Summary

Let’s start this week off with some good news. Listen to this Monday Mini podcast episode for some quick and practical encouragement to kick off your week and ground you in your calling. No matter what this upcoming week brings our way, we can start it off by centering ourselves on the good of others and the glory of God.

For this Monday, this week, this year, this life you just might need the reminder that just because it's hard, doesn't mean you're doing it wrong.

Or that you’re in the wrong spot. Or that you are a failure.

Remind yourself that everything that’s worth doing is hard and here are some prompts you can run through when it does feel really hard:

It could be hard because you need help.
It could be hard because of spiritual warfare.
It could be hard because you need rest.
It could be hard because you need a shift in how you’re doing it.
It could be hard just because it’s hard.

We’d encourage you today to keep stewarding your God-given gifts. Keep stepping out in obedience.

Continue on with this hope:

“And blessed is she who believed that what was spoken to her by the Lord would be fulfilled.” Luke 1:45

He is leading you. He will fulfill every promise He has made to you. This reminder is simple, but it's everything: keep going.

See you Thursday!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Go and Tell Gals podcast. I'm your host, Jess Connelly. I'm an author, a Bible teacher, a coach, and I'm obsessed with helping women take their place in the
0:22.5	kingdom and use their God-given gifts. I go and tell gals, we equip and encourage women with different
0:29.9	tools like our Map to More Guide, our group coaching program, Go teams, and even by training
0:35.8	other women as coaches through our licensing program.
0:39.4	Whether you're a college student, a stay-at-home mom, a small business owner, an astronaut,
0:45.3	or a veterinarian, our goal is that you lead this episode feeling more empowered to do what
0:51.4	God has called you to do. We're so glad you're here and we're on your team.
0:58.2	Let's jump into this week's episode. Welcome to one of our Monday mini podcast episodes.
1:07.6	You know how when people say, I don't know who needs to hear this, but, well, I don't know who needs to hear this,
1:16.2	except for, I'm assuming it's you, because you clicked play on this. And I'm assuming that you
1:22.4	did not click play on this episode in particular if everything is going easy all the time or if everything has
1:31.0	always gone easy for you and so here is our good word for this Monday for this week for this year
1:38.4	for this life just because it's hard right now does not mean you're doing it wrong just because it's hard right now does not mean you're doing it wrong.
1:46.6	Just because it's hard right now does not mean you're in the wrong spot.
1:52.3	Just because it's hard right now does not mean that you are somehow a failure and that it's not going to get easy. In fact, I'd encourage you
2:03.6	with this. Everything that's worth doing is hard. I don't know anything in my life that has been
2:11.6	valuable and worthwhile, that has impacted the kingdom that has been easy. There have been moments of grace.
2:21.3	There have been moments where I've experienced momentum in different areas of mission, but in
2:27.2	everything I've ever done that's been worthy of doing, there have been moments where it has felt incredibly hard.
2:36.8	And because of that, on the other side of all of those moments, there have been times where I
2:44.0	have been so grateful that I kept going even though it was difficult.
2:50.1	Here are a few different things for you to think through.
