0:00.0	Hey friends, I'm Jess Connolly. I'm an author, a coach, a Bible teacher, and a local church leader,
0:07.2	and I love talking to real people who know what it means to have full lives, but also want to walk in abundance.
0:14.8	This podcast is for you. It's not my podcast. It's ours. It's for people who crave lighthearted conversations and deeply
0:23.7	spiritual truth. It's for people who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working,
0:30.9	or praying about what's next. Wherever you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy, I am praying for you
0:39.1	and I'm so glad you're here. Let's go.
0:45.7	What is today's podcast episode about? Well, what's it not about? So it's a little bit about
0:52.7	the Barbie movie. I also really want to touch on why our
0:57.2	culture loves to fight about the role of women so much. We're going to spend a little time
1:02.7	discussing why so many of us feel like unlikely or reluctant leaders. And then we're going to
1:08.4	talk about what true leadership is or what we think it might mean.

1:17.5	Kamley podcast. This is our podcast. And guess what? Today we don't have a ton of definitive
1:23.7	answers, but we have all the space we need to be curious about what it looks like
1:28.6	for a woman of God to live fully awake to the call of leadership on her life. If you're a woman
1:35.1	listening to this, it's for you. If you're a man listening to this, we bless you and thank you
1:40.1	for coming to hear some of our thoughts. Let's go. Okay, I need to talk about the Barbie movie.
1:49.9	Listen, if you loved it, if you hated it, just hear me out. If you refuse to see it, I hear you,
1:57.4	but I want to tell you where I was at and really even set the scene for you of
2:01.7	what happened when I went to go see it. So I had heard it was amazing. I had heard there was this
2:06.6	incredible monologue by America Ferreira that I needed to hear. Even my husband sat me down and said,
2:12.7	listen, I know you're going to see the Barbie movie. I know you're going to have feelings about it. I can't wait to see it.
