In this episode, I sit down with author and speaker Brenda Palmer to talk about her new book, The Journey of Yes: The Everyday Adventure of Radical Obedience. Brenda shares what it’s like to really say “yes” to God, especially when the outcome is uncertain. We talk about her unexpected journey into ministry, how she wrestles with insecurity, and why she’s learning to trust God even when life feels unstable. Brenda gets real about the cost of obedience, the pressure of the platform, and the beauty of simply following God’s lead.  If you’ve ever found yourself in a season of transition, wondering what’s next, or struggling to believe you’re enough for what God’s calling you to do, this conversation is for you.

What does it really mean to live on brand as a woman of faith? In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about aligning your life with your God-given calling, embracing who you really are, and serving others in a way that leaves a lasting mark. This isn’t about performance, it’s about purpose.  If you’ve ever wondered how to live with intention, how to be more authentic, or how to walk confidently in your calling, this conversation is for you. I break down the three “house rules” for living on brand: alignment, authenticity, and impact. I also talk about why community and discipleship matter so much, especially when your light feels dim and you need to borrow someone else’s. Your personal brand is not about perfection. It’s about showing up with intentionality, being who God created you to be, and letting that authenticity influence the world around you. Let God use you, exactly where you are, exactly how He made you. And trust, your life will make a mark that matters. Highlights from Today’s Episode Align with God’s calling  Embrace authenticity for influence Make a lasting mark Related Resources Building a personal brand starts with knowing who God says you are.  Rejection doesn’t have to stop you from living an on-brand life. Here’s how to overcome rejection. Have you found yourself drifting from the brand that you’ve established for yourself? It’s time to reengage with your life.  CLICK HERE FOR FULL SHOW NOTES The post #523 – Living On Brand: Aligning Your Life with God’s Calling first appeared on Chrystal Evans Hurst.
