⁣
Sept 1, 2019 the first interview at Olive Us went LIVE. An in-person, ‘in process’ interview shared with Minnie Lee. ⁣
⁣
“𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘥𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘵!” ⁣
Then Covid happened and so did a podcast! ⁣
⁣
Now women from across screens shared their stories & volunteered to #𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝟮𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 God’s goodness & faithfulness so we could collectively be encouraged during a time of great tragedy, grief, and uncertainty. ⁣
⁣
In 2025 the first 𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗨𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁, a dream birthed during the last election year, was created to provide a safe place for Black women to rest, delight, connect, and grow. ⁣
⁣
In 2026, the podcast chapter closed & we welcomed men into the ministry. More in-person events to connect the Body to each other & to Christ. ⁣
⁣
Like the Olive Tree, the ministry continues to evolve & grow toward the direction of the ‘Son.’ One tree, many roots, interconnected for every part of the tree to flourish despite season or circumstance. ⁣
⁣
𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝟳𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗨𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆. 🎉⁣
⁣
Thanks to every prayer partner, Patreon member, vendor, Olive Us Sister, church partner, follower, and friend!⁣
⁣
Thanks be to God for our collective stories, miracles, healing, restoration, redemption, and flourishing. ⁣
⁣
It really will take ‘Olive Us’ together to see God’s Kingdom come and God’s will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. ⁣
⁣
Onward, ⁣

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.⁣
⁣
7 Seasons of Olive Us Podcast! Praise God! ⁣
