0:00.0	Hey friends, I'm Jess Connolly. I'm an author, a coach, a Bible teacher, and a local church leader,
0:07.0	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 spiritual truth.
0:25.1	It's for people who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working, or praying about what's next.
0:33.3	Wherever you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy, I am praying for you,
0:38.9	and I'm so glad you're here. Let's go.
0:45.7	Second Corinthians 12-9 is one of the first verses I really memorized. It got implanted in my heart,

1:42.3	wanted to give up something that matters, this episode is for you.
1:45.8	If you've ever felt defeated or discouraged to the point where you fantasize about shutting it down
1:50.8	and walking away, this episode is for you. If you want to keep going, or even if you don't,
1:58.2	this episode is for you.
2:02.5	Nick Connolly, welcome to the podcast.
2:03.2	Hi.
2:05.3	That intro almost made me cry a little bit.
2:05.7	Aw.
