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 centering ourselves on the good of others and the glory of God.

Here’s the deal, right off the bat: your weakness is not a liability.

How can we know? Let’s turn to 2 Corinthians 12:9.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

Here are some questions to ask when you feel tempted to hide or discount your weaknesses:

Is this a kingdom weakness or a cultural weakness?
What is God building in you through this weakness?
Is there a big picture, and how can you trust in that?

Owning your weaknesses takes power away from the enemy and gives it to God.

Confessing your weaknesses brings the refreshment that many of us are desperate for.

Refusing to apologize for kingdom strengths that may be cultural weaknesses helps you – and every woman around you.

Wherever you feel weak right now, God is not surprised or taken aback.

God is mighty in you and your weaknesses are not a liability. 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

0:58.2	Let's jump into this week's episode. Hey, gals, you are listening to the Go and Tell Gals podcast.
1:05.3	This is Jess, and this is one of our Monday morning mini coaching sessions.
1:12.4	Here's the deal.
1:16.8	Your weakness is not a liability.
1:20.1	Your weakness is not a liability.
1:32.3	You guys, I have this one horrible memory that unfortunately lives rent-free in my mind. It was in my early 20s, and honestly, my husband and I were going through a horrific time. We were struggling financially. We were
1:38.1	trying really hard to get back on our feet, but we were just struggling, and we were also
1:43.2	pregnant with our first child. And we just
1:45.8	really weren't sure which way was up. The world was turning really fast. Everything was changing
1:50.7	really fast, and we're having a hard time regrouping. And it was made a little bit more difficult
1:57.0	in that a lot of people around us seem to have life figured out. They either had really
2:02.8	steady jobs or they were really established in their careers or they already had a bunch of kids
2:08.7	and felt like really competent parents. And so we were just kind of flailing and finding our way
2:13.7	and struggling. And in the middle of that season, we happened to go to a small group,
