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.
0:14.5	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. All right, if you've ever heard me or anyone else

2:00.2	All right, listen to me all skeptics. Listen to me, all rest avoiders. I was one of you. Before I wrote
2:09.2	tired of being tired, I do not mind telling you that I read every single book I could get my
2:14.2	hands on about rest. And there were some of them that I thought, wow, this sounds
2:19.4	beautiful for somebody. It's just not going to work for my life. There were some that made me
2:24.8	irate, honestly, because their suggestions were so preposterous and so undoable for me that I would
