After a brief podcast hiatus, Jess is back and taking her own advice—pausing to reflect on what worked, what didn’t and setting a vision for what’s next. 

Jess doesn’t know if 2024 was your best year yet or one of the hardest. She doesn’t know if you’re racing into 2025 with excitement or stepping cautiously, trying not to make any sudden moves. But here’s what she does know: your past year deserves reflection, and the year ahead deserves intention.

This podcast is for you. It’s not my podcast; it’s ours. 

Let’s Go.

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.

When was the last time you made time to do something truly creative? What if expressing our God-given nature of creativity wasn’t just a resource we used for seasons when we feel like it? What if making space to create led to the health of our souls, relationships, calling, and rest? 

Today, we have one of the most creative women on the Podcast, Jess’s sister, Caroline Hopper. Caroline and Jess discuss all things creative! 

Whether you consider yourself super creative or say you don’t have a creative bone in your body - this is for you!

In this episode, Jess interviews her dear friend, Pricelis Perraux-Dominguez, author of ‘Being A Sanctuary.’  This conversation between the two is a profound exploration of what it truly means to embody the Body of Christ in a way that's both healthy and holy. Pricelis shares more about her newest book, as it focuses on three aspects of God’s vision for the church: that it would be sacred, soft, and safe. 

If you are a believer in the church, this book is for you. If you’re a pastor, this book is for you. If you’ve experienced church hurt, this book is for you. If you’re ready to be challenged and encouraged, this book is for you. 

Discover how we, as the Body of Christ, can embrace the radical call to be Sacred, Soft, and Safe, embodying the love and grace of Jesus in our everyday lives.
