Simple Yes

It’s easy to get caught up in trying to do everything “right”. To meet the expectations we place on ourselves and measure our worth by how well we’re keeping up. But what if the invitation isn’t perfection… it’s perspective?In this episode, Jess and Mel talk about what it means to seek what’s above: to lift our eyes from the pressure of getting everything just right and refocus on Jesus. When we keep our gaze on Him, our decisions begin to shift. We stop striving to control every detail and start allowing Him to guide what we say yes to, what we let go of, and how we tend the “gardens” of our lives.We don’t need to have it all figured out. We just need to stay close to the One who does, and trust Him to lead us, one faithful step at a time. 👍 Be sure to like and subscribe for new episodes and updates!▶️ Watch full episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎶 Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AudioCoffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Sin isn’t always just about what we see on the surface, it often points to something deeper. In this episode, Jess and Mel are back in the garden to explore how these deeper roots of our sins shape our habits, influence our thoughts, and even impact the people around us. Sometimes in ways we don’t even realize.When you're at the surface, it's easy to justify certain patterns or minimize their effects, but real freedom comes not just from removing the behavior, but from understanding what’s underneath it. Join us as we talk about practical and prayerful ways to step out of those cycles—through awareness, accountability, and a willingness to surrender to God’s will.If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same patterns or wondered why certain struggles keep resurfacing, this conversation is an invitation to go deeper. Because healing begins at the root. 👍 Be sure to like and subscribe for new episodes and updates!▶️ Watch full episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎶 Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AudioCoffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Our sins are so much like weeds, entangled in a garden. Quietly taking root and crowding out the good God is trying to grow in us. Finding and uprooting them isn’t easy. It can be uncomfortable, messy, and even a little painful.Sometimes it starts just by admitting what needs to go, and trusting God enough to help you remove it. To create space for something new and beautiful to grow. But just as important is what comes next: the waiting.Instead of rushing to fill the space, we’re invited to pause, be still, and let God do what only He can. 🌱🤍👍 Be sure to like and subscribe for new episodes and updates!▶️ Watch full episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠🎶 Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AudioCoffee⁠⁠⁠⁠

Big decisions, small decisions - and everything in between - can feel heavy when we believe it all depends on us. In this episode, Jess and Mel reflect on what it looks like to release that pressure and truly let God take the lead. They talk about how the Lord is always guiding us through gentle prompts, quiet nudges, and moments of clarity if we’re willing to slow down and listen. And when we choose to follow with obedient, trusting hearts, we begin to realize we were never meant to carry it all on our own. Whether you’re facing something big or just navigating the everyday, this conversation is a reminder that God is not only leading the way - He’s carrying the weight, too. 🤍👍 Be sure to like and subscribe for new episodes and updates!▶️ Watch full episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠⁠🎶 Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AudioCoffee⁠⁠⁠

Life rarely feels perfectly settled. There’s always something that feels unfinished, uncertain, or in need of fixing. Jess and Mel reflect on the realization that complete peace and perfection aren’t things we’ll ever fully achieve in this life — because that’s the promise of heaven.So often we spend our energy trying to control every outcome, solve every problem, and smooth over every difficult moment. But what if, instead of striving for perfection, we are being asked to practice surrender?As Lent invites us deeper into trust, let's explore what it looks like to let God take the lead in the midst of life’s unrest. To release the pressure to make everything right and instead rest in the truth that through every circumstance, He has us 🤍13:00 - Take A Moment👍 Be sure to like and subscribe for new episodes and updates!▶️ Watch full episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠🎶 Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AudioCoffee⁠⁠

As we walk into a new season of Simple Yes, we are looking at how our "yes" has changed and evolved since the beginning of the show. How as we've experienced spiritual growth, we've gained a new, quiet confidence. Fewer reassurances needed, more willingness to faithfully follow.We also look at how before we say "yes" to anything, it’s worth asking a simple but powerful question: who is this yes for? Is it rooted in God’s invitation, or shaped more by the expectations, pressures, and noise of the world around us? We invite our listeners to explore that tension and how discerning the direction of our yes can change not only our decisions, but the peace we carry within them.Whether big or small, visible or hidden, each yes offered to God becomes part of the mission He is unfolding in and through us.👍 Be sure to like and subscribe for new episodes and updates!▶️ Watch full episodes on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Follow us on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠🎶 Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AudioCoffee⁠

Throughout Scripture, God calls His people to tear down false altars and rely on Him alone. But in today's modern world, we still find ourselves building altars to false idols. Altars around success, comfort, control, or recognition. Things that seem to promise fulfillment but ultimately leave us empty.In this episode, Jess and Mel talk about what false altars can look like in our everyday lives, how to recognize when something has taken God’s place in our hearts, and the freedom that comes when we let Him reclaim the center."Little children, keep yourselves from idols" (1 John 5:21)Be sure to like and subscribe for new episodes and updates!Full episodes and videos on ⁠simple-yes.com⁠Follow us on ⁠Instagram⁠ for bonus content and more at instagram.com/simple.yes.showMusic by AudioCoffee: https://www.audiocoffee.net/

In this episode, Mel and Jess explore ways to embrace humility over pride. From the need to be consulted in things to the fear of being forgotten, humility is an opportunity to remember this simple truth: everything we have — our gifts, our time, our very lives — is from God and for God. And God's way is always better than our own.Accepting humility isn't about putting ourselves down. It’s about opening our hearts to see what God has placed inside us — gifts we might have missed if we were too busy chasing our own plans. If we can make space for His design to unfold in our lives, we can begin to see that He’s written a beautiful story for each of us. 💜#SimpleYes #ChoosingHumility #FaithJourney #CatholicPodcast_____________________________Show notes: (2:50) Litany of Humility prayer(8:50) Litany of Humility song(19:10) E13: Becoming Who You're Meant to Be
