| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, I'm Jess Connolly. I'm an author, a coach, a Bible teacher, and a local church leader, |
| 0:07.1 | and I love talking to real people who know what it means to have full lives, but also want to walk in abundance. |
| 0:14.5 | 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. Let's go. |
| 0:45.5 | Dr. Sandra Dalton Smith, thank you so much for being on the podcast. |
| 0:49.6 | It is my pleasure. I'm so grateful you're here. I have wanted to talk to you for now a couple of years |

| 1:28.7 | me talk about book writing processes, and I always love to hear the behind the scenes, like, |

| 1:42.0 | the next thing you want to talk about. |
| 1:47.2 | And I wrote some other books, another book in between there. |
| 1:48.3 | But you know what? |
| 1:50.3 | It's just something that's really on my heart. And it's hard to get away a topic that just so consumes you. |
| 1:55.0 | It's like I see God in all aspects of rest. |
| 1:58.2 | And so I just started noticing that I was finding a lot of people who had |
| 2:02.1 | kind of next step questions. Yeah. So it's like, okay, now that I know the seven types of rest, |
| 2:06.9 | and I've taken the rest quiz, and I know which of the seven I need, a lot of people were like, |
