Reap What You Sow

Listen in as I, Jess, along with my dear friend and office manager Grace, navigate the rollercoaster that is life and its myriad of lessons on the Jesus Fix It podcast. Grappling with the irony of my past as a chatty school kid to now making a living through speaking, I recount the struggle of losing my voice to illness and the joy of its return. Our conversation takes a turn into the cautionary world of TikTok fame, as we dissect the viral saga of a TikToker and her whirlwind pandemic marriage gone wrong. It's a tale that serves as a warning, yet somehow, her trials have turned into a platform of millions of followers and unexpected opportunities, raising questions about the true nature of blessings and the internal tussle between rejoicing for others and craving personal victories.

This episode isn't just about cautionary tales; it's also a heart-to-heart on the perplexities of influencer culture and its impact on traditional views of work and morality. Grace and I ponder the intricacies of earning a living in the age of social media, and what it means when everyday antics transform into lucrative careers. We touch upon the support and personal growth that comes from celebrating others' successes, addressing the bitterness of comparison, and embracing the role of faith in finding contentment with our own paths. Join us for this heartfelt and thought-provoking discussion, where the complexities of life are met with a simple truth: Jesus can handle it all.
