Into the Journey of Yes w/ Brenda Palmer

I'll Just Let Myself In

We explore the true meaning of radical obedience, diving into why it's not about what we get from God but rather about who we meet through the process. Brenda Palmer shares her journey of writing "The Journey of Yes" and how obedience transforms from obligation into adventure when we understand God as our source.
• Obedience to God is countercultural in a world that celebrates independence and self-determination
• The joy of obedience comes from pleasing God, not from circumstances or outcomes
• Leaning on our own understanding about a future we can't control is unstable and leads to anxiety
• Radical obedience reveals the difference between godly ambition and selfish ambition
• Including the Holy Spirit in daily decisions trains us to hear His voice during crucial moments
• True discipleship requires both being discipled and discipling others
• God often removes things we depend on to show that He alone is our source
• Surrendering to God doesn't mean abandoning dreams but allowing Him to purify our motives
• Finding contentment in singleness allows undivided devotion to God's calling
• The ultimate measure of success isn't audience response but whether God is pleased
