    Checking Things off the 2025 ‘God Said’ List

    When it comes to stewarding our talents, if we waited until we were feeling 100% to act, we probably wouldn’t act that much. And the Bible doesn’t have examples of perfect apostles, right?  Peter and Paul were out there preaching the gospel probably with sore feet and dry skin because they lived for more than their comfort. So in this week's episode, let's talk about: 💗 Finishing our 2025 ‘God said’ lists 💗 Answering the “Where do you see this going?” question 💗 Getting in position for 2026 Lord, we know as we obey you, you’re preparing us for 2026 and beyond. We’re excited — and we love you. Join us ⁠⁠⁠⁠@the.yay.project⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠@yaypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠, and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠. 💗

    An Untraditional Advent Post

    As I sat down to prepare this episode, I asked God if I should skip this week. Ahead of the last few episodes, I felt lessons and experiments pour out! But this was one of those “I feel like I’m still going through it, not sure I have anything to say” kind of weeks. Then I felt him say to write from the heart… so here is an untraditional yet Advent-y episode about surrendering, obeying, and hoping in Jesus. Preparing for Jesus’s birthday is ultimately about giving him the glory due his name, amen? And sometimes, we need to go back to basics. Follow ⁠⁠⁠@the.yay.project⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠@yaypodcast⁠⁠⁠.

    Love Thy Neighbour in Need

    A few years ago, God highlighted to me that I wasn’t thinking about supporting community members in need as much as I should, especially since he clearly calls us to love our neighbour. Proverbs 28:27 says, “Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed.” Whoa! This language might be strong but isn’t meant to shame us. Rather when God highlights his will to us, we have an opportunity to respond, amen? In this episode, we’ll look at what God says about supporting people experiencing poverty; the impact of financial, gift-in-kind, and gently used donations; and how churches can help. I’ll also share a few stories from my work in the urban non-profit space this year along with a powerful new Fred Victor campaign that asks an important question during this gift-giving season: “What do you get the person who has nothing?” Follow ⁠⁠@the.yay.project⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@yaypodcast⁠⁠.

    Living With a Countenance That Reflects Christ

    While others may not know our every thought like God does, our countenance can still give away how we’re doing. Have you noticed how our emotional and spiritual state shows up in our facial expressions and overall demeanor? So during busy seasons where we’ll be seeing lots of people, we might want to put on our best self but if we’re faking it, cracks will show. Let’s talk about a better way — how time with God is the best preparation (beautification!) process and how it will give us the strength, courage, and peace to testify and shine God’s light in busy seasons and beyond.

    What’s Between the Roots and the Fruits?

    When we’re going through a loss, it takes time for our emotions to settle. Some days, we want to relive memories. Other days, we want to forget them. But what does God say is best? In this week’s experiment with God, we apply Philippians 3:13-14 and see what happens when we take God at his word to forget what’s behind and strain toward what's ahead. Lots of practical examples including my takeaways from a recent sermon from Cardinal Thomas Collins on why humans need to be ready for struggles because they are a part of life.

    Healing & Learning to Hope Again

    Let’s take a moment and reflect on what the Lord has done in 2025. We’re in the first few days of November, so maybe it feels a bit early — there are still two months left in the year! But are we maybe rushing to get through it so we can have a fresh start (fresh faith?) in 2026? In this episode, I share why I’m reflecting earlier than usual (preview: I had a tantrum with God, oops) and how God still has more healing and hope for us this season. We’ll cover Christian dating (and how to view that viral British Vogue article, “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?”), overcoming disappointment, finding a community of women in the same season, and be encouraged that maybe God didn’t answer our prayer for love this year, but just look at what he has done. God has more for us -- let us believe it and encourage one another. Follow @the.yay.project and @yaypodcast. Subscribe to our Substack. 💗

    Have questions about life things and need answers? Feeling like you’re not living up to your full potential? Wondering how to live and move more in line with the Spirit? A short testimony of how I spent a precious day off, not being “productive” like I originally thought, but through obedience not only was productive but obedient – aka where God wants me (and you!). I pray you’re encouraged to let God ignite this season of your life the way he wants and trust his ways and timing in all things because truly there is no better way.

    How to Live in the Heart of God’s Plan

    It's been three months since the last episode... and also three months since I started my new job! Coincidence? Nope… I’ve been giving my best at work and soaking in this sweet answered prayer, and would love to share my top three lessons, habits, and prayers from job hunting in 2025. If you’re in this stage and it's been tough, hold onto faith in God’s plan for you, you dearly loved child of God! May we remember God is preparing us for so much more than this next step and that there's no better place than being right in the heart of his plan.
