A True Story of Saying Yes to God and Stepping Into the Life You Were Designed For

What if everything changed with one simple “yes”? In When Jesus Shows Up in Skinny Jeans, author and ministry leader Emily Smith shares a powerful and deeply personal journey from surface-level belief to intimate relationship with Jesus. With vulnerability and prophetic insight, she invites readers into a story of radical transformation—a life awakened by the voice of God and led by the Holy Spirit.

This book is not a collection of spiritual clichés or formulas. It’s an invitation. A raw and honest testimony of what happens when you stop observing God through the lens of religion and begin experiencing Him as a living, present, and personal Savior.

Through Emily’s story, you will be encouraged to:

• Recognize and respond to God’s voice
• Overcome spiritual mediocrity and religious routine
• Embrace the identity and authority Jesus has given you
• Say “yes” to the life you were designed to live

Whether you're feeling stuck in your faith, hungry for more of God, or unsure how to walk closely with Him in everyday life, this book is a timely reminder: Jesus meets us right where we are—and He always comes to transform.
