Summary

When we ended this interview, we already could not wait to share this episode with you. If you are tired and weary today, this episode is a soft place to land. We’re sitting down with our friend Ruth Chou Simons, and we know that she will speak life into you today.

Ruth is a wife and a mom to 6 boys. She is also an author, an artist, an entrepreneur, a speaker, and the founder of GraceLaced. In this conversation, we’re talking all about grace and how it is so much more than we tend to believe. We’re talking about mission, the power of telling your story, and even a bit about being an Asian American woman in America today. Oh, and we’re also talking all about Ruth’s upcoming book, When Strivings Cease: Replacing the Gospel of Self-Improvement, which is available for preorder now. We are wildly encouraged by this conversation, and we are incredibly grateful for Ruth’s voice and her wisdom.

Listen in. And if this episode encourages and equips you today, we would love to hear it - be sure to tag us on social media as you share how you’re listening.

Ps - Jess’s new book, Breaking Free from Body Shame, is available NOW wherever books are sold, and the GATG Shop is fully stocked with the Breaking Free from Body Shame collection. For you, our listeners, if you leave us a review between now and the end of June 2021, you’ll have the opportunity to win some of this incredible merch. Once you fill out your review, head to this link to let us know + get entered. Thanks, gal!
