Would you do it? In this episode of Why I Believe, I sit down with Heather Black\u2014speaker strategist, event expert, and self-proclaimed \u201cstubborn\u201d follower of Christ\u2014to talk about what it really looks like to trust God\u2026 even when you don\u2019t have the full plan. It all started with a simple (and slightly unexpected) instruction: \u201cGo get the pigeon out of the road.\u201d What followed wasn\u2019t just about helping an injured bird\u2026 it was a powerful lesson in obedience, surrender, and taking the first step\u2014even when you don\u2019t know what comes next. We talk about: Why God doesn\u2019t give you the whole plan\u2014just the next step What happens when you resist (and how He keeps calling anyway) Letting go of control and trusting His timing Recognizing God\u2019s voice in everyday moments How faith grows when you finally say \u201cyes\u201d Heather also shares powerful moments from her life where God showed up in unexpected ways\u2014through heartbreak, uncertainty, and life-changing decisions. Her message is simple, but one we all need to hear: You don\u2019t need the whole staircase. You just need to take the first step. You can reach Heather at Heather D.
