Celebrating All Moms with Deb Hopper | Episode 181
Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to join in on conversations you’re already having. As May begins, we are talking about an important relationship in our lives - Celebrating All Moms. Jess and her mom, Deb Hopper, are speaking on honoring all of our moms, advice for mothers in the thick of it and navigating adult children relationships.
All mothers deserve a place of honor for what they've done in our lives, whether or not they have been spiritually guiding you along the way. We should provide honor and grace for bringing us into this world, and the impact moms have on our lives.
If you are a woman, there is no part of kingdom motherhood that’s off limits to you. You get to lead, you get to care, you get to shepherd, you get to be on their team.
He is mighty in you.

Women of the Resurrection | Episode 177
Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to join in on conversations you’re already having. In this week’s episode, we are centering around Holy Week, and what we can learn from the Women of the Resurrection. Jess is inviting us to take advantage of this season and our proximity to Jesus to lean in as we lead up to Resurrection Sunday.
Throughout the Gospels, we see the women of the resurrection feeling, communing, resting and testifying to what Jesus has done. As women on mission, we have access to the same encouragement and blessings that they did then, in Jesus’ name.
Make time to feel this week. Make time to commune with others this week. Make time to rest in the name of Jesus this week. Make time to testify, to go and tell. Because this is who you were made to be. Let’s go!
He is mighty in you.

How to Hear From God | Episode 175
Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to join in on conversations you’re already having. In this week’s episode, we are providing some insight and encouragement about How to Hear From God. Jess and GATG team member, Caroline, are undoing, unwriting and untying lies placed on women when it comes to this topic.
Desiring to hear from God is a beautiful thing, and we believe that all women hear from God in one way or another. This episode provides a wide view of ways we can hear from God and how we can check if what we’re hearing is actually from Him.
As we grow in practice of hearing from God, remember this - even if we hear from Him wrong, that’s okay. God will still love us and talk to us, even if we don’t take every step exactly right. There’s freedom in this truth.
He is mighty in you.

In this week’s episode, we are providing some helpful tips centered around Community and Your Calling. Jess and GATG team member, Anna, bring the importance of doing life together while on mission to the forefront in practical ways.
Walking boldly in your calling does not mean isolation; we were never made to do mission alone. We are niching down into real community to both go and grow in relationships as we pursue our callings through these five tips.
We pray this episode encourages you to remember in community that people are messy and they sin - same with you. There’s grace and empowerment in living our lives with others while following your calling in Jesus.
