What do you do when God speaks—but what He asks feels uncomfortable, vulnerable, or even frightening?
In this honest and deeply personal solo episode, Jessica Cabrera builds on last week’s conversation about how God communicates and turns the focus to a more challenging question: How do we respond to God’s voice?
Drawing from Acts 8 and 9, Jessica reflects on the dramatic conversion of the Apostle Paul and the courageous obedience of Ananias. When God asked Ananias to go to Saul—a man known for persecuting Christians—it didn’t make sense. It was risky. It was scary. But Ananias obeyed.
Jessica shares her own journey of resistance and surrender. From hesitating to host the podcast, to stepping into public-facing ministry, to speaking in her hometown and branding the ministry with her name—each step required trust and courage. Each step required responding faithfully when God prompted her forward.
This episode explores what it means to trust God when obedience feels costly, and why responding to Him with faith writes a better story than anything we could create on our own.

There is an article in Jessica’s Engage Faith column that will help you understand who He is, who you are, what choice you have, and what happens when you make the decision.
