‘In Genesis 12:1–4, God calls Abram to leave the familiar and walk by faith. In Acts 9:1–19, Saul’s life is dramatically redirected toward obedience. Both faithfully left their “convections” — old patterns, identities, and securities — to step into God’s greater calling and transformation. God invites us to leave our comfort zones and walk boldly into His purpose. Are you ready to trust the unknown? .’ – Walt Paquin
