What does it really mean to say yes to God? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Brenda Palmer to talk about radical obedience, trusting God's leading, and walking by faith when you don't have all the answers. Brenda shares lessons from her book The Journey of Yes and opens up about the challenges, disappointments, and unexpected blessings that can come when we follow God's voice.  Together, we discuss why obedience often requires trust before clarity, what happens when our obedience is misunderstood by others, and how God often uses unexpected seasons to prepare us for what's next.  If you’ve ever wrestled with a difficult decision, wondered whether you can trust God’s direction, or found yourself standing between what feels comfortable and what God is asking you to do, I believe this conversation will encourage you.

Time management, intentional living, and stewardship are at the heart of this week's episode. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, exhausted, or frustrated by how quickly life is moving, this conversation is for you. In this episode, I'm talking about the ways our lives can slowly drift when we stop living intentionally. From overcommitment and people-pleasing to endless scrolling, burnout, and inconsistent habits, this episode will challenge you to stop reacting to life and start stewarding your time, energy, and priorities with wisdom. Real transformation rarely happens through giant moments. More often, it's built through small daily choices repeated consistently over time.  If you've been wanting healthier rhythms, more peace, stronger boundaries, or simply a life that feels more aligned with your priorities, I hope this episode encourages and challenges you.

For they may say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.' ” And the LORD asked him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied. “Throw it on the ground,” said the LORD. So Moses threw it on the ground, and it became a snake, and he ran from it. “Stretch out your hand and grab it by the tail,” the LORD said to Moses, who reached out his hand and caught the snake, and it turned back into a staff in his hand. “This is so that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.”   Romans 5:5 – “And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”    Romans 8:28 – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

And I'm confident that God can use those challenges for your good and for the good of others. Ask God to show you how.Consider the ways in which you have been critical of how God made you.

Anthony Evans joins the conversation this week to talk all things Going Beyond and growing up in a ministry family, which includes his father, Dr. Tony Evans, and sister Priscilla Shirer. Anthony leads worship and Priscilla teaches at Going Beyond events, and Anthony share how special that sibling relationship is to him. He also tells us some fun behind-the-scenes stories of working in the music industry, such as being "The Beast" in Beauty and the Beast at the Hollywood Bowl and an unexpected encounter with James Corden at a nail salon. RESOURCES: Going Beyond Simulcast James Corden video MARKED is a podcast from Lifeway Women: https://women.lifeway.com/blog/podcasts/. Hosted by Kelly King and Elizabeth Hyndman. RECOMMENDED: Listen to an interview with Anthony's sister Priscilla Shirer about life in ministry as a family and finding identity in Christ. Growing up in a family of accomplished speakers and authors: father, Dr. Tony Evans, and siblings, Chrystal Evans Hurst, Priscilla Shirer, and Jonathan Evans; Anthony chose to be a worship leader, singer and producer. In a music industry with pre-defined sounds, Anthony decided to make his own path with his unique genre crossing, one-of-a-kind style. As the son of a world-renowned pastor, Anthony left the comforts of Dallas, Texas, (and the Bible-belt) and took his talent and entrepreneurial abilities to Los Angeles. For more than two decades, his career has been about breaking down walls and taking unexpected routes to bring his faith and influence and impact outside of the church walls.  This impact includes 10 solo records, two of which hit the #1 spot on Billboard's Top Gospel Album charts, Vocal production for TV/Film, record production, acting, songwriting, talent production, a starring role in Disney's Hollywood Bowl Production of Beauty and the Beast, and a spot on the hit TV show, The Voice. In addition to all of these endeavors, Anthony has written or co-written three books, the latest—When Faith Meets Therapy, with psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser. This project addresses the intersection of his faith with the practicality of psychotherapy.  In whatever he accomplishes, Anthony's desire is to share his life and authentic faith with transparency and honesty: “I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Phil. 1:6).

“Everybody is either in a battle, on their way to a battle or they just got out of one" -Jonathan EvansToday I sat down with Jonathan Evans and we talked about his new book, Fighting Your Battles: Every Chrisitan Playbook for Victory. Jonathan is a husband, father of five beautiful children, brother to Priscilla Shirer, Chrystal Evans Hurst and Anthony Evans and the son of Dr. Tony Evans. Jonathan is a former NFL player and he is now the chaplain of the Dallas Cowboys football team. Jonathan shares some of his personal battles on today's show and how he and his wife have preserved through them all. I know can we all agree with Jonathan that everyone is either in a battle, coming out of a battle or going through a battle so we need to know how to fight our battles so that we can be victorious. His new book Fighting Your Battles teaches us that the storm does not always stop when you take the faith step. We see this in Peter's story, he was walking on a storm when Jesus called him forward. As you trust God, Jonathan reminds us that it may still be stormy, but as you remain consistent in God's Word,  prayer, and worship, your yoke will be easier and you will experience less burden. You will be ready to fight your spiritual battles and know that you can be victorious after listening to today's episode. Connect with JamieFacebook //  Instagram // YouTubeGET ALL THE LINKS FROM THE SHOW HERE
