Meditation: When the Yes Costs You Everything

Podcast Summary

Hey Dreamer,

Today is for the one whose yes feels like a cross.

Not just a checkbox. Not just a step.

But a surrender.

A real one. The kind that makes you hold your breath before you say it out loud.

Luke 22:42 gives us one of the most vulnerable moments in Scripture.

Jesus, fully divine yet fully human, asks the Father if the cup could pass…

And then chooses obedience anyway.

He didn’t override His feelings.

He brought them into surrender.

This episode speaks to the weight of the “yes” that costs you something.

The yes that feels like giving up your comfort, your plan, or even your idea of how things were supposed to go.

We walked through how moral development, neuroscience, and spiritual maturity all point to this truth,

Growth doesn’t happen in applause.

It happens in agony.

It happens in the moments where the only person who sees your surrender is God.

We talked about the insula—the part of your brain that processes pain—and how even your biology can learn to reframe discomfort when paired with purpose.

Your brain will start to adapt.

Your spirit will strengthen.

And your body will remember,

Obedience is worship.

This isn’t about being stoic or spiritually numb.

It’s about learning to say, “Even if it costs me—my yes still stands.”

Say this with me,

“My yes is an act of worship and legacy.”

You’re not giving something up for nothing.

You’re trading comfort for calling.

Temporary ease for eternal fruit.

And I promise you—God will honor it.

Let today’s yes be your offering.

Let it stretch you.

Let it sanctify you.

Let it shape you.

He’s with you in every trembling step.

And on the other side?

There’s resurrection.

With you in the garden and the glory,

Candace Kamille 💛.

Let’s connect. Not just in the comments, not just with a double tap. I want to know what’s been on your heart. Let’s talk, dream out loud, pray if you need it, laugh if you feel like it, just real space for real conversation.
