Curb | Word Entertainment recording artist and Love & The Outcome’s Jodi King releases her first book, You Got This: A Guide to Ditching Perfect and Shows Up to Your Real Life (WestBow Press), today (10/16).

You Got This captures the Dove-nominated singer’s wisdom, humor, and luminous personality as she shares inspiring lyrics, quotes, and affirmations that have encouraged her along her own faith journey. All of the devotions in the book were written in the midst of real life. King, a mother of two young boys—Milo Wolf, 4; and Ziggy Bear, 2—writes about the artful balance of marriage, motherhood, and ministry as she and husband Chris Rademaker travel the country with their sons in tow, living out their faith day by day.
While she acknowledges their lifestyle is unique, King first felt the nudge to write the devotional nearly two years ago as she struggled to live up to the culture’s unattainable standards of perfection, something she thinks most busy moms can relate to. “On our first tour with both boys, Ziggy was six weeks old; and I remember trying to fit into my skinny jeans, breastfeed a baby, and run onstage. It was like everything was falling apart,” King recalls. “I literally screamed to God in my dressing room. In that moment, everything changed. Instead of trying to be perfect and have it all together, I let His perfect love hold me and my family together. I learned that the key was going from ‘I got this’ to ‘God, I know you got this…because I don’t.’” From that moment on, I made it my mission to let others know that being strong is simply showing up obediently and letting God use you.
In addition to becoming a first-time author, King has also added podcaster to her resume. She and her husband, Chris, host the podcast “Love & The Outcome,” which has recently featured interviews with author and fellow podcast host Jamie Ivey, author and speaker Carlos Whittaker and “The Bachelorette” Season 9 contestant Desiree Siegfried. Since its launch in September 2018, the podcast “Love & the Outcome” has amassed more than 10,000 subscribers.
