  Showing Up Scared | Scared of Style + Being Seen With Ally Van Iten

  Sep 28, 202649 min

  What if getting dressed could actually help you show up with more courage? In this episode of Showing Up Scared, Jess talks with House of Color CEO Ally Van Iten about her journey into color and style, eventually becoming CEO. Jess also shares how having her colors done three years ago became far more significant than a wardrobe decision. During a season of deep grief and family crisis, exploring color and personal style helped her feel equipped to show up as herself again. Together, Jess and Ally talk about why enjoying beauty isn’t frivolous, how creativity reflects the heart of a creative God, and why “not worrying about what we wear” doesn’t mean we have to stop caring about beauty and style. If you’ve ever felt afraid to be seen, this conversation is an invitation to step into the fullness of who God made you to be.

  Scared of Rest

  Sep 21, 202629 min

  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.

  Women + The Church: The Kingdom Dream

  Aug 3, 202647 min

  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.

  Women + The Church: The Real Problem

  Jul 27, 202622 min

  The Church is full of women ready to lead, and Jess believes it's time to actually equip them. In episode three of our Women + The Church summer series, she's getting into the equipping gap: what it is, why it matters, and how to close it. Jess sits down solo this week to name something she's seen over and over again, coaching women for the last six years: women are trusted with real leadership, but never actually trained for it. She walks through the five pillars that Go and Tell Gals is building its work around, and shares how the shift from coaching certification to leadership certification will help equip the women who need it most. It's an honest look at the gap, an invitation to be part of the solution, and a look at how we can partner in this good work together. Let's go. Resources & Links We need YOUR help.

  Women + The Church: What DOES the Bible say?

  Jul 20, 202641 min

  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. Join the Founder's Circle for our non-profit: Support the ministry of Go and Tell Gals. Book Nick mentions: God's Big Picture by Vaughan Roberts (or for the deeper dive, According to Plan by Graham Goldsworthy )
