🎙️ Yes, Lord! Seed 7 – Even When It Costs Me Everything


Listen Later

Saying “Yes, Lord” isn’t always safe, simple, or soft.

Sometimes it means surrendering the very thing you prayed for.
Sometimes it means trusting when the road ahead is falling apart beneath your feet.

In this raw and powerful episode, Shirene unpacks the reality of costly obedience—through the stories of the rich young ruler, Abraham and Isaac, and Paul’s shipwreck on the way to Rome. You'll hear what happens when obedience hurts, when obedience stretches, and when obedience leads straight into the fire.

This Seed also includes a deeply personal look into Shirene’s own journey—saying yes to a move from God that didn’t come with a plan, only the promise: “Trust Me.”

If you’ve ever felt like your obedience was met with hardship instead of reward—this episode is for you.
