Title:  Roadtrippin with Jen + Sharron McMahon:  Awake, Unraveled, and Still Standing 

Description:

In this live, wide-ranging conversation, Jen Hatmaker is joined by bestselling author and civic educator Sharon McMahon (Sharon Says So) for an honest, funny, and deeply grounding discussion about truth, courage, faith, and what it means to stay awake in uncertain times.

Beginning with Sharon joining Jen on stage, the two explore everything from dating after divorce and the wisdom of grandmothers, to how fear and misinformation shape our public life. They reflect on history as a guide, the importance of joy as resistance, and why living fully—especially in anxious seasons—is not a betrayal of others’ suffering.

Jen also shares hard-won insight about friendship in midlife, faith after certainty, and the real cost of telling the truth. Together, Jen and Sharon remind us that while waking up is disruptive, staying asleep costs more—and that we don’t have to navigate this moment alone.

Thought-provoking Quotes:

  • “You are not helping anybody by being paralyzed in a state of fear and joylessness.”— Sharon McMahon

  • “There have been people who came before us who lived through so much—and they left their lanterns on the path.” — Sharon McMahon

  • “You do not owe the world a state of paralyzation and fear.”— Sharon McMahon
  •  “One friend can love you back to life. One is enough.” — Jen Hatmaker

  • “Too hard is living asleep at the wheel.”— Jen Hatmaker
  •  “I don’t see good fruit from this tree.”  — Jen Hatmaker
  •  “God is not constrained to a building. I didn’t lose Jesus.” — Jen Hatmaker
