What happens when you finally say “yes” to God—even when it costs you something?

In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose speaks with Hyatt Moore, an 81-year-old man who shares his remarkable journey of dying to self, surrendering his plans, and following God one step at a time.

From a fast-rising career as an art director at Surfer Magazine, to decades of global ministry with Wycliffe Bible Translators, to becoming a full-time painter in his fifties, Hyatt’s life is a living testimony of what God can do with a willing heart.

Hyatt opens up about the moment he realized his life felt empty despite success, the wrestle of laying down his dreams, and the simple but costly prayer that changed everything: “Lord, I’ll serve You with my life—even if it’s boring.” What followed was a journey of trust, sacrifice, unexpected opportunities, and a hundredfold return.

If you’ve ever wondered how to discern God’s direction, what it really means to surrender your plans, or how to take that first step of faith when the path ahead feels uncertain, this conversation will encourage, challenge, and inspire you.

Wise words worth echoing:

• “Lord, I want to serve you through my life, even if it’s boring.”

• “I said, ‘Lord, you didn't give me very much talent.’ The Lord said, ‘I give seeds.’”

• “Dying to yourself every day is a joyful thing, not a murder.”

• “You can’t steer a parked car.”

• “Growth is so incremental that you don’t see it.”

• “Once you realize there's something you have to do, you do it. It doesn't matter if you're not getting encouragement.”

• “God has given this to me and if I don't do it, I'm not being faithful to the gift I've been given.”

• “You may not have the whole picture, but there's always a next step. What do you do with the next step?”
