Episode Description
Welcome to the On The Rise Podcast! In this Faith Driven Leaders episode, host Nick Stromwall sits down with Jono Allen to discuss the role of obedience, trust, and patience in a life of faith driven leadership. Jono shares how seasons of uncertainty and waiting shaped his character and strengthened his reliance on God’s timing rather than his own plans. The conversation explores discernment, humility, and the discipline required to remain faithful when outcomes are unclear. Jono also reflects on leadership as service and the responsibility to steward influence well. This episode provides thoughtful guidance for leaders seeking to walk faithfully through transition while remaining anchored in purpose.
Summary
Tip #1: Obedience Often Comes Before Clarity
“Sometimes God gives you the next step, not the full plan.”
Jono explains that faith driven leadership frequently requires action without full visibility, emphasizing trust over certainty.
Tip #2: Waiting Seasons Are Formative
“The waiting wasn’t wasted; it was shaping me.”
Periods of delay and uncertainty refined Jono’s character, patience, and dependence on God rather than outcomes.
Tip #3: Leadership Begins With Humility
“If you want to lead well, you have to learn how to follow first.”
Jono highlights submission and humility as foundational traits for leaders who want lasting influence.
Tip #4: Discernment Requires Stillness
“You can’t hear God clearly if you never slow down.”
Creating margin and stillness allows leaders to recognize God’s guidance amid noise and pressure.
Tip #5: Faith Is Proven Through Action
“Faith isn’t passive; it moves when God says move.”
Jono reinforces that belief must be paired with obedience, even when it feels uncomfortable or risky.
Tip #6: Success Is Faithfulness, Not Visibility
“God measures success differently than we do.”
Worldly recognition is temporary, while faithfulness to calling produces eternal impact.
Tip #7: Trust Is Built One Step at a Time
“Every step of obedience strengthens your trust muscle.”
Small acts of obedience compound over time, creating deeper confidence in God’s provision and direction.
