New York Times bestselling author Jen Hatmaker talks about going to her first ever pride parade (!), giving mom hugs, parenting, and faith shifts. Jen is a sought-after speaker, a popular blogger, and beloved author of eleven Bible studies and books, including NYTimes Bestseller "For the Love" and her newest book "Of Mess and Moxie."  She is the happy hostess of a tightly knit online community where she reaches millions of people each week in addition to speaking at retreats, conferences, and seminars all around the country. Jen and her hubby, Brandon, are founders of the organizations Restore Austin, which connects churches and non-profits in the Austin community, and the Legacy Collective, a giving community that granted more than a million dollars in its first year. The couple also pastors Austin New Church and lives on the outskirts of Austin with their 5 kids: Gavin, Sydney, Caleb, Ben, and Remy, in a 1910-era farmhouse which they recently overhauled as stars of the HGTV series "Big Family Renovation".
