Episode 143: Faith, Fasting, and Saying Yes to God's Call with Victoria Washington

Powered by RedCircle


On the Live The Width of Your Life podcast, we explore what it means to not only live the length of our life but instead the breadth, depth, and purpose of each day.  

She shares her personal story of creating balance in her life by aligning her daily choices to life values, strategies to redefine success, and creating space for a bit of magic and synchronicity.  

It's never too late to change! We don't need to have it all figured out to begin; we can take action daily, show up imperfectly, and be amazed and inspired by how beautiful life can be.

This week, I got to speak with Victoria Washington—entrepreneur, speaker, author of Holy Yes, and founder of the Holy Yes Ministry. I found Victoria's work when I was asking some really deep questions about faith and surrender, and honestly, her bold devotion to God just blew me away.

We dove into her incredible journey of saying a complete "yes" to God—even when she didn't feel ready—and how that one decision completely transformed her life.

Victoria gets really vulnerable about her 40-day fast that led to sobriety, choosing celibacy, and walking away from New Age practices to find true intimacy with Jesus. We talk about what it actually looks like to live surrendered to God, the difference between hustling and trusting, and why God's timing is always perfect (even when it doesn't feel like it).

Her story is so honest and real—you can feel God's love and redemption in every part of it.

If you're just starting your faith journey or you're standing at the edge of going deeper with God, this conversation is such a beautiful reminder that He can use everything—especially the stuff we want to keep hidden. I hope it encourages you as much as it encouraged me.

What we talk about:

  • You don't have to feel ready—God just wants your heart, not perfection

  • Saying yes to God opens up incredible peace, purpose, and presence

  • Sometimes waiting is actually God preparing us for something amazing

  • Truth really does set us free, and it starts with letting go

  • When you align with God's plan, life becomes so much richer and freer
