Have you ever felt misunderstood when you said “no” to something in order to follow God’s call on your life? Maybe others thought you were selfish, arrogant, or not a team player—when in reality, you were simply staying faithful to what God asked of you.
In this episode, Carrie shares inspiration from the movie F1 (2025), where one driver’s quiet confidence and loyalty to the bigger picture led to unexpected opportunities for others. His story reminds us of what it looks like to stand firm in God’s calling, even when others don’t understand.
