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

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 are finally back on the Go and Tell Gals podcast.

We are so thankful to be back with an episode after a short break.

We had the motherhood admission series in May.

An episode launched every day, the week before Mother's Day. And so a few weeks after that, we just took a few weeks off to let our brains rest and to come up with some fresh content for the summer. So we're really, really, really excited about what we've got ahead for the summer, what we've got planned and what we're going to be sharing with you via the podcast. Here's the first thing.

You may have heard this already on a previous episode. You may have seen it on social media or this

may be fresh news to you. For this summer, we're starting a little podcast online book club.

And we are going to read three different books from three different authors. All the books are

loosely centered around a theme being present, really, and about appreciating the present

and learning from it. But you might find your own themes in the three books that we read.

The first one we are reading together is Come Matter Here by Hannah Brincher. The second one we're reading is,

it's not supposed to be this way by Lisa Terkirsk. And the third book we'll be reading in August

is Here Now by Kate Merrick. So for each of those months, I'm obviously reading the book. I've been reading those books

and I'm drawing things out from them that I want to find. And I'll do one episode where I just

talk about what I've learned about the book and what I've heard from you guys. And then we'll

have an episode with the author of each book. An interview with her, we'll talk about what she learned writing it,

what she's still learning about it, maybe anything that's shifted in her heart and her mind

since writing it. And then we'll also have one episode each month that's just pure teaching

from me. And those will actually be preview contents from my new book that comes out in September.
