Hey everyone! Candace and Jenny here, and we can hardly believe that we are already wrapping up Season 5. It's been a wild ride, but we couldn't be more grateful for all of our amazing listeners who have been with us every step of the way.

As we take a look back at some of our favorite moments from seasons past, we can't help but feel a little nostalgic. From hilarious guest interviews to heartfelt conversations about motherhood and ministry, we've had so many amazing memories over the years.

But as we wrap up this final episode of Season 5, we're also looking ahead to the future and what's to come for both of us in our personal and professional lives. It's an exciting time, but also a little bittersweet as we say goodbye to this season.

So get ready for all the laughs, all the nostalgia, and all the feels as we close out Season 5. And to all of our listeners out there, we want to remind you to always lean in and listen, even when it's hard. We're forever rooting for you to shut your shoulds up and embrace all of the amazing opportunities that life has to offer. Thanks for tuning in!

S5E39 Clear the Mom Fog with Hannah Keeley

Should I stay or should I go?
Many people with faith backgrounds are asking themselves these questions the older they get, and the more the world around them changes and challenges their faith. Today, a friend of the show and outstanding human, Natalie Runion offers a much-needed conversation.


Pastor’s kid turned pastor, Natalie, her husband Tony and their two daughters live in Colorado Springs, Colorado where she served as a pastor of women and a worship pastor.  In her twenty years of ministry as a worship leader, songwriter, and pastor, Natalie has served various organizations and ministries across the country.


 In 2019 after watching many of her peers walk away from the church and their faith, Natalie began Raised to Stay, a ministry for those who have wandered, wondered, and wrestled with the Church and the challenges of full-time ministry. Known for her black boxes of hard truth on social media for the Church and church leaders, her heart is to see a generation finish their race as they partner with a good Father who is faithful to complete the work He began in each of us.


Natalie is a sought-after speaker and writer in the local and global Church, writing for She Reads Truth and other Christian publications.  Her debut book, Raised to Stay, published with David C Cook will be available in Summer 2023! You can learn more about Raised to Stay on Instagram at @raisedtostay and preorder her book on Amazon and other major retailers.

Candace and Jenny invite friends of the show for this special series to learn and lean into some incredible conversations with powerful women. In today's episode, Dr. Jamie Morgan is no exception.
In her decades in ministry, Dr. Jamie Morgan has witnessed a troubling trend - countless numbers of Christian women almost answer their callings, almost use their gifts and talents to build the kingdom, and almost fulfill their destinies.
author of the book, Her Calling: A Woman's Guide to Fulfilling Her God-Given Destiny?


Dr. Morgan is available for interviews answering questions such as:

   What steps should women take to discover God’s calling for them?

  Don't let your past limit you
  Passion sign posts
  Talents and giftings
  Dust off dreams


  What are the limiting mindsets hindering women from walking in their calling?

  What does life look like when we're walking out our destiny?

  Why is this a message that women need to hear today?

As you listen to this episode, challenge the shoulds that rise in your own thoughts that limit and destroy the dreams you are called to live out.



S5E37 Her Calling with Dr. Jamie Morgan

“Disappointment bruises the bravest of souls. The nagging ache of uncertainty causes us to grow weary and afraid to hope. Doubt entices us to wonder if God is good when life is not. Yet, our hard questions can become opportunities for Jesus to show us who He is.”


On this powerful episode of Shut the Should Up, Candace and Jenny invite Angela Donadio for an incredible discussion on being brave in every moment that matters.
  
In Angela's book, Brave Enough To Believe, she speaks of her two near-death experiences and what God did through them.

 “What do I need to learn from this?”How can I use this for your glory?”

 Your purpose is attached to the presence of God

  Don’t ask why questions

About the Book:
Discover Jesus’ invitation to come closer when doubt drives us away.
Disappointment bruises the bravest of souls. The nagging ache of uncertainty
causes us to grow weary and afraid to hope. Doubt entices us to wonder if God is
good when life is not. Yet, our hard questions can become opportunities for Jesus
to show us who He is.
Perhaps you know Thomas for his bouts with doubt. But Jesus knew Thomas for
the courage to question and the bravery to believe. When a crisis of faith revealed
his deepest doubts, Jesus met Thomas’s deepest longings.
The authors bring two unique perspectives to flip the script on the story of
Thomas. Whether you are a seeker, skeptic, or seasoned leader, you will learn
to live untangled from uncertainty, leverage adversity, and lead with confidence
through challenging circumstances.
Thomas exchanged his uncertainty for a life of tenacious faith. When we encounter
Jesus, we can too.
