Welcome to April on the GATG podcast! This month, we’re centering our conversations around being in the world and evangelism. We’re kicking things off with a fun conversation between Jess and Anna, Director of GATG, about Christian clichés.
This episode is both funny and insightful, going behind the scenes of commonly used Christian clichés. We give our candid opinion and share potential biblical meaning of phrases like:

 Doing life together
 Everything happens for a reason
  Fearless leader
  God won’t give you more than you can handle
  Getting ahead of God
  Choose joy
  I feel stuck

We hope this episode makes you laugh, but more than that, makes you think a little bit deeper about the words we use everyday. Think we missed some? Share the Christian clichés you hear often with us!

In this episode, Nick Connolly, husband, father, pastor, and author, interviews Jess Connolly about her newest book, ‘Tired of Being Tired.’ You’ll hear raw and honest conversations about how this current season has been for Jess, as she experienced deep grief from an unexpected family loss while also experiencing great joy in seeing this book being launched into the world.


There is no better time for this book to come out, as 'Tired of Being Tired' is all about finding rest. When rhythms fail, the principles of spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional rest hold us up. The biblical truths Jess found while writing this book carried her through when she couldn’t get enough sleep or follow all the practical tips. 


This is not just my podcast, it’s our podcast and we pray this episode is a blessing to you!

Episode 35: We Didn't See This Coming

If you like the idea of rest, if you're tired of being tired, if you're ready to stop living exhausted, this episode is for you. But what in the world do you do about your community? What do you do about your spouse who has a different schedule than you? How do you handle rest if you’re an overwhelmed caregiver of small kids? These questions are ones that Jess gets asked all of the time. So, let’s talk about it! 
This episode is all about community and rest and how we can have both, together. God has placed us where we are on purpose. And what if all of that was so compelling that it started a wave in our communities?
One woman willing to rest changes her life. A group of women resting changes the world. Let’s go.

Episode 33: For All the Women Who Cannot Rest

Everything in the world tells us we have to earn our place and go to extremes to be rewarded. We live in a culture that praises "the hustle", but that is the antithesis of the gospel. 


Friend, you do not have to burn out and check off all the boxes or work to extreme limits to earn your place in the Kingdom.

Episode 32: Am I Doing Enough for God?

If your brain feels fried or you’re lacking mental clarity and peace, this episode is for you. And - you’re not in the minority, sadly, most of us feel this way.  All of our brains are overstimulated. The default setting for women in our current culture is overwhelmed, but that doesn’t have to continue to be our reality. We don’t have to keep consenting to live distracted, confused, and mentally exhausted. 
This podcast is for you. It’s not my podcast, it’s ours. It’s for people who crave light-hearted conversations and deeply spiritual truths. It’s for those of us who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working, or praying about what’s next.
Let’s Go.
