The Jess Connolly Podcast

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. In this week’s episode, we are encouraging you with extra grace if you’re feeling the Spirit tugging at your heart: How do I start over? Our gal and GATG team member, Henslee, is providing wisdom and grace in seasons of pivoting and change. We are always going to mess up and sin - that’s the truth of humanity, yet we cannot forget the grace that lives here too. Starting over doesn’t mean starting from scratch. There’s so much to learn about where we’ve been, so we can take empowered steps forward again. No matter your season, we pray we can find joy and gladness in every single day that the Lord has made and remember that His mercies are new every single morning to start over. He is mighty in you. Don’t miss: We want you to join us on March 4 for our Rally event, a one day coaching session for women who want to set goals, dream and strategize for your soul. We would love to have you with us in Charleston, so find out more details about this life-changing event and mark your calendars!

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. In this week’s episode, we are tackling a necessary question as we march on mission: How do I balance work and rest? Jess and GATG team member, Anna, sit down and strategize on how we can hold work and rest in balance with one another. This is a struggle for most women and changes each season of our lives. If we are living with a kingdom perspective, we can see that we work out of a place of rest and not the other way around; and that’s good news, friends! We are women who get to work and get to rest in the name of Jesus. Rest is not lazy and is so productive for our souls. May we prayerfully be in tune with the Holy Spirit inside of us to pay attention to our own places of fatigue, to figure out what kind of exhausted we are and to try to rest at those places to move the kingdom forward. Amen? He is mighty in you. Don’t miss: Need some extra encouragement in setting boundaries? Read Lysa TerKeurst’s new book Good Boundaries and Goodbyes for wisdom in this area of your life.

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 pausing at the beginning of the year to chat about: Ten Mistakes Women Make in the New Year. Jess and GATG team member, Caroline, sit down and highlight common mistakes Christian women tackle during this goal-setting season. While this may seem critical, we are shame off you girls. And because your year matters, we do want to highlight ten mistakes Christian women make in the new year. The glorious thing? Each day brings new mercies and we can start over right now. We do not want to live under the oppression of the lie that everything is our responsibility and that all our growth, goodness, abundance, healing, freedom and fruit in our lives is up to us. We grow when we abide on the vine. So let’s take a look at these common errors, find a trusted sister or friend, and let’s encourage each other to keep going! He is mighty in you.

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. 2023 is here, and we are wrestling with this common question: New Year, New Me: Really? Jess and GATG team member, Emily, sit down and challenge the idea of becoming new people during the new year, when our true newness comes from the blood of Jesus. We often listen to the lie from the enemy of our souls that we need to be reinvented and become more like the people around us, and friends, that’s just not true. The calendar page has turned, and we can still live into the agreements God has already spoken over our lives yesterday, today and forever. For our friends who feel they are too emotional or are not enough, who feel they don’t have their life under control or want to be able to let go more, who feel behind or going too fast - in the name of Jesus, who He made you to be is intentional and beautiful. Let’s not “New Year, New You” ourselves out of who God made us to be, the weaknesses that His power is going to be made perfect in. He is mighty in you.

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. We are inviting you to dream of 2023 (after we’ve processed the past year) in this week’s episode: How do I prepare for what’s next? Jess and GATG team member, Caroline, sit down and provide compelling invitations for the new year through thinking about: Vision - where do I want to be a year from now? What do you want the world to look like 100 years after you’re gone? Agreement - what parts of your God-given identity do you really want to step into and live out in the year to come? Rhythms - what are the daily/weekly/monthly rhythms that you want to engage in that help you agree with the God-given vision for your life? Follow Up - when are you going to ask these questions again? What are you going to do when everything doesn’t go well? We are taking a different approach to goal setting this year, and are focusing on grounding our goals in what really matters, agreeing with who God has made you to be and choosing daily/weekly/monthly rhythms that help you agree with the God-given vision for your life. If your goals fall short or you fall out of rhythm, remember that grace lies in abundance there too. While January 1 is a time to dream big, it’s not the only fresh start we get as women on mission - the Lord’s mercy is new every morning. This is good news. We’re free to follow up, keep going and try again. Come along on this new journey with us by downloading the Four Invitations in PDF to help guide your preparation before January gets here. Let’s get to writing, goal setting and dreaming of all God is going to do in 2023. He is mighty in you. Don’t miss: As we enter the new year, download this helpful PDF that walks you through our Four Invitations for Preparing for What’s Next in 2023. Let’s go!

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. In this episode, before we start dreaming and writing goals for the upcoming new year, we are taking a step back to reflect on 2022: How do I process this past year? Jess and GATG team member, Anna, sit down and unpack the hills and valleys of the past year using the prompts: Count the fruit - thanking God for what He did this year What didn’t work this year? What didn’t go as you hoped or planned? What did work and why? What can you change? What can’t you change? Whether it's in conversation with a loved one or through prayerfully writing it all down in a journal, we encourage you to take time to reflect on everything God orchestrated this past year. Some of these questions are more lighthearted than others, but we believe it’s important to look back and see where we’ve been before goal setting for the year to come. Let’s look back and see the ways God moved over the last months. Let’s ask the hard questions and share in the struggles, the triumphs and the victories from this past year. Let’s celebrate where we’ve been so we can pray and dream about where we’re going. He is mighty in you. Don’t miss: Bummed you weren’t able to come to our Recover event this past September?

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! The holiday season is almost here, so today, we are talking to each of our GATG team members about what giving and receiving will look like this Christmas. These questions include: What is the most meaningful gift you’ve received? What are some gifts you’re excited to give this year? What gifts are you hoping to receive this year? We want to be intentional this gift giving time of the year. It’s sometimes more than the physical gift we give - these presents can bring encouragement, value and abundance to those who receive. This holiday season, let’s give gifts that prophetically speak encouragement, life and hope over the people we love most. Need some help with coming up with what the woman on mission in your life needs this holiday season? Check out our gift guide for some beloved suggestions? Not sure what you’d like for Christmas? This guide can help you there too! He is mighty in you. Don’t miss: Trying to decide what to get for your woman on mission this holiday season?

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. This episode, we are unpacking what holding relationship and mission together looks like: Is mission going to ruin my marriage? Jess and her husband, Nick Connolly, pastor of Bright City Church, sit down and give us a behind-the-scenes look at different seasons of their marriage and how it affected their mission along the way. Maybe you’re asking, what do we do if my spouse and I feel called to different God-given missions? Or what if my spouse doesn’t agree with or understand what I’m called to? There’s a lot to unpack in this episode and Jess and Nick use their wisdom and experience to help answer these questions. All in all, Jess and Nick believe being in a mission-minded marriage makes life better, but often what is better begins as something difficult and takes pruning. Anytime you’re leaning into the mission of God, there will be resistance. Marriage is beautiful. Your God-given mission is beautiful. God didn’t give you both to be in competition with each other, so may we find our base in our relationships and build from there together. Amen? We pray that you feel encouraged and blessed as you listen to this week’s episode. He is mighty in you.

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! In this “Gratitude” episode, we are talking to each of our GATG team members about what they’re thankful for and about gratitude practices they engage in. These questions include: What does your gratitude practice look like? What does it look like to practice your gratitude out loud? What are you thankful for this year? We are taking back November as a chance to move the Kingdom forward through proclaiming aloud where we see God at work in our lives and counting the fruit of the blessings. For us as kingdom women, this is more than just listing a few things that we are happy about, it’s a practice in spiritual warfare, proclaiming the victories found in Jesus. Wanting to practice gratitude? Listen along for some ways our team members daily reflect on the goodness of God. Let’s slow down together and look out for the miracles of the Lord. Amen? He is mighty in you. Don’t miss: Join us this month on social media using the hashtag #fightforthankful to share how God is moving in your life each day of November.

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. This episode, we are demystifying mentorship through a seemingly simple question: How do I find a mentor? Jess and GATG team member, Caroline, sit down and break down the differences between discipleship, counseling, coaching and mentorship, and the value of the wisdom surrounding us through other women. Whether you’ve been seeking a formal mentorship relationship or not, this episode strengthens our relationship with other women we hold closely. Each woman on mission has some kind of expertise, wisdom or insight in specific areas that you can humbly learn from, no matter your season of life. In these relationships, find the places where you can be honest without buttoning up your life because we are looking to surround ourselves with women whose life leads you more in awe of God, not in awe of them. Formal or not, mentorship is just women walking each other home in the name of Jesus. Let’s keep going. He is mighty in you. Don’t miss: If the idea of mentorship makes you feel a sense of imposter syndrome, relisten to this podcast episode about breaking free from those expectations. You are not an imposter.
