a little bit outside of that box. Occasionally, you all ask us for a topic |
