Episode 24: Kaila Yim

Kaila is our 24th guest on the No Wrong Turns Pod!  She is from California and grew up being very close to her family, her cousins and grandparents.  Once Kaila gave her life to Christ at age 14 during her freshman year she began spending most all of her free time at church.  She loved being involved in youth group and volunteering to help wherever she could at church.  Kaila walks us through her college application journey which began with her not wanting to go to college because she did not think there was a major that she felt passionate about.  With her mom’s urging she then literally went from Googling Moody to completing her application all within a 6 hour timeframe! Throughout this conversation Kaila shares with us the importance that discipleship and mentorship played in her life.  How when she went to college she was working through her parents getting a divorce and how discipleship and mentorship from other women played a crucial part in her walking through and processing this big life change.  In Kaila’s story she highlights her passions of discipleship & mentorship, youth ministry and missions.

 

Here are some great quotes from Kaila:

“Recognize the ways that God has created you and use that for the Kingdom.”

“The Lord can you use, your personality, your gifting.  And to not discredit those or not to look down on something that is really a gift.  Those things that I thought were bad qualities is what God has used more in my ministry and discipleship.”

“The way that Lord created me was a gift in and of itself.”
