You want to believe God has called you and given you purpose, but how do you get from feeling stuck to making a move?
Here's what's true: You are the girl for the job...and that's not just a peppy catchphrase.
This is the straight-up truth God has proclaimed over your life from the beginning, and Jess Connolly shares it's not dependent on what you can do or achieve but based on His power, capacity, and character.
It has taken one million, maybe one zillion (who knows?!), slight moves of His hand to place you in this exact moment. So forget about fear and second-guessing your gifts, because God has meticulously prepared you to be an ambassador for the Kingdom right where you are, here and now. Life is too short to get stuck in a holding pattern of shame, self-doubt, and comparison. So let this study be your very good news: you don't have to wait for permission when you've already been commissioned.
Jess walks you through the six steps she has used to help women jumpstart into confident, purposed living:
- Set your focus
- Take stock of the story that has shaped you
- Face your fear
- Catch the vision
- Make a plan
- Make your move
With passion and heart-pumping hope, Jess shows that being the girl for the job doesn't depend on your capacity. Rather, it has everything to do with God's capacity and our willingness. It has everything to do with believing we are who God says we are, and quieting any inferior word spoken against us. Are you ready?
Sessions include:
- Let’s Quit
- Who?
- What?
- Face the Fear
- Catch the Vision
- Because God Says So

Initial thoughts: Glad I started 2020 with this book. While I've spent the past two years figuring out and refining my goals and purposes in life at least for the next ten years, I've done so with greater focus on myself. You Are the Girl for the Job helped me see these more in the context of my faith and God's plans for me.
I especially liked how Jess broke down her book into six steps (set your focus, take stock of the story that has shaped you, face your fear, catch the vision, make a plan, and finally, make your move). It helped put various aspects of my journey into perspective. Reflecting on these will surely help me take things further as I pray and surrender my current and future plans into the hands of God.
