In this episode, Cali and Jessica sit down with the incredible Michaela Kilgore for a deep and honest conversation that dives into topics not often talked about in church culture—especially among women. Michaela shares about the chain reaction of yeses that led her to her calling and how one person’s obedience can impact far more lives than they ever realize. Together, they unpack the stigma surrounding pornography through Michaela’s powerful testimony, talk about what true submission really looks like versus how it’s often portrayed, and—because Michaela’s a total foodie—they end things with some fun (and weird) food-related questions. This episode is raw, real, and filled with grace, truth, and a reminder of how every “yes” has an impact.

This week, Cali and Jessica sit down with the one and only Julie Bowers! From saying yes to God’s call—even when it means saying no to good things—to stepping into ministry through moments of discomfort and growth, this conversation is packed with wisdom, laughter, and a whole lot of real talk.
Plus, stay tuned for some spontaneous youth and kids ministry brainstorming… and a few unexpected tangents about bugs and... farts (because, of course).

It’s funny, honest, and full of reminders that God’s “yes” often starts where we least expect it.

In this episode of Say Yes with Cali and Jess, things get a little too fun when we hand Youth Pastor Hunter Bowers the soundboard (spoiler: we may never recover). Between the chaos and the laughter, Hunter opens up about his journey into ministry — how God prepared his heart long before the calling was clear, how some prayers are answered instantly while others take time, and how the place you’re called to serve might not be what you expected.
It’s an episode full of unexpected wisdom, hilarious stories, and a few moments that’ll hit you right in the heart. You’ll laugh, maybe cry, and definitely be glad you pressed play.
