Honor isn’t outdated—it’s essential. In this episode of Lead to Win, Pastor Jeff Little sits down with Earl McClellan to explore why honor is one of the most overlooked—and most powerful—forces in leadership today.

They unpack how honor shapes culture, strengthens trust, and determines whether teams thrive or fracture under pressure. You’ll hear practical insights on leading with humility, honoring people even when it’s difficult, and building environments where respect fuels growth.

This conversation will challenge the way you lead—and remind you why honor always matters.

In this episode, Pastor Jeff Little and Pastor Mark Francey dive deep into the process behind every leader’s breakthrough—from the decades of formation you don’t see to the moments of obedience that unlock supernatural authority. Pastor Mark reveals why being sent is different than simply going, how leaders can minister to high-capacity people, and why rushing your calling can do more harm than good.

If you’ve ever wondered when to move, how to wait, or what spiritual authority really looks like, this conversation will bring clarity, courage, and faith for your next step.
