⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Since 2019, Olive Us has held space for women to share their in-process stories of God's goodness and faithfulness.⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣Different Women.⁣⁣⁣⁣

Different Backgrounds.⁣⁣⁣⁣

Different Socioeconomics.⁣⁣⁣⁣

Different Denominations.⁣⁣⁣⁣

Different Ethnicities.⁣⁣⁣⁣

Same God.⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣Our kinship in Christ makes us a NEW FAMILY.⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣The podcast was our beginning, but the mission & heart remain.⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣Different people coming together for the glory of the Lord & the building up of the Body of Christ.⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣We turn the page and close the chapter on the Podcast portion of Olive Us, but the ministry remains.⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣Hear from Praise Santos McKenna, one of the women who helped bring Olive Us alive, and Minnie Lee, our very first interviewee.⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣Thank you to EVERY OLIVE US SISTER who said, "YES" to sharing their in-process story of God's goodness & faithfulness.⁣⁣⁣⁣
