Honor isn’t outdated—it’s essential.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.
