    E125: Matthew La Grange | Leading with Honor

    Send us Fan Mail In Episode 125 of The Waypoint Podcast, Dyke and Rebecca welcome clinical psychologist Matthew LaGrange for a thoughtful and challenging conversation about rediscovering honor.

He challenges leaders to think differently about how they treat one another, showing how a culture of honor is not weakness, but a powerful reflection of Jesus and essential to building healthy ministry environments. This conversation will encourage church leaders to lead with greater humility, intentionality, and Christ-like character in every relationship.
