I remember pulling into a little shopping center with the windows down and feeling the kind of hush that invites God in. Allison describes that exact moment when a call to something new landed on her like a gentle but undeniable conviction. She tried bargaining and hesitating, and then God kept nudging - so she listened. Can I tell you something? There is a tender power in quiet obedience. We talk about obedience like a series of actions, but in this episode Allison and I keep returning to a quieter truth - obedience often looks like slowing down, being still, and letting God do the transforming work inside us. Psalm 46:10 came up in our conversation - be still and know that I am God - and it felt like the map for the season she walked through. Allison shares how the idea for her podcast Run Your Story arrived unexpectedly and how her husband, a practical, faithful man, supported her by buying the domain before she could talk herself out of it. That tension - the part of us that says I am not qualified and the part that senses God has given a mission - is so real. She leaned into prayer, trusted the confirmation of godly friends, and found that saying yes looked less like ambition and more like surrender. We also dug into something sacred that happens when people share their stories in community. Allison talks about runners who have carried heavy things - addiction, depression, feelings of unworthiness - and how sharing those stories changed the way she sees others. She said God sees us as who we'll be one day, not only who we are now. That perspective shifts how we love, listen, and carry one another. - Practical ways Allison practiced surrender - create quiet margins in your day, bring small prayers into ordinary routines, and let running or a steady rhythm be your worship time. - How community became a healing space - invite others to tell their stories, build simple rituals of listening, and refuse to rush the telling. - Steps to respond when God nudges you - name the prompting, bring it to trusted people, pray with honesty, then take one small obedient step. Throughout the episode I share questions to help you apply this: What quiet margin can you create this week? Who is a safe person to share a small step with? Where have you been asking God for permission to be still instead of do more? These are the kinds of practical, tender prompts Allison and I wrestle with. My hope for you after listening is that you carry less performance and more presence. This episode is for women who want faith that works in real life, who want practical rhythms that lead to healing, and who long for community that sees them fully. I think you’ll find both permission and encouragement in Allison’s story and in the small, tangible practices we talk about. Please listen to this conversation, share it with someone who needs a reminder that God meets us in the quiet, and leave feedback to let us know how the episode landed with you. We'd love to hear your thoughts and stories. ## 📝 Related Blogs 4 blog articles inspired by this episode [ ![Featured image for Building Faith Through Community When God Leads Us Into Something New](https://res.cloudinary.com/guidedsteps/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1784921637/perspectivesintopractice/blog/building-faith-through-community-when-god-leads-us-into-something-new-1784921636991.jpg) Blog article ## Building Faith Through Community When God Leads Us Into Something New Building faith through community gives us support, courage, and new hope when God leads us into something new.
