Lead to Win with Jeff Little Chris Hodges on Passion, Purpose, and Personal Growth
Pastor Jeff sits down with his longtime friend and leadership mentor, Chris Hodges (founding pastor of Church of the Highlands and founder of Highlands College). Together, they dive deep into what it really means to win—not just in ministry, but in life. Chris shares his journey of planting Church of the Highlands, passing the leadership torch, and the powerful vision behind Highlands College. They discuss the critical need for mentorship, the importance of identifying the right models, and the urgency of raising up more leaders for the future of the church. The conversation also tackles the essential balance between spiritual passion, practical systems, and structural integrity in building a thriving church. Chris shares personal insights on mentorship—how to seek out great mentors, why you need to bring value to the relationship, and the transformative power of being coachable.
