The Jess Connolly Podcast

We say we want peace. We pray for it. We look for it. We try to build lives that might finally give it to us.
But if we’re honest? Peace can feel just out of reach.
This week in Shalom Season, Jess sits down with theologian and friend Dr. Joel Muddamalle to talk about something we don’t often connect with peace, but should: spiritual warfare.
Together, they explore how the unseen battle impacts our everyday lives, our fears, and our ability to live in true, lasting shalom.

In this episode of Shalom Season, Jess sits down with her husband, Nick Connolly, to talk about anxiety. Especially when it shows up physically, not just mentally. Nick shares about his recent battle with anxiety, how it differed from past experiences, and what it looked like to pursue peace in the middle of it.
Together, they explore the tension between caring for your health and becoming consumed by it, the role of community and prayer, and the shift from striving to receive God’s love. This conversation is a reminder that even when your body feels overwhelmed, true biblical peace, shalom, is still possible.
Let’s go.

Welcome to Shalom Season.
In this first episode, Jess introduces the heart of the season and explores the deeper meaning of biblical peace… shalom. While the world often defines peace as comfort or the absence of conflict, the Bible describes something far richer: wholeness, restoration, and right relationship with God.
If you’ve been longing for more peace in your mind, body, relationships, or everyday life, this episode lays the foundation for the conversations ahead.
Throughout Shalom Season, we’ll explore what it looks like to experience God’s peace in our homes, marriages, motherhood, community, and more.
