The Calling I Tried to Outrun

from The Encouragement Well · host Rachel Haywood

In this first episode of The Encouragement Well, Rachel shares the powerful—and literal—wake-up call that began her journey into obedience. After hearing unexplained knocking three nights in a row, she sensed God calling her into ministry… and she ran. Through illness, friendship loss, job challenges, and deep exhaustion, she learned she may have been living in the “belly of the whale,” just like Jonah. In this honest, faith-filled conversation, Rachel opens up about surrendering, stepping into her purpose, and saying yes to God—fully, loudly, and boldly.
