Hey friend, I’m Jenn!

I empower women to trade insecurity for identity and intention with God. Through my blog (formerly What You Make It), social media (@jennschultzauthor) and podcast (Called Into Being), I share about messy simple faith, confidently pursuing your calling, and living a wholehearted life. My first book comes out in September with Esther Press/David C. Cook!

It was a find yourself in tears on the floor kind of moment. After over a year of prayers and hard work on book proposals and meetings and rejections, this was a turning point. And today, that book makes...

Did you get this email from a friend? Let's make it official! Hey Friend, The other day, I could feel it. I could smell it. Fall is on its way. (Can't you just hear the Gilmore Girls La La song in the background?) I don't usually like to skip ahead. There are a few more weeks of summer left, and I want to soak them in. But with fall comes a busy season that arrives fast and hits hard -- namely, back to school season. You might be heading back to school yourself. Maybe you're a mom like me...

Did you get this email from a friend? Let's make it official! Hey Friend, Do you know what can happen in 40 days? In Genesis 7, 40 days and 40 nights was how long it took for rain to cover the planet, while Noah and his family waited in the ark. In Exodus 24, Moses spends 40 days on Mount Sinai as God gives him instructions for the Israelites.
