Notes and Quotes: 

• In the very first recording, within three minutes, Eryn and Elisa had pulled each others’ chairs across the divider so they could sit right next to each other.—Daniel Ryan Day
• I had to fight against the idea that I didn’t have purpose unless I was a wife and mother. But that’s something I appreciated about God Hears Her.—hosts from different generations and guests from all sorts of backgrounds.—Mary Jo Clark
• Sometimes we have to be the community we want to find. – Daniel Ryan Dan
• Sometimes the best way to create community is to ask people for help.—Elisa Morgan
• More like creative followership than leading—the Lord has brought the team here to lead. It’s more asking God to help me to be open-minded and trusting that God is behind the scenes. It’s mutual respect for each other—coleading.—Daniel Ryan Day
• I didn’t like podcasts before becoming a producer for a podcast.—Jade Gustafson
• The day before Our Daily Bread Ministries contacted me about this podcast, I had a pastor tell me that I should not have a microphone due to me going through divorce. It devastated me. What I learned is that God always has the final say.—Eryn Eddy  
• We’ve been on the other side of life change with about seventy people. Every story impacted me.—Eryn Eddy
• What do you do in relationships that are difficult for you? Stay with the difficulty. Stay with the discomfort. Stay with the love.— Elisa Morgan
• As producers, we do research about all these people and we prepare questions, and then we get into the conversion, and it’s always so unexpected. Like with Ellie Holcomb—so authentic and real about her story and her pain. None of that was planned.—Jade Gustafson
• That underlines why it’s called God Hears Her. He just takes it. People probably don’t realize that it’s not planned. It’s just a conversation that unfolds. I hope that convinces you that God hears you.—Elisa Morgan
• We think we want control. But then we find out God’s ways really are better than our ways. Even when life doesn’t seem to be looking like it’s better.—Daniel Ryan Day
• It’s gorgeous how each one of us had been told something that the enemy wanted us to believe and then God Hears Her is the birthplace of God saying, “No, I hear you, I see you. You are loved. I have a different plan, and I’m going to transform you with the guests that I bring on the show.”—Eryn Eddy
