Can I Be Brave and Afraid? A Conversation on Rest, Courage, & Living Fully Awake with Jess Connolly|Episode 39

Can I Be Brave and Afraid? A Conversation on Rest, Courage, & Living Fully Awake with Jess Connolly|Episode 39

This may be a hot take, but is faith truly fearless? Can you be brave and still afraid- and what does honest faith look like when courage feels quiet, rest feels necessary, and following God asks us to slow down instead of strive?

These are some of the questions sitting at the center of today's one-year birthday episode with my dear friend, author, pastor, and Bible teacher-Jess Connolly. Our conversation is deeply honest about what it means to live fully awake with God- even when we're tired, stretched thin, or unsure of the next step. And it definitely feels less like an interview and more like two friends telling the truth together about courage, calling, and the sacred invitation to rest.

Jess shares pieces of her journey from humble beginnings that started in a season of exhaustion and searching for hope-- to pastoring, writing, and recently returning from a three month sabbatical.

Together, we talk about the pace, presence, the courage it takes to keep going when fear may still be present, devotion and depletion, and how women can care for themselves without living in guilt or shame.

If you have ever wondered whether faith has room for the fear you experience, fatigue, or your honest questions- this episode is a gentle reminder that bravery doesn't always look loud, and rest is not somehting you have to earn.
