()
About this ebook
Life is too short to get stuck in a holding pattern.
Have you ever let doubt, hesitation, and comparison hold you back from embracing that deep tug on your heart–your calling from God? The lie far too many of us believe is that we are not the right person to impact whatever circumstance or situation we face. But the truth is that God has placed you exactly where you are for exactly what is before you. You ARE the girl for the job.
This video Bible study will not only show you how to make a difference, but it will give you a jumpstart into confident, purposed living. Face your fears, catch the vision, make a plan, and finally live like you believe you were destined for God’s call on your life. Dive into Scripture and see just how 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.
The You Are the Girl for the Job Study Guide includes video teaching notes, group discussion questions, and weekly personal study activities to engage your heart, head, and hands with His truth.

You Are the Girl for the Job Bible Study Guide - Jess Connolly
NOTE FROM JESS
Friend, I want to tell you something about the front cover of the study guide, book, and video. It was very intentional, and it actually had a lot more to do with a revelation from God than you might think.
As you’re doing this Bible study you’re going to come face to face with this truth: I often struggle to believe that I’m the girl for the job too. I press into the message with you, alongside you, because the alternative is doubting God, His power, and His capacity in our lives.
When my friends were praying and dreaming about what the book cover needed to communicate, I realized it was super important that whoever reads and digs into this message doesn’t hear me saying they’re the girl for the job—it’s important that they tell it to themselves. We have to learn so many lessons for ourselves or else they don’t take root. Before we take a step further, it should be clear that by the time we’re done, I want you to be able to tell yourself you’re the girl for the job, not because it’s a cute message but because it’s the truth of God.
When you see the cover, I pray you will remember that this is God’s message you’re receiving, not a fluffy statement that some author is telling you casually.
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
GROUP SIZE
The You Are the Girl for the Job video study is designed to be experienced in a group setting, such as a Bible study, community group, or any other small group setting. To ensure everyone has enough time to participate in discussions after the video teaching, smaller groups of six to eight women are recommended.
MATERIALS NEEDED
Each participant will need her own copy of this study guide. For the most comprehensive personal experience of the material, an individual copy of the book You Are the Girl for the Job is encouraged. One copy (per group) of the DVD or the ability to view digital video sessions is required.
STUDY GUIDE
A schedule is included at the beginning of every session to help you plan and prepare for each group meeting as well as to see the personal study time planned for that session.
This study guide contains fill-in-the-blank spaces to follow along with the video teaching as well as margin room to take personal notes. Group discussion questions follow the video, as well as a weekly group exercise that deals with changing our language in order to change our culture.
You will have three days of personal study to do on your own between sessions. You can break it into smaller bits or do it all at once. The personal time exercises go in a pattern each week. On the first day, you’ll let God speak to your heart and emotions regarding the topic of that session. On the second day, you’ll engage your mind with some deeper biblical history and study. On the third day, you’ll focus heavily on application and agreeing to God’s Word with your actions. By the time you meet with your group again, whatever truth you’ve studied will be deeply implanted in your heart, your head, and your life.
Note: If you are unable to finish (or even start!) the between-sessions personal study, still attend the group study video session. We are all busy, and life happens. You are still wanted and welcome at the group even if you don’t have your homework
done.
Keep in mind that this is an opportunity to train yourself to see the world as God sees it. The videos, discussions, and personal studies are simply meant to kick-start your imagination in order to help you see how God is working through you already.
TIMING
The time notations next to each group section indicate either the actual video run time or the suggested time you can expect for discussion and activities. Each group meeting should be able to be completed in 60–90 minutes, depending on how much time you choose to allow for discussion.
LEADING A GROUP
Each group should appoint a leader who is responsible for starting the video and keeping track of time during discussions and activities. Leaders often find it useful to read the discussion questions in advance.
