Faith Over Logic: Wild Obedience Stories That Unlock Breakthrough – Episode 533

In this episode, I’m diving into what it looks like to walk in obedience to God—even when it makes absolutely no sense. I’m sharing some real and raw stories from my own life—like the crazy call to go to Africa, shutting down a million-dollar business, and leading an impartation service in a country where ministry is illegal. We’re also looking at biblical obedience through the story of Noah and how saying "yes" can unlock wild favor and fruit.

If you’ve ever felt unqualified, unsure, or stuck in fear, this episode is your reminder that obedience unlocks breakthrough.

Say Yes First: Obedience, Even When It Doesn’t Make Sense

Let me take you behind the scenes of some of the wildest, most faith-stretching moments of my life—times when God asked me to say “yes” before I had a clue how things would work out. These stories are proof that obedience doesn’t have to make sense for God to move in powerful ways.

✦ From College Athlete to Africa Bound
God told me to go to Africa—despite no time, no connections, and zero logic behind it. He removed every roadblock and provided a way through divine connections and favor.
✦ Noah and the Ark: Faith That Looks Crazy
Noah’s story in Genesis 6–9 is such a powerful reminder of obedience. Even when everyone around him doubted, he followed God’s instructions—and it saved his family.
✦ When God Said to Shut It All Down
God told me to shut down my million-dollar business. It didn’t make sense at the time, but that obedience opened the door to deeper ministry and spiritual growth.
✦ Feeling Unqualified? You’re in Good Company
Whether it was leading a service I’d never done before or stepping into something totally new, I’ve learned that obedience isn’t about qualifications—it’s about trusting God to show up.
✦ Supernatural Moments from Saying Yes
From hands covered in oil and gold dust to miraculous healings overseas, I’ve seen incredible things happen when I simply said yes—even when I felt totally unprepared.

Practical Takeaways: What Obedience Looks Like in Real Life

✦ Say Yes Before You See the Outcome – God often gives the “what” before the “how.” Obedience opens the door for God to work.
✦ Be Willing to Change Your Plans – I shifted my entire college major and career path based on one word from God.
✦ Invite God Into Your Decisions – Seek Him first, get confirmation through prayer and wise counsel.
✦ Don’t Wait to Feel Ready – You’ll rarely feel 100% ready. Trust that if God calls you, He will equip you.
✦ Reflect on Past Obedience – Look back on what God has done before to build your faith for the next yes.
✦ Watch for the Fruit – Favor, supernatural provision, and growth often follow obedience—even if the journey is messy.
