Leviticus isn't the go-to book in your average Bible study, but does that mean there isn't something there for you? In this episode, Jess interviews her friend Jennings, a long-term missionary with YWAM Honolulu, about this very idea. In Jenn's own life she took Leviticus for granted until she began to deeply study it and found so many connections to Jesus! And that's the point of Scripture, to connect us to Jesus!

We broke this episode up into two parts because the content was so good (and so deep)!! While you're waiting for the next episode, you can follow along with Jennings and the entire team at YWAM Honolulu on social media!

In the rest of Jess' conversation with Manney, they cover everything from the beginning of Manney's business journey, how her church helped her recognize her gifting and encouraged her to build a business, and how burnout helped her stop and reevaluate how she wanted to prioritize her time! And if you're only going to read the description, take Manney's closing words of encouraging us to pray and be in the Word with you! It might be cliche, but prayer really works, so pray about everything and find a community of people who do the same!

If you needed a conversation that encourages you to lean into the community God has given you, to embrace your giftings, and to trust Him even when it seems hard, this conversation is for you! Manney and Jess became friends through Instagram several years ago, and it was a joy to have her on the podcast talking about her upbringing, what her church life is like, and how God called her to step into the life of an entrepreneur! It was such a good conversation that we had to split it into two parts, so make sure you come back next week for part 2!

Have you ever found yourself in a season of life where you just need to know God's love? Jess has been there, and in it she realized she wasn't sure that she grasped God's love at all! In this episode, Jess discusses how reading the Old Testament helped her put words to the fact that she didn't fully comprehend the love we receive from our Father. It is an honest look at her own experience as a believer, and hopefully an encouragement to you!

Have you ever felt like you didn't want to go where God was taking you? Or maybe you'd begun to sense His call and just weren't sure you could answer? Nykola has been exactly where you have—meet one of the sweetest souls on this earth, and someone I met while serving with YWAM!

We chat about how she came to faith and what life has looked like since that time. Her heart for others and to hear the Lord led her to Argentina recently, a place she really had no desire to go. Not because it was bad, she just didn't want to! This conversation will leave you encouraged and challenged to lean into the still small nudges the Lord places in your life.

Jess is back after a loooong break to try and collect herself spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally. She sort of reached that goal but fills you in on what God has been teaching in the midst of the break. Get ready for more episodes full of great topics and even better friends!

Jess sits down with her mom for a season finale episode! They tackle questions like, "How do you develop a prayer life?" "If you could go back would you do anything different in parenting?" and more! And if Jess' outfit choice for the episode reveals anything, it is that this episode is meant to feel more like a chill chat with your mom and less like a proper finale. But you know what? That's okay! We still made it to the end of Season 1 of The Honestly, Jess Show, and we're pumped to use this break (from podcasting and socials) to recharge and reconnect with what the Lord is doing!

What do we do when the tension of our wildest dreams and hopes feels at odds with wanting to be content where we are? That's what Jess tackles in this episode, because she is right there trying to find an answer, too!

Psalm 103 & 130

Jess kicks off the episode with a few travel stories about getting lost and wandering Irish backroads. Then she has an honest chat about what it looks like, as believers in Christ, to be truly open with our friends about our struggles.

Confession isn't something we're constantly thinking about in friendship, but when it comes to being vulnerable with our struggles to those closest to us, the practice of confession can lead to greater strength and trust in the long run. It doesn't mean you're vulnerable with everyone! But for those who you do trust and share things with, the practice of confession can make even the strongest friendships that much more resilient AND serve as a testimony of how to walk out Galatians 6:1 & 2 as we bear one another's burdens.
