The Jess Connolly Podcast

Everything in the world tells us we have to earn our place and go to extremes to be rewarded. We live in a culture that praises "the hustle", but that is the antithesis of the gospel.  Friend, you do not have to burn out and check off all the boxes or work to extreme limits to earn your place in the Kingdom. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re doing enough for God, this episode is for you. If you already want to play devil’s advocate and say, "Well… what about??" - this episode is for you!    Let’s go.  Don’t miss:  Looking to Find Your Sabbath?
