Let's quit trying to be the hero.... God is the hero. And we are part of the rescue plan. — Jess Connolly
You Are the Girl for the Job
Session One: Let's Quit
by Jess Connolly, from You Are the Girl for the Job
Welcome to Bible Study of the Week, where each Sunday we provide you with a new and different first session of a video study by popular pastors, authors, and teachers, plus information about our upcoming community online studies.
This is session one of You Are the Girl for the Job, which has been selected as our next women's OBS starting September 7th! You Are the Girl for the Job is a six-week journey through Scripture to see how just perfectly planned every element of your story has been to get you right here, right now, ready and fully equipped to take off and join God in His mission. Get ready to discover that is not about your capacity, but rather about God's, and what He can do through you.
So, here's author Jess Connolly with some details:
Who is this study for? Any woman who struggles with feelings of inadequacy, fear, or confusion about what God has made her for. Or! Anyone who wants a tool to encourage other women who may have these struggles.
What is it about? This is not a fluffy message to puff you up and tell you that you have what it takes. Rather, it's a biblically-based guide to help point to the One who does. It takes women through a series of steps that range from finding the people God has made you to serve to fighting fear to catching a Spirit-given vision for your life.
Why the feet on the cover? Because it's not important that you believe me when I tell you that you're the girl for the job. What will change the world is when women start to speak this truth over themselves and take God at His Word. Thus, I wanted the reader to be looking down at the title - speaking it over herself!
Why does this message matter? Because women everywhere are sitting on the sidelines due to feelings of insignificance and inadequacy. Because the world around us is hurting and in pain and we've been made ambassadors of light, hope, and healing to encourage them. Because when we doubt that we are the girls for the job - we are doubting God's authority, providence, and faithfulness.
Are you ready to dive in together? We've got nothing to lose except time where we could be taught, empowered, and encouraged by God's Word and other women.
Let's go!
Watch Session One: Let's Quit
(You'll see it's the best place to start)
Session One Welcome from Jess
There's no getting around it. I believe God is going to change each of us, change our lives, and change the world through this study. Here's how I know:
For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think. Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don't go back until they've watered the earth, Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry, So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They'll do the work I sent them to do, they'll complete the assignment I gave them. — Isaiah 55:9-11 MSG
We are the girls for the job because He is the one who starts and finishes the work in and through us. We can believe that He'll bring fruit in our lives because His Word does not come back empty-handed.

PERSONAL HEART CHECK
Before we dig into this session's video, let's do a quick personal heart check. Take a minute or two to answer the following questions. You don't have to share these answers; this is just an opportunity for you to pause and get honest with yourself and God.
1. On a scale of 1–10 (1=very little, 10=significantly), how much do you believe God can change your life and change the world through you?
2. How does the phrase "you are the girl for the job" make you feel?
3. How willing are you to be surprised by God this week?
MY PRAYER + YOUR PRAYER
Father, I thank You for our new friends and our connection through Your Word. I ask this week that You'd help each of us to see potential defeat in our lives, to perceive it in places where we may have grown numb to the lies and condemning voices in our own heads. I ask that You would also give us eyes to see areas where we are striving, hiding, and pushing hard to be our ideal selves — instead of the women You've created us to be. I pray You give us the boldness and belief to quit trying to be heroes, and to begin trusting Your capacity and power in our lives. Amen.

You believe (or want to believe) God has called you and given you purpose, but where do you start? How do you get from feeling stuck to making a move? If this sounds familiar, bestselling author Jess Connolly has a message for you: You Are the Girl for the Job.
But this is not simply a peppy catchphrase. This is the straight-up truth God has proclaimed over your life from the beginning, and 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 book be your very good news: you don't have to wait for permission when you've already been commissioned.
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?
Let this book [and study] be your jumpstart into confident, purposed living, as Jess walks you through the six steps she has used to coach and encourage women for years: 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--all in the bold belief that God has called you to every step of the journey.
