About this listen

 What happens when you can't outrun your purpose?
There's an email in your inbox you keep avoiding. A conversation you know you need to have but keep postponing. A decision that could change everything, sitting on your desk like a ticking bomb. You know what you should do, but every time you start to move forward, something stops you.
Sound familiar?
You're not alone. About 2,800 years ago, a man named Jonah received the assignment of a lifetime—and immediately booked passage on a ship heading in the opposite direction. His story of running from responsibility, facing consequences, and ultimately discovering his true purpose has never been more relevant.
Discover Why We Run—And How to Stop
Through one of history's most dramatic transformation stories, you'll uncover:
• Why we avoid what we're meant to do (and how that avoidance creates storms for everyone around us)
• The hidden cost of playing it safe when others are counting on us to step up
• How to take responsibility without self-destruction when our escape plans backfire
• Why our worst circumstances often become our greatest preparation for unexpected success
• How to handle second chances when life gives us another opportunity to do what we originally avoided
• What to do when success doesn't feel like you expected and achievement leaves you empty
• The secret to finding fulfillment by aligning your desires with something larger than yourself
A Story for Anyone Who Feels Stuck
Whether you're facing a career crossroads, avoiding a difficult relationship conversation, hesitating to pursue a dream, or sensing a calling you're not ready to accept, this book offers practical wisdom for moving from avoidance to action.
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Challenges
This isn't a religious book—it's a practical guide that transforms an ancient story into contemporary insight. You don't need any theological background to benefit from these timeless principles about courage, responsibility, and purpose.
Real-world applications include:
  • How to recognize when you're running from your calling
  • Scripts for having conversations you've been avoiding
  • Strategies for taking accountability without falling into shame
  • Tools for turning crisis into transformation
  • Methods for handling unexpected success with integrity
Transform Your Relationship with Calling
The thing you're avoiding might not be an interruption to your real life—it might be an invitation to become who you're actually meant to be. Your reluctance could be a sign that you're on the right track, not evidence that you should keep running.
In this book, you'll learn:
  • How to distinguish between wise caution and fear-based avoidance
  • Why authenticity often trumps expertise when it comes to making an impact
  • How to prepare for opportunities that feel bigger than your current capabilities
  • What to do when achieving your goals reveals uncomfortable truths about your motivations
  • How to want what love wants instead of just what you want
Stop Running. Start Living.
The assignment you've been avoiding is still there. The conversation you need to have is still waiting. The decision that could change everything is still possible.
This book will help you stop running from what you're meant to do and start walking toward the life you're meant to live. Because sometimes the very thing you're most afraid of doing is exactly what the world needs you to do.
Your calling is waiting. The people who need what you have to offer are waiting. The person you're meant to become is waiting.
The only question left is: How long will you keep them waiting?
Get your copy today and discover what happens when you finally stop running and start walking toward your purpose.
