Podcast Guest

🎙 Welcome to the Next Yes Podcast

If you’re on this page, it means you’ve either said “yes” to joining us on the podcast — or you’re prayerfully considering it. Either way, we’re honored.
The Next Yes Podcast exists to tell stories of bold obedience to Jesus. Whether that “yes” took place in the boardroom, the classroom, the mission field, or your living room, we believe your story can encourage others to take their next bold step of faith too.

This is where we equip you with everything you need to show up confident, prepared, and relaxed.

🔥 What is The Next Yes?

We believe that kingdom movements begin with simple acts of obedience — one “yes” at a time.
That’s why we’re building a library of real stories from real people — leaders, creatives, risk-takers, parents, missionaries, and entrepreneurs — all living on mission in whatever sphere God has placed them.

Your “yes” is part of that story. And others are waiting on the other side of it.

🎧 What to Expect from the Interview

• Casual conversation — not a performance. It’s just us, listening well and pulling out the gold in your journey.

• Story-first format — We’ll walk through key moments in your story, anchoring them to the bigger picture of what God’s been doing in and through your life.

• No pressure. No surprises. If there’s anything off-limits, you can let us know ahead of time.

✍️ How to Prepare

Here’s what we’ll ask you to reflect on ahead of time:

• What’s one moment where God clearly invited you to say “yes” to something risky or counter-cultural?

• What doors opened (or closed) after that yes?

• Who was impacted by your obedience — even if you didn’t see it right away?

• How have you wrestled with fear, doubt, provision, or identity along the way?

• What’s your current “next yes”?

• What would you say to someone who is sensing God is calling them to a next step?

If you’re in business or the marketplace, we may explore how faith integrates with your work. If you’re in missions or ministry, we may highlight some of the cost, the call, and the fruit you’ve seen. Wherever your “yes” happens, we want to shine a light on it.
