<div>In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Jess Connolly—author, podcaster, and speaker—invites us into a season of her life marked by heartbreak and uncertainty. 

Jess opens up about the winter of 2023, when her husband experienced panic attacks, heart issues, and a mental health crisis. At the same time, her family was facing major loss as her stepfather passed away after heart surgery, while also preparing for a book release. Followed by one of her children walking through a dark trial. Jess brings so much truth and gentle encouragement to anyone walking through a season that desperately needs hope, not the shallow Christian clichés we often hear, but a deep and steady hope that God is with us in the valley. Here’s some of what we cover:

<ul>
<li>The myth of the “prosperity gospel of parenting” and why 1+2 does <em>not</em> always equal 3</li>
<li>The pressure to assign purpose to a painful season </li>
<li>Rethinking Psalm 23 and understanding the rod and the staff </li>
<li>Learning to lament: why anger expressed to God is actually intimacy</li>
<li>An exclusive sneak peak at her next book! </li>
