The Yadah Podcast is a faith-based Christian podcast featuring conversations about what it looks like to follow God in real life. From career and relationships to identity and purpose, each episode weaves in lived experiences and honest dialogue to help navigate life with intention. Yadah is the Hebrew word for thanks and surrender. At our core, we believe our lives are meant to be lived in grateful response to who God is and what He has already done. While these conversations are relevant to anyone seeking clarity and conviction, they are especially for young adults learning to keep Jesus at the center.

    Blessed Are The Peacemakers | Forgiveness, Forbearance & The Healing Process ft. Ayobami Sanusi

    She said the salvation prayer at 12 years old. It took her 10 more years — and a complete breaking point — to actually mean it. In this episode of The Yadah Podcast, I sit down with Ayobami for an honest, layered conversation about identity, forgiveness, discernment, and what it really looks like to walk fully with God after years of living in two worlds at once. If you've ever said the salvation prayer without meaning it, struggled to forgive someone who hurt you, or wondered how to hear from God in your relationships and decisions, this episode is for you. Ayobami shares her story of growing up in an interfaith household, giving her life to Christ as a preteen without it changing anything, and the decade that followed — searching for safety in friendships, achievements, and relationships before finally surrendering everything at her lowest point. We talk about what she had to unlearn about her own identity, the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, the danger of what she calls "unnecessary healing," and how to actually discern the voice of the Holy Spirit in relationships, hurt, and hard decisions. This is a conversation about the long, often messy process of really knowing who you are in God — not the version people present online, but the real, sometimes painful work of healing and discernment. 🎙 Find The Yadah Podcast everywhere else: https://beacons.ai/yadahpod 💬 Have you ever had a "10 years later" moment — where something finally clicked after years of going through the motions?

    In One Accord | A Family's Faith Journey ft. The Royers

    Three siblings. One household. Three completely different journeys to faith — including one shaped by grief, doubt, and a conversation with God after losing their sister. In this episode of The Yadah Podcast, I sit down with the Royer family — Deborah, Gideon, and Joshua — for a deeply personal conversation about what it actually looks like to grow up in a Christian home and still have to choose faith for yourself. If you've ever wrestled with faith inherited from your parents, struggled with family conflict, or wondered what it really looks like to walk with God as a family faithfully, this conversation is for you. The Royers open up about the moment each of them truly made faith their own — not their parents' faith, but theirs — including the heartbreaking story of losing their older sister and the honest conversation that followed with God. We talk about prophetic parenting, the power of speaking life over your children before they're even born, what it looks like when siblings disagree in the Spirit, and the importance of forgiveness and healing within family — even in a Christian family. This episode also gets into real talk about bitterness, walking through unresolved family tension, and why God can heal even the most strained relationships if you're willing to take the first step.

    Delay Is Not Denial | Faith, Family & The Cost of Obedience ft. TK & Tlholo Mabelane

    They sold their house. They sold their car. They said yes to God's leading and got ready to move their family across the world. Then COVID happened. In this episode of The Yadah Podcast, I sit down with TK and Tlholo, a couple who left successful careers, a close-knit church family, and a comfortable life in South Africa to move to Boston in obedience to what they describe as a series of quiet nudges and confirmations from God. If you've ever made a faith decision that got harder before it got easier, or wondered whether you really heard from God when everything seemed to fall apart right after — this episode is for you. They share what it actually looked like to discern God's leading without a clear "voice," what it meant to count the cost before moving, and the disorienting season that followed when the pandemic delayed everything they had already sacrificed for. We talk about the temptation to doubt, what it means to stay present in uncertainty, the surprising lesson Tlholo learned about rest after losing her ability to work, and why they believe obedience is the real goal of the Christian life. This is a conversation about trust when the timeline doesn't make sense, about counting the cost of following God, and about what it really means to seek God Himself rather than just His blessings. 🎙 Find The Yadah Podcast everywhere else: https://beacons.ai/yadahpod 💬 Have you ever stepped out in faith only to have everything seem to fall apart right after?

    Worth the Wait | Faith, Patience & Trusting God's Timing in Love ft. Michael Wilson

    He waited two years to tell her how he felt. By the time he did, she was already dating someone else.  In this episode of The Yadah Podcast, I sit down with Michael Wilson — campus minister at UNC Chapel Hill since 2009 — for an honest, sometimes hilarious, deeply moving conversation about faith, risk, waiting on God, and what it looked like to pursue the woman who became his wife.  If you've ever struggled with waiting, taking risks, rejection, or trusting that God is preparing something good even when it doesn't look like it — this conversation is for you. You'll learn how to steward the waiting season, what it looks like to hear God's voice, and tidbits on pursuit with the intention of marriage. Michael shares his unlikely journey to ministry, growing up with intense social anxiety, almost walking away from his faith in college, and the years-long, painfully confusing road to being with his wife Grace — including the email he sent saying he "just saw her as friends," the heartbreak that followed when she started dating someone else, and the late-night phone call that changed everything. We also dig into what it really means to trust God's timing, how to take risks without certainty, the danger of putting all your emotional needs on one person, and Michael's practical approach to cultivating gratitude even when life doesn't feel good. 🎙 Find The Yadah Podcast everywhere else: https://beacons.ai/yadahpod 💬 Have you ever had to wait on something you really wanted, not knowing how it would turn out?

    Embracing the Waiting Season | Faith, Writing & Trusting God's Plan ft. Tarari Kalango

    She quit her job in London with nothing lined up. Three months of unemployment followed. And she wouldn't change a thing. ➡️ In this episode of The Yadah Podcast, I sit down with writer, blogger, and professional Tarari Kalango for a deeply honest conversation about faith, career transitions, creativity, and what it really means to trust God when the path isn't clear. Tarari shares the story behind leaving her consulting job in London after feeling a strong conviction from God — before having another role secured. What followed was three months of unemployment that she now looks back on as one of the most meaningful seasons of her life. From bonding with family to hosting church small groups to walking into a role that moved her to the US in two weeks — this is a story about what obedience and faith actually look like in real life. We also get into her journey as a writer, the story behind her Substack blog "God Bless These 20 Somethings," why she believes writing is 90% reading, and the advice her mother gave her about the "destination mentality" — the dangerous idea that happiness is always waiting at the next destination. If you're in a season of uncertainty, waiting on God, navigating a career transition, or trying to figure out what to do with a creative gift, this conversation will speak directly to you. 💛 Check out Tarari's blog "God Bless These 20 Somethings" on Substack: https://tararikalango.substack.com/ 🌍 Find The Yadah Podcast everywhere: https://beacons.ai/yadahpod ✅ Subscribe to The Yadah Podcast and turn on notifications so you never miss a new episode: https://www.youtube.com/@yadahpod?sub_confirmation=1 --------------- 🎙️ Welcome to the official YouTube channel of The Yadah Podcast, a faith-based podcast where real stories reveal the goodness and faithfulness of God.

    When God Calls You to Let Go of Your Dream Job | Hearing God, Faith & Life Decisions ft. Tome Buluku

    God spoke to him in a dream… and he said no to his dream job. ➡️ In this episode of The Yadah Podcast, we sit down with Tome Buluku for a very real and honest conversation about faith, purpose, and what it actually looks like to follow God when it doesn’t make logical sense. Tome shares his journey from Nigeria to the UK and now the US, studying at Harvard and Wharton, building a career in consulting, and being faced with opportunities most people would say yes to immediately. But in the middle of all of that, he felt God calling him in a different direction and had to make a decision that required faith, obedience, and trust. If you’ve ever wondered how to hear God’s voice, how to make big life decisions as a Christian, or how faith connects to your career and purpose, this conversation will speak directly to you. We talk about hearing God through prayer, dreams, and quiet moments, and why sometimes clarity doesn’t come the way we expect. As Tome puts it, “Prayer opens up realities to you that you didn’t even know you needed” ➡️ This episode also dives into faith and mental health, the role of therapy in personal growth, mentorship, leadership through service, and what it means to live with intention as a young Christian navigating real life. It’s not about having everything figured out, it’s about learning to trust God step by step. If you’re in a season where you’re searching for direction, questioning your next move, or trying to understand God’s timing, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. 🌍 Find us everywhere else: https://beacons.ai/yadahpod 💬 Have you ever felt like God was asking you to walk away from something you really wanted?
