| 0:00.0 | As I was thinking about heaven and thinking about, is this the day I'm called home, I remember almost feeling a sense of heaven, right? |
| 0:10.4 | It's like I had a glimpse of heaven. |
| 0:12.5 | And what I felt and saw in that moment was so peaceful. |
| 0:16.7 | It was something it's even hard for me now to put into words. |
| 0:20.2 | It was so warm and so peaceful, and I felt so just cared for in that specific moment. |
| 0:27.4 | Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast, where everyday women are gathering in homes across the country to share stories of the hope found in Jesus. |
| 0:35.8 | I'm Katie Dyn. |
| 0:36.8 | I'm Robin Cowen. And I'm Lindy Walker, and we are your podcast host. Happy Wednesday, everybody. We're back with another story this week. If you weren't able to listen to Monday's story, you need to go back and listen to it. Lindsay Wells was an incredible story to listen to, but we're excited to bring you another story today. Before we get |
| 0:54.2 | to that, you know, there's one thing you might not know about storytellers. Back in January of |
| 0:58.3 | this year, we launched speaking engagements. Lindy and I have just had the privilege to be able to visit |
| 1:02.8 | so many different women's ministries all over really the southeast. We've gone to Mississippi, |
| 1:07.9 | to Tennessee, to Florida, to Georgia here in Alabama as well. And so if you are interested in having us come to speak at your church, we'd love to speak about the power of story, not only in scripture, but finding him in the details of our lives. You guys know that we have that workshop as well, finding out in the details. But we also offer other topics as well. So go on our website and check that out. StorytellersLive.org. |
| 1:29.1 | We would love to come visit you and partner with your church. |
| 1:32.2 | Yes. And as someone who has witnessed some of these, y'all, they're great. You want them to come to your church. |
| 1:38.1 | You will learn a lot. It's a lot of fun. We do have a lot of fun. And I'm so excited today because we have a podcast review from Sage in Frisco, Texas. And she just writes, I wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for the incredible work you're doing with the Storytellers Live podcast. I have to say that your stories have had such a profound impact on me. The way each story is shared with |
| 2:01.4 | raw honesty and vulnerability truly resonates with my heart. What I love most is the sense |
| 2:06.9 | of community that shines through every episode. It's more than just listening to inspiring |
| 2:11.1 | stories. It feels like being a part of a larger, loving family. Your podcast has opened my eyes |
| 2:16.8 | to the power of storytelling and the |
| 2:18.4 | connections it creates. It's a reminder that no matter where we are, we all share a love for |
| 2:24.0 | Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. So thank you so much for giving of yourselves and |
| 2:28.8 | cultivating a space where people can truly feel seen, heard, and inspired. |
