Summary

Everything in the world tells us we have to earn our place and go to extremes to be rewarded. We live in a culture that praises "the hustle", but that is the antithesis of the gospel.

Friend, you do not have to burn out and check off all the boxes or work to extreme limits to earn your place in the Kingdom.

If you’ve ever wondered if you’re doing enough for God, this episode is for you. If you already want to play devil’s advocate and say, "Well… what about??" - this episode is for you!

Let’s go.

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
0:23.4	spiritual truth. It's for people who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working,
0:30.7	or praying about what's next. Wherever you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy,
0:37.3	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,
0:38.9	and I'm so glad you're here. Let's go.
0:45.0	I am convinced that the enemy of our souls often gets us distracted by having us ask the wrong
0:52.2	questions. It started in the garden when he asked Eve if God
0:56.5	really said what he said. This one question gave Eve the opportunity not only to doubt God's,
1:04.2	but also to doubt her capacity to hear from God. Through the last couple of decades, I've gotten to counsel and coach and pastor, multiple

1:17.9	And I have to tell you, I think this is the wrong question for us to be asking.
1:23.2	We come by it honest because everything in the world tells us we have to earn our place.
1:28.9	But that is the antithesis of the gospel.
1:33.0	If you've ever wondered if you're doing enough for God, this episode is for you.
1:38.0	If you already want to play devil's advocate and say, well, what about this episode is for you? Let's dig it.
1:49.9	Hey, friends, am I doing enough for God? Let's talk about this question. So I'm going to share a
1:57.0	lot of things today that I hope will speak freedom and the gospel and lightness and opportunity
2:02.8	and invitation and ambassadorship over you. I'm going to share a lot of thoughts. But I have to tell you
2:09.7	that I need to be honest with you before I ever get started. I am Jess. My name is Jess. This is our podcast, the Jess Connolly podcast, and I need you to know,
2:22.1	I often wonder if I'm doing enough for God. So I'm going to speak freedom over you and I'm going to
