Where Do We Go From Here?

Can You Still Follow God After Church Trauma? A conversation with Brenda Palmer


Listen Later

What happens when saying yes to God means leaving behind everything you built — and trusting Him in the silence?

In this deeply moving episode, Jessica talks with evangelist, author, and podcast host Brenda Palmer about her upcoming book The Journey of Yes. But this conversation goes far beyond the book.

Brenda opens up about growing up in purity culture, losing her church community after choosing to speak out, walking away from a thriving career, and learning to hear God's voice in the wilderness of financial uncertainty and emotional pain.

With wisdom, joy, and radical honesty, she reminds us:

  • That hearing from God is a process, not a lightning bolt

  • That obedience isn't about transaction, but transformation

  • And that our trauma doesn't disqualify us — it's often where God meets us

Whether you've walked away from church, are learning to trust God again, or are somewhere in between, this conversation is a breath of Spirit-filled air.
