For The Love With Jen Hatmaker Podcast: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Jen Hatmaker
New York Times bestselling author Jen Hatmaker has arrived in the middle years, and she couldn't be happier about it. Jen has navigated the ins and outs of life, from career to parenting, marriage (and divorce), spiritual evolution, and the joys of being a hardcore Gen Xer. With each weekly episode, Jen serves as our "everywoman" guide to all the seasons, past, present, and future, as she walks excitedly and tenaciously into the second half of life. Some weeks, Jen brings her perspective straight to you, just her and the mic, talking through the things we're all navigating. Other weeks, she pulls up a chair for some of the most interesting and accomplished guests around, plus a few of her favorite friends, bringing insight, expertise, and a whole lot of heart to the most relevant topics of our time. While Jen has plenty of wisdom to share (and some pretty hilarious stories, too), she doesn't claim to know it all. From her honest solo reflections to her compelling conversations with guests, she's here to reassure you that you're not alone in this game of life. It's "For the Love" of all that is good, justified, exasperating, exhilarating, real, fun, and so much more.

JHBC: Wm. Paul Young on Return to the Shack, Death Row Friendships, and a God Who Is Good Description:
Twenty years ago, Wm. Paul Young wrote a story as a Christmas gift for his six kids, printed 15 copies at Office Depot, and went back to work at one of his three jobs. That story became The Shack. Now Paul returns with Return to the Shack, our Jen Hatmaker Book Club pick for October, set ten years after the original and shaped by a decade of real friendship with the men of Unit 2 on death row in Nashville. Jen and Paul talk about the long road of healing that came before The Shack, the uncanny ways the book keeps finding the people who need it, why the backlash never shook him, and what his friends on death row have taught him about freedom. Stay until the very end for Paul’s gentle, unforgettable answer to anyone who grew up terrified of hell.Thought-provoking Quotes:"You do the next right thing, you participate with love, and you trust the ripples." (Wm. Paul Young)"When you learn to live without expectations, everything becomes a gift." (Wm. Paul Young)"Fury and grief together are the basis for compassion." (Wm. Paul Young)"It’s not about purpose. It’s about moment by moment response to the person, the event that is actually in front of you." (Wm. Paul Young)"A lot of people live way past their theology because they’re better human beings than their theology would allow them to be." (Wm. Paul Young)Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Return to the Shack by Wm. Paul Young: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/wm-paul-young/return-to-the-shack/9781546008897/The Shack by Wm.

Jen and Friends: Jamie Golden on the Midterms, Botox, and What to Watch Next
Welcome to the very first episode of Jen and Friends, a new monthly segment where Jen pulls up a chair with one of her actual friends. No book tour, no agenda, no interview; just the conversation you'd overhear if you were eavesdropping. First up is the hilarious Jamie Golden, cohost of The Popcast with Knox and Jamie, Faith Adjacent, and Shelf Respect, flying solo on the show for the first time. Recorded the day after the midterms, Jen and Jamie open with a morning-after debrief from Texas and Alabama, then wander happily through purpose-driven alliteration (and the book title nobody stopped Jen from using), the Rachel haircut that swept Oklahoma Baptist University, and a famous-Christian wedding Jamie attended on a tolerance invitation. Then skincare savant Jamie explains snail mucin, why South Korea bet big on beauty and entertainment, the three products you actually need, and why Jen's Botox keeps going sideways. Plus: what to watch next, from The Traitors to War to Slow Horses. Consider this your breather.Thought-provoking Quotes:"What is more enough than a good friend and an hour to laugh?" - Jen Hatmaker"Should we talk about everything and nothing all at the same time?" - Jamie Golden"Could be so much worse. It's the new American slogan." - Jen Hatmaker"Skincare is like a seasoning in a dish." - Jamie Golden"All you need is a cleanser, a sunscreen, and a moisturizer.

How to Be a Great Guest with Top Chef's Gail Simmons
It's officially the season of invitations, and if your first feeling about the next holiday text is a tiny bit of dread, Gail Simmons wrote a book for you. Gail has been at the Top Chef judges' table since the very first season (20 years and 23 seasons!), and she noticed that for all the books on hosting, almost nobody teaches us how to be a good guest. So she wrote Guesting. Jen and Gail talk about why the judges never get to know the chefs, the food-loving parents who raised her to be curious about the world, the blunt advice that sent her to culinary school, and the signature-gift habit she picked up from food critic Jeffrey Steingarten. Plus: the uninvited guest who walked off with the centerpieces, why the Irish goodbye is actually fine, the "Jewish Canadian goodbye," and how to ask for leftovers like a pro. This is a conversation about reciprocity, gratitude, and building the connected world we're all hoping for.Thought-provoking Quotes:"I realized that we all guest in the world a lot more than we actually host." - Gail Simmons"This isn't Emily Post. This is how to contribute to our communities a little better." - Gail Simmons"We're voting on vibes, and you guys are voting on food." - Jen Hatmaker"Hosts don't host to get gifts... they host to host." - Gail Simmons"Dress, act, put out in the world for the experience you want to receive." - Gail Simmons"It's never too late to be grateful." - Gail Simmons"What I want people to say is she is the life of the party." - Gail SimmonsResources Mentioned in This Episode:Guesting by Gail Simmons - https://gailsimmons.com/guestingSigned copies from Books Are Magic - https://www.booksaremagic.netTop Chef on Bravo - https://www.bravotv.com/top-chefGuest's Links:Website - https://gailsimmons.comInstagram - https://instagram.com/gailsimmonseatsTwitter - https://twitter.com/gailsimmonsConnect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmakerThe For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

The Morning After Midterms: You Still Have Enough (Jen Hatmaker Solo Episode)
If you’re hearing this the morning it drops, the midterms wrapped yesterday. I recorded this last week, on purpose, so I don’t know how it went. I don’t know what you woke up feeling, and honestly, I don’t know what I’m feeling yet either. Relieved, defeated, somewhere in between: either way, we still have to get up and make breakfast.We’re opening our November series on Enough, and today it’s just me and you with the most basic version of it: you have enough in you to show up today, no matter what happened yesterday. I’m asking three questions. What do you still have that you had yesterday? What can you set down, or hand to someone else, for 24 hours? And what is the next small thing that’s yours to do?Setting something down is not quitting. Being a good neighbor is not a small thing. And as we head into the holiday season, maybe facing some hard firsts, you also get to say enough is enough. I want all of us to have enough left for the long game.Thought-provoking Quotes:Enough really isn’t a feeling. For me, sometimes I see it more as a count.Setting something down is not quitting. Resting is not quitting. Pausing is not quitting.Hope can be so exhausting when you’re just trying to hold it up in the air with all your might.We can’t fix everything, but we do have to have dinner.Being a good neighbor to me is the highest apex of my faith.I believe that we belong to each other, and that we have far more in common than what separates us.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Join the AWAKE Collective on Letters from the Middle - https://jenhatmaker.substack.comRead this month’s free essay - https://jenhatmaker.substack.com (the first essay of every month is free for all subscribers)November AWAKE Collective Reflection Guide, included with your subscriptionLeave us a voicemail - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcast: Tell me three things you still have today.Connect with Jen!Jen’s Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/Jen’s Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen’s Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/Jen’s Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen’s YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmakerThe For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

Kim Hill and Paulette Wooten: We Fell in Love and Lost Our Whole World
Kim Hill had the kind of run most artists only dream of: number one songs on Christian radio, arena stages, and the biggest women’s conferences in the country. Paulette Wooten was a songwriter, musician, and ordained music minister helping build the modern worship movement from the inside. Then they met at a worship school, played a 45-minute set together as near strangers, and a year and a half of friendship on the road quietly turned into love. In a world where that was not allowed, they chose each other anyway.As part of our Courage to Change: Do It Scared series, Jen sits down with Kim and Paulette, now the Americana duo Wooten Hill, to talk about the long, slow road out of the world that built them. They share the disastrous wedding venue chapter (Billy and the squirrels!), what changed when they stopped hiding from themselves, why they chose not to blow up their lives, and how they’ve kept love at the center even when it wasn’t returned. Plus, the summer they waited on a grandbaby in Nashville and ended up making the truest record of their lives. Their first full-length album, How Did We Get Here, is out now.Thought-provoking Quotes:“If I am gay, I’m gonna be gay and have a real relationship. I’m not gonna have some no man’s land.” - Kim Hill“I feel like someone plugged me into an amp. I feel like I sing better.” - Kim Hill“This is the truest art I have ever put out.” - Paulette Wooten“You’re not too late, you’re not broken. You are enough.” - Kim Hill“I find that kind of faith the most faithful kind of faith.” - Jen Hatmaker“Your story has made you softer, not harder.” - Jen HatmakerResources Mentioned in This Episode:How Did We Get Here by Wooten Hill (streaming, CD, and vinyl) - https://wootenhill.comThe Road to Wooten Hill podcast (launching October 30) - https://wootenhill.comWooten Hill on Apple Music - https://music.apple.com/us/artist/wooten-hill/1539129507The Treehouse + Co - https://www.thetreehouseandco.com“How He Loves” by John Mark McMillan - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_He_LovesLeave us a voicemail - http://jenhatmaker.com/PodcastGuest’s Links:Website - https://wootenhill.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/wootenhillband/Apple Music - https://music.apple.com/us/artist/wooten-hill/1539129507Connect with Jen!Jen’s Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/Jen’s Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen’s Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/Jen’s Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen’s YouTu ...
