In this episode of Say Yes with Cali and Jess, we’re sitting down with Brandon Mcmillion for a conversation about what it really looks like to grow and mature in your faith. We talk about becoming the person God has called you to be, the power and responsibility we have to make choices that shape who we become, and why we can’t do it alone. Brandon shares about the importance of community, stepping outside of your comfort zone even when anxiety wants to hold you back, and learning to say yes when God is calling you into something new.

We also hear Brandon’s story of how he got started in social media and how God has used his platform to reach an entirely new demographic of people with the Gospel. This conversation is a reminder that your influence may look different than you expected, but God can use your story, your gifts, and your yes to reach people you never thought you could.

This week on Say Yes with Cali & Jess, we sat down with Amy Canning — wife, mom of four, educator, and Christ follower — to hear the story of a yes she never could have imagined would become her own. What began as an unexpected step of obedience became a journey of adoption, faith, surrender, and learning to trust God in the middle of the unknown.

We talk about the highs and lows of adoption, the unexpected twists along the way, and the moments when God was orchestrating pieces of her story behind the scenes that she couldn't yet see. Amy shares what it looks like to hold onto God's goodness when life doesn't unfold the way we imagined, and how even in the hardest seasons, His plans are still good and His faithfulness never wavers.

We also dive into the importance of finding and being rooted in godly community — the kind of people who show up, pray with you, carry you through difficult seasons, and remind you of truth when you struggle to see it for yourself.

This conversation is such a beautiful reminder that our yes doesn't have to come with a complete picture of what's ahead. Sometimes obedience means taking the next step and trusting that the God who sees the whole story is already working out the details.

Tune in for a conversation about unexpected yeses, God's faithfulness, the beauty of community, and trusting the Author of our story even when we can't see what He's writing next.
