Summary

My guest for The Happy Hour # 304 is Jill Dobrowansky. Jill uses her gift of conversation to host the Feed Your Spirit Podcast -- a space where she talks to friends about how God has brought them through difficult seasons and what they learned about God during and after this time. She and her husband Eric eside in New Jersey – where during the summer months, you can find her on the beach with a book in her hands or out for a nice long run. You guys, getting to talk with Jill was SO encouraging! In today’s episode, Jill and I talk about her experience with the Your Story Matters study and how she created the Facebook page, Our Story Matters, to further connect women in the YSM study. Jill shares so vulnerably with us about her own story of her years of running from God and finding herself pregnant at 19. Then, how God showed His love and grace to her by placing steadfast people in her life to care for her deeply. We also got to talk about leading a study like Your Story Matters and how important it is to care for people’s stories well by being an active listener and stepping into difficult or emotional places with them. Jill reminds us that while the enemy might be good at making us feel shameful, God does not judge us. What a gift that reminder is! Friends, I hope today’s episode is as refreshing for you as it is for me! If you’re interested in learning more about Your Story Matters, be sure to go to Jamieivey.com/YourStoryMatters.

0:00.0	Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour with Jamie, Ivey podcast. I'm your host Jamie and I'm
0:04.8	so glad you're here. Each week on this show, I invite a girlfriend to join me and we chat about
0:09.2	the big things in life, the little things in life, and everything in between.
0:22.9	Hey friends, I am so excited about our conversation today. You know, when we launched my Bible
0:28.6	study called Your Story Matters back in April, we had no idea that it would happen and release
0:34.4	during a pandemic in a stay at home quarantine. So, and I'll honestly at first, I was thinking,
0:40.0	this might not be the best time for women to do this study because we can't be in each other's
0:44.8	homes. Well, I was wrong you guys and today, my guest, Jill Dobrowonsky, shares just how impactful
0:53.0	the Your Story Matters Bible study was in her life and not just that, but how she started a
0:59.1	community online for women who were doing the study alone so that they could meet together
1:04.6	over Zoom. You guys, I loved this so much. Jill and I talk about the fear and shame that held her
1:11.5	back from sharing her story for over two decades and how God has shown her that when we share our
1:17.8	stories that we invite others to do the same and through that, God builds our faith and our hope
1:23.8	when we do this. Our Your Story Matters virtual study has done more in women's life than I could
1:29.4	ever imagine that it would. I am so honored and so blown away at the way that God is using
1:34.9	real life women's stories to encourage other women to believe the truth over the lies that we
1:40.6	often believe when it comes to sharing our story. The study is available all the time for purchase
1:45.3	and you can go through the study anytime that works for your life. This Friday, we're launching
1:50.0	a second round of the Facebook community for Your Story Matters. We wanted to give you another
1:54.7	opportunity to join together with other women who are also craving community. I think you will
1:59.8	especially be encouraged to join after today's conversation with Jill. There's just so much available
2:04.9	to us when we take a small step toward believing that our stories do actually matter. Join the
