| 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. |
| 0:14.4 | 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 from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy, I am praying for you, |
| 0:47.6 | and I'm so glad you're here. Let's go. Have you ever stopped and wondered, was that the voice of God or was that just me? Today, I'm sharing about how I hear from God, what I've learned about |

| 1:18.7 | about what comes next, my book that comes out on September 23rd. |
| 1:27.2 | Okay, friends, let's talk about hearing from God in real life. |
| 1:32.6 | First of all, I want to tell you this interesting story that just happened to me. |
| 1:36.9 | So my husband and I just got back from 10 days in Portugal. |
| 1:41.0 | We love Portugal. |
| 1:42.3 | This was our third summer spending a little bit of time there. |
| 1:45.1 | I can't describe why we love it so much. When people ask us like, hey, why do you guys keep going |
| 1:49.0 | there? I don't know. We just really like it. It feels really beautiful and accessible and it's |
| 1:54.9 | clean and it's inexpensive and it's city life, but it's culture. It's just we like it a lot. So we basically store up all of our |
| 2:04.1 | credit card points throughout the year and use those to book our flights and to get a hotel there. |
