    A Trustworthy Yes.

    A Trustworthy Yes | The Journey of Yes Podcast What do you do when God tells you to go, but doesn't tell you how it's all going to work out? In this deeply personal solo episode of The Journey of Yes, Brenda Palmer invites you into her new home and shares the incredible testimony of how God made a way when every door seemed to be closing. From moving to Dallas without a plan to facing housing uncertainty, denied applications, and an impossible deadline, Brenda shares what it looks like to trust God when obedience leads you beyond your own ability to figure things out. But this story is about more than getting the keys to a house. It's about learning to be planted after years of being on the move, allowing God to heal the places we've learned to protect, embracing community again, and discovering that God's greatest work isn't always in what He's calling us to do, but in who He's forming us to become. Sometimes God doesn't give us the full picture because He's inviting us to trust the One who already sees it. Whether you're navigating uncertainty, rebuilding after disappointment, or struggling to take the next step of obedience, this conversation is a reminder that God is just as faithful in the middle of your story as He is at the end. You don't have to figure it all out. You just have to trust the One who called you. Scripture: Proverbs 3:5–6 | Luke 5:1–11 Join Brenda as she continues the everyday adventure of radical obedience, one yes at a time.

    A Surrendered Yes.

    What happens when God asks for a yes you don’t want to give? In this episode of The Journey of Yes, Brenda Palmer sits down with Lady Felicia Campbell for an honest conversation about surrender, obedience, control, and learning to trust God enough to follow Him even when His direction is uncomfortable. They share personal stories of resisting God’s instruction, the unnecessary pain that can come with delayed obedience, and the safety found in allowing God to lead the first time. They also discuss why surrender requires more than giving God an assignment or calling. It requires giving Him access to our decisions, relationships, plans, reputation, and ultimately our entire lives. Because yes isn’t only reserved for the things we want to do. Yes is our response to Jesus every time. And sometimes the greatest question isn’t simply, “What will this cost me?” but, “Who could be impacted if I refuse to obey?” A Surrendered YesFeaturing Lady Felicia Campbell

    A Creative Yes.

    What does it look like to surrender your creativity to God? In Episode 4 of The Journey of Yes, Brenda Palmer sits down with creative entrepreneur Kendra Taul for a conversation about creativity, business, influence, identity, and partnering with the Holy Spirit. Kendra shares how God took her from survival mode into building a growing creative platform, not through chasing trends or opportunities, but by inviting Him into the process and asking, “What do You want to do with this?” Together, they unpack the responsibility that comes with influence, developing your gifts with excellence, protecting what you consume, navigating hard seasons, and learning when God is giving you a new strategy for a new season. They also challenge creatives to move beyond individualism, competition, and hustle and rediscover the power of holiness, service, surrender, and community. Because a creative yes isn’t simply asking God to bless your ideas. It’s giving Him access to your imagination, your gifts, your business, your platform, and your plans.

    An Open-Handed Yes.

    What does it mean to give God an open-handed yes? In Episode 3 of The Journey of Yes, Brenda Palmer sits down with Apostle Sherman and Dr. Jaquet Dumas for a conversation about surrender, marriage, ministry, accountability, and trusting God with the unknown. The Dumases share how their journey has required them to hold their plans loosely, from leaving a life they loved in California to build in Dallas, to navigating unexpected disappointment in ministry and continuing to trust what God said when the process didn’t look how they imagined. They also get candid about championing one another in marriage, embracing your unique identity, having people in your life who can correct you, and becoming comfortable enough with failure to simply admit, “I got it wrong.” Because an open-handed yes isn’t just being willing to receive whatever God has next. Sometimes it means being willing to release what He gave you before. If God is calling you into the unknown, this conversation is for you.

    A Faithful Yes.

    What does it mean to remain faithful when quitting would be easier? On Episode 2 of The Journey of Yes, Brenda sits down with her mentor, Prophetess Barbara Calloway for a powerful conversation about commitment, prayer, and giving God your whole heart. They unpack faithfulness in a culture of convenience, what it takes to stay committed through difficult seasons, and how prayer becomes more than asking God for something. It becomes the foundation of knowing Him. Prophetess Calloway also reflects on more than 15 years of ministyr and the lessons she has learned about consistency, covenant, and obedience. Because every yes asks something of us, and every faithful yes prepares us for the next one.

    Saying Yes Again.

    After a year and a half away from podcasting, Brenda Palmer is back behind the mic. In the first episode of The Journey of Yes, Brenda reflects on moving from LA to Dallas, navigating a deeply personal cave season, rebuilding community, and learning how to obey God when you don’t have all the pieces. She shares what it looked like to confront isolation, transition, and the pressure to always be productive, while discovering who God is apart from platform, ministry, or assignment. Sometimes saying yes doesn’t come with a clear plan. Sometimes God asks you to plant, wait, heal, and trust Him before you understand what He’s doing. If you’re in a season of transition, rebuilding, surrender, or trying to find the courage to take your next step, this episode is for you. The Journey of Yes is the everyday adventure of continually choosing God, especially when you don’t know where your yes will lead.
