But before you go, remember this:
God brought you out for a reason.
You don't have to keep returning to what He already delivered you from.

Today I want to talk about a Bible character who teaches us a powerful lesson about emotional health.
His name is Jonah.
Most people know Jonah as the man who was swallowed by a great fish.
But if we're honest, the fish wasn't Jonah's biggest problem.
Jonah's biggest problem was what was happening inside of his heart..

Today we're talking about something that many believers don't realize.
Unhealed emotional wounds can distort the way we see God.
Think about it.
If you've been abandoned, you may struggle to trust that God will stay.
If you've been rejected, you may struggle to believe God truly accepts you.
If you've been betrayed, you may struggle to surrender because trust feels dangerous.
The problem isn't God.
The problem is that pain becomes a filter.

E29 - 10m - Jun 21, 2026 - The Stories You Tell Yourself
#Emotional Healing #LiesWeTellOurselves #ChristianDiscipline #AskMinisterYoPodcast
Welcome back to The Ask Minister Yo Podcast.
Today I want to talk about something that has the power to shape your entire life.
The stories you tell yourself.
Every person listening to me has a story running in the background of their mind.
Sometimes those stories sound like:
I'm not enough.
Nobody chooses me.
I always get hurt.
I have to earn love.
God forgot about me.
What's interesting is these stories usually begin with a painful experience.
The experience may have been real.
But the conclusion we formed may not be.

E28 - 8m - Jun 16, 2026 - Awareness Is True Freedom
Hello and welcome back to The Ask Minister Yo Podcast.
I'm your host, Minister Yolanda
Today I want to talk about something that many believers overlook, yet it is often the very thing standing between them and freedom.
Awareness.
The truth is you cannot heal what you refuse to acknowledge.
You cannot surrender what you refuse to identify.
And you cannot experience freedom in areas where you remain blind.

Inside, you'll find biblical teaching, encouragement, monthly coaching, and a community of women walking the same journey.

E27 - 9m - Jun 6, 2026 - Hidden Reasons Why Believers Stop Growing
#SpiritualGrowth #SpiritualIntimacy #AskMinisterYoPodcast #YolandaBethea
On today's episode, Minister Yo shared that:
Believers stop growing spiritually because of:
- Fear of failure (afraid to try) or disappointment (unanswered prayer)
- Offense or unresolved hurt-especially Church hurt
- Inconsistency without accountability-no one to disciple them
- Isolation-Trying to grow alone
- Lack of focus-looking at how other’s living and should focus on what God told them Ex. Jesus told Peter to feed His sheep. Peter asked Jesus what John was going to do.
Key Scripture
- Proverbs 4:23 – Guard your heart
- Hebrews 12:1 – Weights vs sins
Reframe
God doesn’t expose these things to shame us — He exposes them to heal us. God shows us other believers faults so we can restore them in private-not so we can expose them to the world. God wants to protect the sheep-not scatter them.

E26 - 25m - Feb 16, 2026 - Salvation vs Discipleship: What's the Difference?
#Salvation #Discipleship #SpiritualGrowth #yolandabethea
Many believers stop growing because no one ever taught them the difference between being saved and being discipled.
Teaching Points
- Salvation is a moment; discipleship is a journey
- Jesus commanded discipleship, not decisions only
- Maturity is developed, not downloaded
Key Scripture
- Matthew 28:19–20 – “Make disciples…”
- Luke 9:23 – Daily discipleship
Reframe
Discipleship teaches you how to walk with God daily.
Affirmation
“I choose growth over comfort. I am becoming a disciple, not just a believer.”
Spiritual Exercise
- Reflect: What has my spiritual life mainly consisted of — sermons or structure?
- Write one small daily discipleship habit you can begin this week
Closing
Discipleship is an invitation, not a burden.

E22 - 24m - Jan 6, 2026 - Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life
#Thoughts #RenewedMind #Spirituality #YolandaBethea
Spiritual growth doesn’t start with your feelings or your circumstances — it starts with your thinking.
Romans 12:2 says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
That means real transformation doesn’t come from trying harder — it comes from thinking differently.
If you want to change your life, you have to start by changing your thoughts.
So today, we’re talking about how to develop a renewed mind — one that believes truth over lies and faith over fear.

Grab a copy of her devotional, "Devotions For Everyday Life" at https://a.co/d/cmgMxmu
#spiritualwarfare #battlefieldofthemind #spiritualbattle #yolandabethea
Many believers lose battles they were meant to win because they’re fighting the wrong enemy.
When you get offended, the enemy wants you to fight people instead of fighting him.
But 2 Corinthians 10:4 says,
“The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.”
So you don’t fight with anger, gossip, or control. You fight with prayer, praise, and the Word of God.

E19 - 23m - Nov 28, 2025 - Victory Through Worship
#spiritualwarfare #worshipwins #spirituality #yolandabethea
Today, we’re going to talk about a weapon most Christians forget—worship. It’s more than a song; it’s divine strategy.
Worship example: Lord You Are Good by Todd Galberth https://youtu.be/ypVunprCkqk?si=Ql5U9ElErpIAXcB4
Teaching Notes
- Biblical Example – Jehoshaphat’s army won without fighting because they worshipped. They followed the divine instructions given by God.
- Why Worship Works – It shifts focus from problems to God’s power.
- Worship Invites God’s Presence – Psalm 22:3 says He inhabits our praise.
- Worship in the Midst of Battle – Paul and Silas in prison (Acts 16).
- Worship will lead you to divine strategy-Jehoshaphat was told to put the singers out in front of the army and let them worship.

E17 - 29m - Oct 25, 2025 - To Obey God Consistently....Do This....
#ObeyGod #SpiritualGrowth #AskMinisterYoPodcast
To obey God consistently, you must choose to hear the Word of God AND do it. Today, we’re talking about the difference between hearing God’s Word and doing it. Doing the Word of God leads to spiritual growth, hearing only, leads to spiritual deception.

E16 - 20m - Oct 11, 2025 - Every Need Met
#prayer #needsmet #spirituality #AskMinisterYoPodcast
Have you ever had a need that you couldn’t meet? You tried everything that you knew to do in the natural but nothing worked. Then after you exhausted all other resources, you remembered to pray. But you didn’t receive because you didn’t pray in faith-you prayed in fear-begging God to give you what you already have-every need is met.

E14 - 32m - Sep 27, 2025 - The Power of Fasting
fasting #spiritualgrowth #seekingwisdom #yolandabethea
Why is fasting important? Fasting helps us hear God clearly. Hearing God is very important-especially when we have big decisions to make. The power of fasting is that it allows God to work through us and in us. Because when we can hear God clearly, we know which direction to take that will lead us into His perfect will for our lives. Remember, fasting doesn't change God-fasting changes us.
