Thanks for listening to Season 1, Episode 3 of The After Dinner Mint, a podcast of Stories I’d Tell You at Dinner. Thanks for sharing your day with us!

We are interviewing all of our regular contributors in Season 1 of the podcast. Today’s guest is Amy Stopher.

In today’s episode, we explore:

  • The joys of gardening and sneaky walks with secateurs.
  • Reading the Bible and doing life with other women and how to get this happening in your life, without being weird
  • Amy’s experiences with burnout in ministry, what she learned about God, and what helped her heal.

About Amy:

Amy grew up by the beach, the third of four sisters, and first learned the gospel from her parents. She taught high school students Politics and English, before studying Theology at Trinity Theological College in Perth, WA. Now Amy serves on the ministry team at Providence City, and delights in seeing women grow in their confidence to teach God’s word. Amy loves gardening, cooking for people and eating with them, and early mornings at the beach. She lives with her dog, Billie. You can find more of her work on Substack.
