  • It’s difficult when you’re a writer who exposes your soul.
  • “You wrote this book for me.” is a common description
  • I feel everything you feel.
  • The problem is how we were programmed. We were told what it looks like to
  • I don’t feel that. It’s not working.
  • The more we pretend to have it together the worse we’re going to feel.

My Guts on Sale Now for $15.99

The book is out and a lot of fears are being beat down daily around here.

But God is using these words and for that alone (His namesake) I obey, plus they tell me it is too late to take it back.
This book is one of my anythings….

I pray readers would walk away wanting a life completely surrendered to God, no matter the cost. But that takes laying down this life….so we built a place for people to lay down their anythings…. mine was an empty bed but bigger and deeper it was the approval of those closest to me. I had to die to that before God had me completely.
What is Your Anything?
Look at what God is already doing? It is beautiful. Come be a part and post a picture of your anything.

Donald Miller and the RV

Spring Break 2012 began with a few Austin SXSW festivities. I have been dreaming of meeting Donald Miller for years. Blue Like Jazz and Million Miles both shook me and made me ache to write with even 1/10 of his authenticity and grace.

And now the movie happens to be incredibly moving and genre breaking. It will impact many. See it!

This is me pretending to be cool but coming out of my skin because I was so excited.

My sweet friend Sarah Henry…

Then we got brave and Zac rented an RV.

Jennie’s new podcast – If God Is Real – Episode #001

A Podcast?

So I was approached by someone to start this… And here is why I said yes…

The Vision

Over the coming months Andy and I will host some guests and hopefully it will feel like you get to have a chat with some people that love God and are serving Him in unique ways.

If God is Real…. Then we need to live like it. These people are. The first two episodes are a chance for people to hear a little of our family’s story. Then we will dig in and hear from all types of people who are living lives that scream of a God that is real.

To the generation above us…..

I know we seem hard to reach, distracted and often arrogant and honestly, sometimes we are. But maybe you can appreciate some of what gets our attention. We are a reckless passionate generation, who longs to know Jesus and change the world.

Our Generation longs for…..

Honesty.

We would rather you be a wreck and honest than polished and plastic feeling. Be a broken sinner and we will forgive you and like you better for it.

Depth.

Chasing God

It is not better preaching, and finer writing that is needed in this day

Good?

Somebody told Cooper Santa only brought gifts to good boys, so of course he asked,

“Mom, am I a good boy?”

Ummmm…. as I am writing this I hear pounding and unusally loud singing from his bedroom a good bit after we have tucked him in…..honestly. But what 4 year old boy is good? Strike that. What human is good?

I want to teach him that Christmas isn’t for those of us that measure up. Christmas is for all of us that couldn’t.

Adequate

I crave it. I want to feel it so badly that I attach myself to any sparkling little speck of it.

Lately it has felt like adequacy is a requirement for my life. I signed a contract. With this contract came a book and teaching and bible studies, all of which would require an adequate person, an adequate writer, an adequate teacher; someone worthy of such things

Hold Your Fire

Where are the next generation of women leaders?

We are passionately dreaming behind closed doors. But we are all terrified to stand up and lead. We are afraid of being hated and equally afraid of being liked and followed and we are trying to stay in love with Jesus enough to do it anyway. There are a few jumping up and down trying to get everyone
