| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, I'm Jess Connolly. I'm an author, a coach, a Bible teacher, and a local church leader, |
| 0:07.1 | and I love talking to real people who know what it means to have full lives, but also want to walk in abundance. |
| 0:14.4 | This podcast is for you. It's not my podcast. It's ours. It's for people who crave lighthearted conversations and deeply |
| 0:23.4 | spiritual truth. It's for people who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working, |
| 0:30.4 | or praying about what's next. Wherever you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy, |
| 0:38.8 | I am praying for you and I'm so glad you're here from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy, I am praying for you, |
| 0:41.5 | and I'm so glad you're here. Let's go. |
| 0:49.1 | Hey, friends, Jess here. Listen, I want to set up this episode because it is a special one. It's a double header. First, you are going to hear from my friend Jordan Lee Dooley, and we are talking about her |
| 0:55.8 | incredible new book that is going to bless your socks off. And then, as a fun added bonus, |
| 1:02.1 | we are talking to Erica Gwynn, who is the author of a new book called That's Just Not True. |
| 1:08.2 | And the fun crossover here is that Jordan LeJuly actually wrote the intro, wrote |
| 1:14.3 | the foreword for Erica's book. And so you're going to love how these interviews blend together and how |
| 1:20.5 | they both, I pray, are going to meet you exactly where you're at in this season. I hope you love this episode. |
| 1:29.3 | Friends, I am so excited to have the incredible, the gracious, the generous Jordan Lee |
| 1:36.5 | Dooley on the podcast today. Jordan, thanks so much for being here. Oh, that was such a kind |
| 1:41.1 | introduction. Thank you for having me. I'm so looking forward to chatting with you. |
| 1:44.9 | I was trying to think this morning and I was trying to remember, first of all, like, when we first met. |
| 1:52.1 | And then I was also trying to remember, have we been in person together? |
| 1:57.3 | I think we have. |
| 1:58.3 | It was a conference in like 2018 or 2019, I believe. And I think that was the only time. I feel like we've talked so much, but actually only spent like a couple hours in person. That is sounding right. Do you remember what city? Like what conference was that? Oh my gosh. I remember it was in Nashville. I think it was in Nashville. Was it that? |
| 2:18.6 | Yeah, I think Marshall Evans was there. |
| 2:20.3 | Ali Worthington was there. |
