Summary

If you like the idea of rest, if you're tired of being tired, if you're ready to stop living exhausted, this episode is for you. But what in the world do you do about your community? What do you do about your spouse who has a different schedule than you? How do you handle rest if you’re an overwhelmed caregiver of small kids? These questions are ones that Jess gets asked all of the time. So, let’s talk about it!

This episode is all about community and rest and how we can have both, together. God has placed us where we are on purpose. And what if all of that was so compelling that it started a wave in our communities?

One woman willing to rest changes her life. A group of women resting changes the world. 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,
0:30.4	or praying about what's next. Wherever you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy,
0:38.8	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,
0:41.7	and I'm so glad you're here. Let's go.
0:50.2	Hello, friends, it is Jess's team here. Don't worry, you are still definitely in the right place,
0:54.6	and we are so glad that you're here. We are just popping in here before we get to the heart of today's episode to share a quick behind the scenes of what is going on in our world and to ask for
0:59.5	your help specifically. If you're listening to this on release day, Jess's newest book,
1:04.7	Tired of Being Tired, launches into the world tomorrow on April 9th. We had initially scheduled
1:09.9	a dedicated Tired of of being tired podcast interview and
1:12.9	book club episode to go live today.
1:15.5	However, Jess is not able to show up as she had planned to this week.
1:19.7	She's stepping offline to be with her family and will share about it with you when she's
1:23.3	able to.
1:24.4	But as God would have it, we recorded this episode early without knowing what all was in
1:29.1	store. It's all about community and rest, and we couldn't think of a more fitting episode to
1:33.8	release today instead, because right now we're practicing what we preach by Jess allowing us,
1:39.3	her community, to step in when she needs it most. So friends, we're asking every set of ears listening today,
1:45.9	will you rally with us and help us launch tired of being tired with victory?
1:50.3	Will you share this episode in this book with your community?
