Get Your ASK in Gear | Ed Young & Dave Clark

About this sermon

In this episode of the C3 Leadership Podcast, Pastor Ed Young unpacks the power of asking questions—and why curiosity is one of the most underrated leadership skills of all. Joined by co-host Dave Clark, Ed challenges leaders to trade arrogance for inquiry, insecurity for curiosity, and comfort for teachability. From awkward dinner conversations to lessons learned from NFL quarterback Kirk Cousins, this episode dives deep into how questions unlock growth, wisdom, and connection. Ed shares how a lack of questions often reveals pride, fear, or self-focus—and why the best leaders never stop asking. Whether you’re a pastor, parent, athlete, or entrepreneur, this episode will inspire you to “get your asking gear” and rediscover the art of learning from everyone around you. Because when you stop asking questions, you start limiting your life.
