Won't God Do It: Serving, Gifts & Mentoring with Sister Yvette

On Won't God Do It, Dr. Anita Turner sits with Sister Yvette to unpack a faith that’s active, intimate, and practical. Yvette shares her early salvation story—taught to pray by her mother and drawn deeper after a neighbor’s funeral—and explains that a personal relationship with Christ means more than attendance: it’s accepting Jesus, spending quality time with Him, reading Scripture, praying, and obeying God’s Word.

Hearing God, Growing in the Word

Sister Yvette emphasizes that God’s voice can be heard everywhere—while driving, walking, or in quiet moments—and that the Bible, “living water,” reveals fresh meaning in every season. She encourages regular Bible study (read, look up words, revisit passages) and listening for the Spirit. Obedience matters: grace forgives, but a mature relationship shows itself through doing what Scripture teaches.

Spiritual Gifts, Servant Leadership & Mentoring

A core focus is spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12): gifts like encouragement, administration, or teaching that build up the body of Christ. Yvette recommends taking a spiritual gift assessment online and then serving in a church ministry that matches your gift. Her own ministry centers on servant leadership and mentoring young women—weekly sessions that teach life skills (finances, hygiene), faith, and spiritual gifts. She stresses that serving is not beneath anyone; Jesus modeled humble service, and every role done “in love and excellence” matters for the harvest.

Encouragement & Next Steps

The takeaways are simple and powerful: you are loved, never alone, and called to serve. Practice quality time with God, identify and operate in your spiritual gift, mentor the next generation, and forgive so you can move forward.
