Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast where everyday people share real and personal stories.

Some are profound and challenging, while others are more common and relatable shared with honesty and

humor. But all of these stories reveal what God can do in our lives when we trust him with

the details. Thanks for joining us. Hi, everyone. Welcome back to Storytellers Live. We are excited to be launching our third season of this podcast. I'm your host, Kelly, from the Storytellers Live team. And if you follow us on Instagram, it's at Storytellers Live podcast, then you know that our birthday is right around the corner.

We can hardly believe that we are turning to and that we are going into the third season of the podcast.

And we would love for you to help us celebrate by sharing the podcast with friends, subscribing or writing a review.

Also, to help celebrate our birthday, we are selling our first t-shirt.

And you can pre-order these through September 9th on Instagram, or if you visit our website,

which is storytellerslive.org, you can go to the merchandise store and place your order.

If you are listening to storytellers for the very first time, we're so grateful that you've

chosen to spend your time with us, and on each episode, you will hear a different

woman share her story of God's transforming love.

And these stories are recorded in a live setting at weekly local gatherings, where we're

aiming to build community through sharing, connecting, and encouraging one another.

And most importantly, these stories reveal the faithfulness of God and how he can take

what's ordinary or broken and exchange it for extraordinary and redeemed.

Today, as we kick off our fall season of storytellers, we are excited for you to hear the

story of Nancy, a self-proclaimed prodigal mom.

Nancy spoke recently at the launch of our Memphis affiliate, and I think you'll find her story

to be full of pearls of wisdom, which she also shares with humor and a lot of laughter.

Here's Nancy.

My main things you pray, I won't cry because I have mascara on and I'll ever wear mascara.
