    Hey, Back Porchers. I want to enthusiastically invite you to join us at the Kerygma Summit. It's happening just in a few weeks, right here in middle Tennessee. It's April 30th through May 2nd. It's like a Bible boot camp. It's for women who wanna dive deeper into God's Word with each other in a really authentic community. Um, you can find out more details at kerygmasummit.com or on my socials. It will not be the same without you. Now, before we dive in, we want you to know that we delved into some sensitive subject matter today, so be aware of that before you listen to the rest of this episode. This is one that I would encourage you to make sure the littles aren't listening. We are so glad you're hanging out with us today.

    Because every moment of every day, we do have the audience of a king. Every moment of every day, we make the choice.

    Yeah.

    And s- because we can't see Him- Yeah ... but to know the King of all Kings is going, "Good job, honey. Good job. I really appreciate that." I, I love that every moment- Yeah ... really is a for such a time as this moment.
