2 Corinthians 1 verse 4 God comes alongside us when we go through hard times and before you know it

he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that

person just as God was there for us he never promised easy i say I say it all the time. He never said this life was

easy. He said, you will have troubles. He said he'd be with us. Welcome to the Storytellers Live

podcast, where everyday women share stories of hope found in Jesus. I'm Robin, and I am here with

Lindy and Katie and we are your podcast host. And this month on all of our

podcast episodes in January, we've been telling you a little bit about all the different facets

of storytellers' life that we've been telling you about the podcast. We've told you about the Bible

studies. And today I want to tell you a little bit about our communities and what happens.

Storytellers actually started

five years ago in my done with the idea of women sharing stories to bring vulnerability

and break down walls and build community and share the hope of Jesus. And that idea really

has taken off and we're now in 12 cities.

You hear each week on the podcast, these stories that we share come from our live gatherings.

We are from Texas to Montana to Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, all around.

And we even have three new communities that we're bringing you this spring.

So you'll hear one more community in Birmingham, which is Trustful, Alabama.

You'll hear from Oxford, Mississippi.

And you'll hear from Fairhope, Alabama, which is right by Mobile.

And so we love bringing on new communities largely because God then breaks down walls and builds community and cities.

And that's the heart of what we do.

And he brings hope, hope through stories.
