In this episode of Say Yes with Cali and Jess, we sit down with Bethany Collins to talk about her unique yes to God. Bethany is actively living out her yes, even though she doesn’t have all the answers yet. She talks about how God is just as present in the in-between as He is in the destination.

We talk about the importance of knowing who you are no matter where God has placed you, what season you’re walking through, or what you’re doing. You are more than your job, your title, your circumstances, or your current season. Your identity is found in who God has called you to be.

This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to say yes—and that God is with you every step of the way.

In this episode of Say Yes with Cali & Jess, we sit down with Michaela Huff—a wife, mother, and teacher—to talk about what happens when the perfect plan we have for our lives doesn’t look anything like the plan God has for us.

Michaela vulnerably shares her journey through pregnancy loss, the hardships and heartbreak she faced along the way, and the beautiful ways God has rewritten her story in ways she never could have imagined. We talk about motherhood, raising children who aren’t just “church kids” but true disciples of Jesus, and the importance of building a faith that goes beyond Sunday mornings.

We also dive into the tension between perfectionism and trusting God, and how sometimes our desire to have everything perfectly planned can keep us from fully surrendering to His plan. If you’ve ever looked at your life and wondered, “Okay God… what’s the plan here?”, this episode is for you.

In this week’s episode, we sat down with Chad Robbins to talk about his series of yeses and the yeses that other people said that had a direct impact on his life. We dive into the idea that your yes really has nothing to do with you, but everything to do with what God wants to do through you. It’s easy to get caught up in insecurity, but what about our character? We talk about what it looks like to say yes even when we don’t feel qualified, comfortable, or confident. Plus, there are plenty of laughs, some energy drink jokes, and even an original song along the way. You definitely don’t want to miss this episode!

What do you do when God asks you to say yes, but the yes doesn’t make sense?

This week, we’re sitting down with Vanessa Rector: wife, mom, and incredible worship leader, to talk about the series of yeses that have shaped her story. Some of those yeses have been uncomfortable. Some have required her to step out before she felt ready. And some still don’t completely make sense because she’s still waiting to see what God is doing on the other side.

Vanessa shares what it looks like to trust God in the unknown, to keep saying yes when you haven’t seen the fruit yet, and to believe that God is always working, even when you can’t see it. If you’re in a season where you’ve said yes to God but you’re still waiting to understand why, this episode is for you.

In this week’s episode, Cali and Jessica sit down with Darla Robbins—and wow, there is so much goodness in this conversation.

Darla shares her powerful, radical “Saul to Paul” transformation and how one yes to God completely changed the trajectory of her life. From her journey in ministry to meeting her husband Chad, every part of her story is marked by surrender and trust.

We talk all things saying yes, walking through waiting seasons, staying present in the process, and trusting that God’s plan is better than anything we could write ourselves. Darla reminds us that your calling might not look like anyone else’s—and that’s not just okay, it’s intentional. You are exactly where you’re supposed to be.

If you’re in a season of waiting, questioning, or learning to surrender, this one is for you. You don’t want to miss it.

This week, we sat down with Sherri Porterfield to talk about all things “yes.”

Sherri shares her story of wrestling with the question, “Why me?”—why would God use someone ordinary and seemingly unqualified for an extraordinary purpose? She walks through how God shifted her perspective to “Why not me?” and the reality that when God calls you, your response matters. If you don’t step into what He has for you, someone else will.

This conversation is a reminder that you are chosen for such a time as this.

Sherri also opens up about her growth through comparison, navigating anxiety, and what it looked like to step into leading a women’s ministry. And of course, there are some unfiltered, honest, and lighthearted moments along the way.

You don’t want to miss this one.

This week, we decided to switch things up and say no.

Jessica and Cali sit down for a very unhinged solo episode, taking a look at several stories in the Bible where people chose disobedience—and what happened because of it. From missed opportunities to difficult consequences, they talk through how saying no to God can impact our lives and our relationship with Him in ways we don’t always expect.

It’s honest, a little chaotic, and definitely different from our usual conversations—but still full of moments that will make you think and maybe even challenge the way you respond when God calls you to something.

And before you get too concerned… Happy April Fools. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled yeses next week!
