NextYes - Podcast Guest Prep Page

Welcome! We're so excited to have you join us on the NextYes Podcast.

This conversation is about your journey of saying yes to Jesus—and how that obedience is unfolding through your missionary calling.

The goal is to encourage others to pray, give, or go as they consider their own "next yes."

What to Expect

Interview Style: Casual, story-driven, and heart-focused.

Time: Most interviews last 45–120 minutes.

Format: Recorded video call. We’ll guide the flow—you don’t need to prep answers in advance.

Purpose: We want your real stories. Your highs, lows, wrestlings, and revelations will help others take their next step with God.

Sample Questions We May Ask

These questions help guide the conversation. You don’t need to prep for all of them—just let the Spirit lead. Be ready to share real stories, even if they feel raw, funny, or unfinished.

1. Life Before the Call

  • What was life like before missions was on your radar?

  • Was there a “first small yes” that changed things?

2. When God Interrupted

  • Was there a moment God disrupted your plans?

  • What did obedience look like when it didn’t make sense?

3. Wrestling with the Cost

  • What was hard to let go of?

  • Was there ever a time you thought, “What have we done?”

4. Conflict in the Field

  • Share a moment when something failed—and what God did through it.

  • What’s been the loneliest part of the journey?

5. Breakthroughs and Fruit

  • What keeps you going?

  • Has anyone spoken a word that confirmed your calling?

6. Discipleship and Multiplication

  • What does discipleship look like in your context?

  • What seeds have you planted that you may never see grow?

7. Invitation to the Listener

  • What do you say to someone afraid to say yes to Jesus?

  • What simple next steps can they take today?

Tips for Recording

  • Find a quiet space with good lighting (if video).

  • Use headphones if possible to reduce echo.

  • Be yourself. Real stories matter more than polished ones.

  • If you’re unsure about anything we record, we can edit it out.
