Number 1: Scared of Rest
What if the reason you struggle to rest isn’t that you don’t know how, but because you’re actually scared to? In the first episode of Showing Up Scared, Jess Connolly is kicking off the season by talking about a fear many of us don’t realize we’re carrying: the fear of rest. What does rest say about us? What might we have to face when things get quiet? And what happens when we stop striving long enough to trust that God can keep holding everything together without us? Jess walks through some of the fears underneath our resistance to rest. From the fear of what other people think to the fear of ourselves, losing control, and even trusting God, she unpacks why naming our fears is such an important first step toward courage. Rest is trust. And sometimes, choosing to rest is one of the bravest things we can do.

Number 2: Women + The Church: The Kingdom Dream
We are in the final episode of our summer series Women + The Church. Today, we dive into the question of what it looks like when women are equipped to run on mission - not in theory, but in the day-to-day. Jess and Nick paint a picture of how practical leadership tools can empower a young mom teaching Romans with confidence, a pastor's wife to build rhythms that prevent burnout, and a woman across the world getting trained in communication skills. They've seen firsthand at their own church the security and humility it takes for men and women to lead well together, and how that partnership points toward an Edenic return. It's an honest look at what's possible and an invitation to imagine it for your own church and community. Let's go. Resources & Links We need YOUR help.

Number 3: Women + The Church: What DOES the Bible say?
We're back with Part Two of this summer series, Women + The Church, and today we're finally getting into the text itself. This week, Jess and Nick sit down to actually open Scripture together, looking at what it says, who it was written to, and why context matters so much in how we read it. It's a conversation about slowing down, asking better questions, and holding the Bible with both conviction and humility. This isn't an episode meant to convince anyone. It's an honest look at what the text actually says, and an invitation to wrestle with it well. Let’s go. Resources & Links We need YOUR help.

Book Nick mentions: God's Big Picture by Vaughan Roberts (or for the deeper dive, According to Plan by Graham Goldsworthy)

Number 4: Women + The Church: My Story
This summer, we're diving into one of the most requested conversations we've ever had. In Part 1 of this four-part series on Women in the Church, Jess and Nick share their journey. From the churches that shaped them to seasons of confusion, wrestling, and healing to the convictions they hold today. This isn't an episode meant to convince anyone or argue a position. It's an honest conversation about following Jesus, loving His Church, taking Scripture seriously, and learning to walk faithfully in the calling God gives each of us. Whether you've wrestled with these questions for years or have never really thought about them before, we hope this conversation encourages you to pursue truth with humility, grace, and courage.
