In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, my friend Allison shares how a call to something new landed on her like a gentle but undeniable conviction. She tried bargaining and hesitating, but God kept nudging, and that is how her podcast Run Your Story was born, with her husband buying the domain before she could talk herself out of it. We talk about Psalm 46:10, the tension between "I'm not qualified" and "God gave me a mission," and the healing that happens when people share their stories. In this conversation: - Why obedience often means slowing down and letting God do the transforming work inside you - How prayer and the confirmation of godly friends helped Allison say yes - What runners' stories of addiction, depression, and unworthiness teach about how God sees us If this conversation encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs it, or reach out at [https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact](https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact).
