Hey friends, I'm Jess Connolly. I'm an author, a coach, a Bible teacher, and a local church leader,

and I love talking to real people who know what it means to have full lives, but also want to walk in abundance.

This podcast is for you. It's not my podcast. It's ours. It's for people who crave lighthearted conversations and deeply

spiritual truth. It's for people who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working,

or praying about what's next. Wherever you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy,

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,

and I'm so glad you're here.

Let's go.

Andy, I know why I hate change.

I think I have a better understanding of why I hate change after reading your book.

Let me rephrase that. Okay. I didn't know why I hated change after reading your book. Let me rephrase that. Okay.

I didn't know why I hated change. Oh, okay. I just knew I did. Yeah. But can you tell us why most

of us hate change? I'm like a 50-50 person. It's funny. One of those things that I have realized is I think

there are some people that

actually love it and they would call it adventure, but half the time I think the people that love

change, it's probably because they're running from something. Yeah. So you have to pay attention

to that. And then the other is usually just change means pain of some form because change in any way is going to require us to

do different things. Then there's obviously the change that's thrust upon us that we haven't asked

for. And then even the change that we choose, like, you know, I always laugh and talk about this a lot,

but it's like, oh man, we want a different body that's going to take a little bit of work, not going to the gym once, not going eat different once.

You know, you got to work through things to have a different result.

But I think that's why there's usually pain that comes with change.
