Summary

Join us for our very first Monday Mini podcast episode. Basically, we just want to provide some good news for your Monday, to kick off your week with something that is both life-giving and also practically helps you live out your calling. No matter what this upcoming week brings our way, we can start it off centering ourselves on the good of others and the glory of God.

You are known by God. Isn’t it funny how people say, “God only knows” or, “Lord knows” when they don’t actually know the definite answers to something? But, truly - God really does know.

Everyone wants to know God, but what if we take the time this week to be known by God? Let's turn to Psalm 139. God knows how weak you feel and He called you anyhow. God knows what you need before you do. God knows the mistakes you’ll make and He still appointed you. He knows the end of this story. He knows your thoughts and fears, you don’t have to hide them in shame.

You are known by God and that is grace.
You are known by God and that is friendship.
You are known by God and acknowledging that leads to power.

How would you live this week, your life, differently if you acknowledged that you’re known by God? You're known, seen, loved, and held. How does that change the way you go and tell?

We're praying over your week, and we believe that God is mighty in you. We'll 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.
1:02.5	Good morning, go and tell gals. This is Jess, and this is our first Monday encouragement podcast.
1:10.8	We're going to start popping in with these Monday morning
1:14.1	podcasts that hopefully encourage you and are life-giving to listen to, but also give you some short
1:21.6	practical help for you to live out your calling. In today's podcast, we want to encourage you with the very good news that you are known
1:32.4	by God.
1:35.1	You are known by God.
1:38.8	Isn't it funny how when we're talking about something we don't know or not sure about, we'll say,
1:45.7	God knows or God only knows or Lord knows.
1:49.2	When we don't know something, we acknowledge like God does, though.
1:53.3	The thing is, it's funny, but God actually really does know, and he actually does know us. As believers, there is a pursuit that is kind of constantly
2:07.6	on the table for us to know God, for us to know more about God, for us to understand him,
2:14.0	understand his heart, his hand, his ways. And I get that. And it's beautiful and it's a lovely
2:20.1	pursuit. But I wonder if sometimes we're not so obsessed with knowing God that we don't understand
2:28.9	the power and the practicality in being known by God. One of my favorite passages about being known by God is from
