Saying yes before it all makes sense? Yeah, we've been there. When we felt God stirring our hearts to move to the beach, we had no plan, no promise it would work, and definitely no roadmap. What we did have was peace and a whole lot of unknowns. In this episode, we're letting you in on the honest, in-the-middle story of what it looked like to follow God when everything in us wanted to stay comfortable.

We're talking about the decision to leave our dream home, a beautiful life we had intentionally built over 6 years, and the people we loved like family… all for something that didn't even make sense on paper.

We wrestled with the tension of feeling both excited and heartbroken at the same time. And if you've ever felt stuck between what you know and what you sense God's asking, you're gonna relate to this one. We also share how saying yes opened the door to things we never could've planned, like putting our kids in school after years of homeschooling, working together again, and watching our marriage come back to life.

If you're in a season of transition (or feel one coming), you're not alone. We get it. We hope this episode reminds you that God doesn't always give the full picture, but He always gives the next step. And sometimes, the move that scares you most… is the one that leads to more than you ever imagined.

Memorable Quotes:

"The calling requires risk, and requires obedience and requires boldness, and oftentimes stepping out into things that feel really uncomfortable. But He's always with us. He never leaves us or forsakes us." [00:24:54] – Melissa Edmiston

"You can be called and still be confused. So many people assume clarity must come before commitment. And a lot of times God just doesn't work that way." [00:15:39] – Jonathan Edmiston
