Summary

In this episode, Nick Connolly, husband, father, pastor, and author, interviews Jess Connolly about her newest book, ‘Tired of Being Tired.’ You’ll hear raw and honest conversations about how this current season has been for Jess, as she experienced deep grief from an unexpected family loss while also experiencing great joy in seeing this book being launched into the world.

There is no better time for this book to come out, as 'Tired of Being Tired' is all about finding rest. When rhythms fail, the principles of spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional rest hold us up. The biblical truths Jess found while writing this book carried her through when she couldn’t get enough sleep or follow all the practical tips.

This is not just my podcast, it’s our podcast and we pray this episode is a blessing to you!

If you have been following me online at all, Jesse Connolly on Instagram, you know my family has been going through just a massive season of grief that we did not see coming. And so this book launch, this episode, none of it we saw coming, none of it, we perceived
