The Jess Connolly Podcast

There’s nothing like your health to make you feel defeated. There’s nothing like health that makes us feel so much shame about where we’re at. Because our bodies are OUR BODIES, they’re the homes we live in here on earth - the enemy can often use our health to keep us from experiencing abundance, freedom, joy, and peace. 

In this episode, we are joined by Jess’s friend, health coach, and author of The Good Food Solution, Meredyth Fletcher. Meredyth discusses how your journey isn’t about trying the next fad diet or seeking a quick fix—it’s about finding the right balance for YOU. Like Meredyth is with Jess and Jess’s family, she will encourage you wherever you find yourself on your health journey.

If you feel defeated and sick, this episode is for you. If you love discussing health, this episode is for you.

Let’s go.

Show Notes:

Depending on your city, community, or algorithm on social media, you may hear that there is only one way you can show up and vote as a Christian this fall. What’s wild is that depending on your city, community, and algorithm, you could be hearing two completely different perspectives on what that is. 

This week, Jess is bringing back her best friend, pastor, and favorite podcast guest, Nick Connolly, to discuss what they really think about politics. 

This episode is not meant to convince you that one way, side, or issue is right. Rather, Jess and Nick hope that they can pull back and gain a wider perspective on how the people of God can bring the light of Jesus to a very dark world. 

This episode is for the humble and hungry among us who want to see His kingdom come and His will be done—not just in our nation but in the world at large. 

Let’s go.
