In this episode of Real Christian Manhood, Roy Wooten sits down with longtime friend and Crucible alumnus Matthew White, a seasoned healthcare executive, leadership mentor, and founder of Leadership to Legacy™.

After decades of leading teams and developing leaders, Matthew came to believe that leadership is about far more than titles, promotions, performance, or success. It’s about developing people, stewarding influence wisely, and leaving something meaningful behind.

Matthew shares how his Crucible experience helped shape the man and leader he is today, why true leadership begins with our relationship with God, and what it looks like to move beyond success toward lasting impact in our families, workplaces, churches, and communities.

It’s a conversation about servant leadership, courage, stewardship, and building a legacy that extends far beyond your career.

Lead Well. Finish Well. Leave a Legacy.
