Hey friends, I'm Jess Connolly. I'm an author, a coach, a Bible teacher, and a local church leader, and I love talking to real people who know what it means to have full lives, but also want to walk in abundance.

In just a second, we're going to play a beautiful audio message from her with her insight.

But first, I want to remind you that you can join the book club at the link in our show notes.

And you can also find a link there to share any and all of your thoughts with us via audio message so we can play

them on our next follow-up. Listen to this very good word from our friend.
