Dawn and Ruth are back with another book group, and this time they're diving into Jen Hatmaker's new book Awake, which is basically a masterclass in personal growth, resilience, and figuring out who the heck you are when everything falls apart.
Look, we're getting real real here: ministry challenges, full-blown identity crises, and the messy, beautiful work of adapting when life throws you a curveball the size of Minnesota. Because here's the thing—change is coming whether you're ready or not, and you've got two choices: resist it or lean in and see what's on the other side.
They're talking about the guts it takes to be authentic in leadership (spoiler: it's harder than it looks), how major life transitions can actually set you free instead of breaking you, and why community matters when you're in the thick of it. Because you can't do this alone.
This episode is for anyone who's ever felt stuck, lost, or like they need permission to reinvent themselves. Consider this your permission slip: You don't have to stay who you were. You get to become who you're meant to be. So grab your coffee, settle in, and let's talk about staying true to yourself when life gets messy. Because it will. And that's okay.
