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.
0:14.6	This podcast is for you. It's not my podcast. It's ours. It's for people who crave lighthearted conversations and deeply
0:23.6	spiritual truth. It's for people who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working,
0:30.6	or praying about what's next. Wherever you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy,
0:39.0	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,

1:42.5	Hey friends, the core of this episode is I'm going to share four questions that I think are
1:47.7	really helpful to use in a discipleship relationship. But before I get to those four questions,
1:53.8	I want to talk a little bit about the difference between mentoring and discipleship and coaching
1:59.1	and pastoring and leadership.
2:01.4	And I want to just highlight at the beginning that I'm sharing all of my kind of loose
