Kayla Can Talk is where faith, life, and growing in God come together with a little sports talk in the mix. Hosted by Kayla Simmons, this podcast blends everyday struggles, spiritual truths, and breaking down Scripture with laughter and honesty. Whether it’s a deep dive into faith or a sideline take on the latest game, it’s always raw, relatable, and rooted in Jesus Christ.
We’ve all been to a wedding, or at least seen one on TV, where the officiant says, “By the power vested in me…”
But as a Christian, that familiar phrase led me to ask: Who has the power in my life?
Psalm 62:11 says that power belongs to God. David experienced plenty of highs, lows, uncertainty, and difficulties , but through it all, he knew where the power belonged. Do we?
Sometimes we tire ourselves out trying to control our lives, write our own narratives, and determine exactly how our stories should unfold.
But what happens when we realize that the power was never vested in us to begin with?
In this episode of Kayla Can Talk, we’re talking about surrendering control, living under the authority of God, and trusting the One who holds the power even when we don’t know how the story will end.
Does the power belong to God in your life?

Faith In The Unseen: Pregnancy (Part 1)
In this episode Kayla begins to get vulnerable with her listeners about her faith, and her journey to pregnancy.
Part 1 opens the conversation about waiting on God, and how obedience is a catalyst for so many things in our lives.
Isaiah 40:31 “But those who wait on the lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall rub and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint”
Wait on the Lord! He knows best, and His timing is best.
✨ I hope this episode encourages you in your journey of waiting and faith.
What do you see?
More episodes to come.

When Hope Feels Like Jail - Part 2
In Part 1, we talked about hope when it feels heavy, when it feels restrictive, and when believing feels harder than letting go.
But what happens when the waiting begins to shift?
What happens when time has stretched, faith has been tested, and God finally begins to move?
This episode sits in that transition.
The space where the wait was not empty, and the delay was not denial.
Where you realize the promise was not the only thing being prepared. You were too!
Sometimes the greatest work God does is not in what you receive, but in who you become while waiting.
Hope was never trapping you.
It was anchoring you.
It was holding you steady until the moment came to move.
✨ Listen in if you’ve ever felt like hope was a sad low place.

When Hope Feels Like Jail - Part 1
“We talk about hope like it’s always enjoyable, motivating, freeing, uplifting.”
But sometimes hope feels restrictive.
Sometimes believing feels heavier than giving up.
This episode sits in that tension.
The space where hope asks you to stay
when everything in you wants to move on and give up.
It’s time to believe the promise, but love the promiser more than the promise itself.
Get out of hope jail!
Part 1
✨ Listen in if you’ve ever felt the weight of believing
and needed permission to name it.

Full Circle: It’s Not About You
“They sold him…” — Genesis 37:28
“But God sent me…” — Genesis 45:5
Joseph had every reason to center the story around his pain, but when he finally stood face to face with the brothers who betrayed him, he realized something deeper.
This moment wasn’t about revenge.
It wasn’t about proving anything.
It wasn’t even about him.
It was about God’s plan. God’s timing. God’s purpose.
Full circle moments remind you:
you’re not the main character, you’re the vessel.
And when God brings you back to a place you never thought you’d enter healed, you’ll see it clearly.
It was never about you.
It was always about what God wanted to do through you.
✨ Listen in if you’re ready to let God use your full circle moment for His glory, not your ego.

Make It Count: Even in the Face of the Enemy
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper.” — Isaiah 54:17
“What the enemy meant for evil, God intended for good.” Genesis 50:20
Sometimes the enemy sees you getting too close to the score… so he fouls you. He wants to knock you off the play, steal your focus, stop your progress.
But even when you get fouled… you still get the free throw.
The point is still possible. The outcome is still in God’s hands.
It might not look like the layup you planned, but God is still adding even when the enemy tried to stop you.
✨ Listen in if you’re ready to shake it off, step back to the line, and earn it anyway.

Who Are You Following? Jesus Said, “Follow Me”
In this episode of Kayla Can Talk, Kayla talks about the individuals we choose to follow online and how easily they influence our lives. From influencers to friends to strangers, our feeds are full of noise. But Jesus’ invitation is still the same today: Follow Me. Matthew 16:24
Kayla shares about what we’re influenced by, the need to quiet distractions, and the freedom that comes when His voice leads above all others.
If you need to be reminded to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him, this episode is for you.

200 Up: God is With You In Every Step
In this episode of Kayla Can Talk, I share a spoken word I wrote at 19 called ‘200 Up.’ It’s a piece born out of “struggle”, surrender, and the scriptures of crowns casted down, Paul’s contentment in all seasons, and the promise that the righteous rise again.
I not only recite the poem, but also break down the Word hidden in its lines. Because even when I didn’t fully understand at 19, God was planting truth in me: setbacks become lessons, comebacks are possible, and every step forward counts as a blessing.
200 Up is a reminder that we can be down, but never defeated because with God, we always rise.
Proverbs 24:16 says “For. Righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity.”
It’s time to get up!

Bring on the Fire: Get Undressed to get Dressed
"For our God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:29
Recently I almost burned the house down. The whole place smelled like smoke, and I realized that God wants that same evidence on our lives. He wants us to look and live like we have been close to His refining fire.
Too often we put on our own layers of PPE, personal protective equipment, to shield ourselves from His presence. But God calls us to take off the things that keep us safe and hidden and to be clothed instead with His armor.
In this episode I talk about what it means to get undressed to get dressed, to trade self-protection for God's purification, and to step into His fire so our lives produce real fruit.
✨Listen in if you are ready to stop covering up and start being clothed in Him.

Episode 1: Full Circle - The Beginning of Something New
This first episode gives you a taste of what this podcast will be about.
I share a story that brought me full circle and reminded me that everything in life goes full circle. Moments of joy and sorrow, beginnings and endings, all carry us back to God.
Ecclesiastes 3 tells us there is a time and a season for everything under heaven. Weddings, births, and even the hardest goodbyes all fit into God’s design. Each one holds purpose, and each one points us back to Him.
This podcast, part of my journey with For I Am His LLC, is a space for honesty, faith, and growth. It begins here, with an invitation to see how even our everyday stories connect to the bigger story God is telling.
