Hey friends. You're listening to the Go and Tell Girls podcast, and I'm your host, Jess Conlin.

In most of our episodes, we'll have a guest, a woman who is

running on mission right where she's at. We pray this podcast leaves you encouraged and spurred

on to go and tell the good news. Friends, we have such a treat today. One of my favorite podcasters, one of my favorite authors,

some pretty good habits in place in your life that you can sort of lean back on when times get
