Hey everyone! Candace and Jenny here, and we can hardly believe that we are already wrapping up Season 5. It's been a wild ride, but we couldn't be more grateful for all of our amazing listeners who have been with us every step of the way. As we take a look back at some of our favorite moments from seasons past, we can't help but feel a little nostalgic. From hilarious guest interviews to heartfelt conversations about motherhood and ministry, we've had so many amazing memories over the years. But as we wrap up this final episode of Season 5, we're also looking ahead to the future and what's to come for both of us in our personal and professional lives. It's an exciting time, but also a little bittersweet as we say goodbye to this season. So get ready for all the laughs, all the nostalgia, and all the feels as we close out Season 5. And to all of our listeners out there, we want to remind you to always lean in and listen, even when it's hard. We're forever rooting for you to shut your shoulds up and embrace all of the amazing opportunities that life has to offer. Thanks for tuning in!

Should I stay or should I go?
Many people with faith backgrounds are asking themselves these questions the older they get, and the more the world around them changes and challenges their faith. Today, a friend of the show and outstanding human, Natalie Runion offers a much-needed conversation.

“Disappointment bruises the bravest of souls. The nagging ache of uncertainty causes us to grow weary and afraid to hope. Doubt entices us to wonder if God is good when life is not. Yet, our hard questions can become opportunities for Jesus to show us who He is.”
On this powerful episode of Shut the Should Up, Candace and Jenny invite Angela Donadio for an incredible discussion on being brave in every moment that matters.
In Angela's book, Brave Enough To Believe, she speaks of her two near-death experiences and what God did through them.
“What do I need to learn from this?”How can I use this for your glory?”
Your purpose is attached to the presence of God
Don’t ask why questions

About the Book:
Discover Jesus’ invitation to come closer when doubt drives us away.
Disappointment bruises the bravest of souls. The nagging ache of uncertainty
causes us to grow weary and afraid to hope. Doubt entices us to wonder if God is
good when life is not. Yet, our hard questions can become opportunities for Jesus
to show us who He is.
Perhaps you know Thomas for his bouts with doubt. But Jesus knew Thomas for
the courage to question and the bravery to believe. When a crisis of faith revealed
his deepest doubts, Jesus met Thomas’s deepest longings.
The authors bring two unique perspectives to flip the script on the story of
Thomas. Whether you are a seeker, skeptic, or seasoned leader, you will learn
to live untangled from uncertainty, leverage adversity, and lead with confidence
through challenging circumstances.
Thomas exchanged his uncertainty for a life of tenacious faith. When we encounter
Jesus, we can too.
