0:00.0	Hi, friends. Happy New Year. Welcome to 2025 in our first episode of the year. Thanks so much for tuning
0:11.8	into the Proverbs 31 Ministries podcast where we share biblical truth for any girl in any season.
0:17.7	I'm your host, Kaylee Olson, and soon I'll be joined by my co-host, Kendra LeGrand,
0:22.2	as well as our guest teacher for this episode, Megan Fate Marshman. And y'all, I have a lot to
0:28.0	say about how much Megan's teaching on today's episode has already meant to me. Typically,
0:33.1	we record our introductions immediately after recording the full episode with the guest,

1:18.5	But those are just my top two for you guys.

1:27.8	is what our Circle 31 Book Club will be reading starting February 1st.
1:32.5	After hearing this teaching, I'm sure it'll be a book you want to dive into.
