Have you ever wondered, “If I really trusted God, would I still feel this scared?” Maybe you’re worried about your children, afraid of what others might think, or hesitant to say yes to something God is asking you to do. You want to be faithful, but the fear hasn’t gone away. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I’m talking with Jess Connolly about her book, You Can’t Be Brave Until You’re Scared. This conversation met me in such a personal place. I shared how fear once led me to change my college major—...

I'm so happy to be here with you…the day before Don’t Let That Hold You Back officially releases to the world! I can’t wait for you to get it in your hands, so we can all start talking about how and why you’ve been held back and what we’re going to do about it. Honestly, this episode was basically as if Jess Connolly and I sat down for breakfast to just catch up, but turned on the microphone. So, this is your invitation to pull up a chair and join us at the table. Jess has a book coming out in October called You Can’t Be Brave Until You’re Scared so she basically fear coached me about book launch week for half of this episode. We realized as we recorded that we both are releasing our 7th trade books this year, which is wild, so we both did a little coaching for each other and I’m just so grateful for Jess’ friendship to all of us.

Words matter—and numbers can be deeply triggering, especially when it comes to how we see our bodies. Jess Connolly joins Sadie for a vulnerable, honest, and empowering conversation about body image, shame, regret, and the lies we believe about ourselves. Together, they explore how we can break these toxic patterns and walk in freedom. Jess opens up about how her body insecurities began early in life and actually intensified after she became a believer. Sadie shares her own story of disordered eating and how seemingly small, careless words fueled a painful downward spiral. Sadie and Jess talk about the confusion when they both became smaller after disordered eating — but were then praised for it. Jess then shares what she’s learned about the theology of the body which you can read more about in her book, "Breaking Free from Body Shame," or start the accompanying Bible study here: ⁠https://breakingfreefrombodyshame.com/⁠ - Learn more about your ad choices.

As Sadie puts it, Jess Connolly is your new "best friend" who is here to encourage us ALL that being a woman in 2024 is exhausting. It is! And it's easy to start wearing the "I'm tired" badge with pride — even, like Jess, thinking we're more godly because of it! — when it's probably the last thing we should be doing. Jess talks about finding herself at her publisher's office pitching a book about being tired when she was as close to complete burnout and a breakdown as she'd ever been. But through doing a deep dive on what "tired" really means — and what God meant when He said, "Come to Me all who are weary" — she discovered a wealth of knowledge about how we navigate exhaustion and WHY we're all so tired (it's not always because we need sleep!).

In our For the Love of Transitions series, we’ve been looking at and evaluating the chosen and unchosen changes so many of us experience in the various seasons of our lives. In the category of chosen changes, we have found that so many women would welcome one in their lives, and it’s to develop a positive view of our bodies. Think back to the first time you had negative perceptions of your body. Were you 13 and getting ready for the homecoming dance? Maybe you were younger—9 years old at a pool party and realizing that your body looked different from your friends—and different then didn’t seem good or unique—different always equaled bad. Pile on top of those early perceptions the barrage of images presented to us by the beauty industry who constantly hammers home the quest for perfection—and reminding us that our bodies aren’t it. We’ve become so entrenched in the values of a world that seems to celebrate the way a person looks over who the person is. With a whopping 98% of women saying they wish they could “fix” something about their body, we can’t have enough positive body conversations to turn the tide on the lies we’ve been fed and that we tell ourselves. And to bring that conversation to our podcast community this week is Jess Connolly, who is a life coach, a Bible teacher and author whose new book is called Breaking Free from Body Shame. Jess and Jen dig into the origins of our body negativity, talk about ways we can each be nicer to our own bodies, and why it’s important to resist the “perfection persona.”    * * * Thank you to our sponsors!   ABLE | Check out all that ABLE has to offer today at livefashionable.com and get 20% off sitewide, with my code, 20JEN.    Jen Hatmaker Book Club| Head to jenhatmakerbookclub.com to join in on the fun today!  Jen Hatmaker Merchandise | Visit jenhatmaker.com/shop to pick up your new favorite t-shirt or hat today.

Do you have a love-hate relationship with your body? I think a lot of us do. But we were made for more than that, friend. Far from a superficial issue, self-image is a spiritual issue because God has named our bodies good from the beginning. And, even though lots of us know that in our heads, it's a whole other thing to make it real in our bodies. Author Jess Connolly is helping us learn how to break free from the broken beliefs about our bodies that hold us back from our fullest lives. It's time to lose the frustration, disappointment, and the shame of somehow feeling both too much and never enough! Let's discover how to rename what the world has labeled as less-than and rest in God's workmanship. SHOW NOTES: 413podcast.com/147
