Briggs to talk about the power of asking better questions — in parenting, leadership, prayer, relationships, and our walk with God.

    What If God Is Calling You Into the Unknown? | Philip Sarnecki

    What does it look like to follow God when obedience leads you out of your comfort zone? In this episode of Carry The Fire, Jesse Allen sits down with Philip Sarnecki, candidate for Kansas Governor, for a conversation about faith, courage, calling, business, family, leadership, and stepping into the unknown with obedience. Philip shares his story of growing up in rural central Illinois, learning the value of hard work from his parents, building a career in business, and eventually sensing God redirecting his path toward public leadership. This conversation is not just about politics. It is about what happens when God gives a person a burden, confirms it through prayer, family, wise counsel, and courage, then asks them to move forward in faith. Jesse and Philip talk about fear, obedience, Christian leadership, Kansas, revival, government, business as ministry, and why courage is often required before change begins. If you have ever wrestled with your calling, wondered whether God can use you outside of traditional ministry, or felt the pull to step into something bigger than your comfort zone, this episode will challenge and encourage you. Topics covered: Faith and courage Christian leadership Business as ministry Kansas governor race Hearing God’s voice Leaving your comfort zone Obedience and calling Revival in Kansas Government and biblical responsibility Family, legacy, and leadership Subscribe to Carry The Fire for conversations on faith, family, leadership, discipleship, and carrying the presence of God into every area of life.
