The Power of Obedience: Brenda Palmer’s The Journey of Yes Challenges the Status Quo and Heals the Soul
Brenda Palmer is not here for surface-level faith or the Instagram version of healing. She’s here to talk about the real, the raw, and the radical. And in her debut book, The Journey of Yes: The Everyday Adventure of Radical Obedience (WaterBrook, releasing June 24, 2025), she invites readers to do the same—face their fears, wrestle with their wounds, and surrender to something greater than themselves.
With a bold voice and an undeniable presence, Palmer—known to many as the host of the Life in Perspective podcast—offers more than a memoir. This is a manual for the misunderstood, a lifeline for the tired, and a rallying cry for those wondering if their “yes” to God still matters. Spoiler: It does.
From Betrayal to Breakthrough
Palmer’s story doesn’t start with applause—it starts with betrayal. As a faithful servant in the church, she found herself blindsided by the very people she trusted most. But rather than letting that pain define her, Palmer chose to let it refine her. She writes with unflinching honesty about the agony of church hurt, the loneliness of obedience, and the beauty of forgiving people who never apologized.
Her obedience didn’t lead to a pulpit—it led to the wilderness. But in that wilderness, Palmer found her voice, her mission, and her real relationship with God. She left her production company in L.A., stepped out on faith, and began building the Come Alive Collective—a movement helping people reconnect with Jesus beyond the filters and church clothes.
What Makes The Journey of Yes So Powerful?
It’s not just the testimony—it’s the transparency. Palmer doesn’t sugarcoat the cost of obedience. She explores the mental and emotional toll of leadership, the gray spaces of calling, and the tension between spiritual boundaries and bold truth. This book is for anyone who has ever sat in silence asking, “God, are You sure this is what You want from me?”
Yet through the storms, Palmer shows that obedience is not punishment—it’s preparation. And that healing? It isn’t instant. It’s layered, sacred, and often found on the other side of surrender.
Praise for The Journey of Yes
Palmer’s words have already made waves in faith and culture spaces, earning praise from thought leaders like Pastor Touré Roberts and actress Crystal Renee Hayslett. But this isn’t just a book for believers—it’s a message for anyone ready to shed the pressure of perfection and step boldly into purpose.
“This book will stir your faith, steady your feet, and help you say your own courageous yes,” says bestselling author Casandra Spear.
“A heart-riveting manual to help you pursue the glorious unknowns behind every yes,” adds Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell.
