What happens when God’s plan isn’t our plan? In Jonah 1, a seasoned prophet hears God clearly…and sprints the other way. Pastor Bobby shares his own story of running and shows how disobedience always drifts us downward—into counterfeit “open doors,” heavy costs, and lost peace. Yet through storms and even a fish, we see the bigger story: a God who moves heaven and earth to pursue His runners and offer a second chance at life and purpose. If you’ve been chasing comfort over calling, or escaping pain instead of bringing it to Jesus, this message invites you to stop running and turn toward the One who never stopped chasing you.
