    How Colt McCoy Redefined Winning After Football

    What does winning look like when the game is over? Former NFL quarterback Colt McCoy joins Pastor Jeff Little to share how his definition of success has changed through football, faith, family, and life after the NFL. From growing up in a small town to playing on football's biggest stages, Colt reflects on the moments that shaped his character, including the injury that changed his final college game, learning to lead through fear, and discovering that his identity is bigger than his performance. Colt also shares how he approaches fatherhood, the family values guiding his decisions, and his work in real estate and foster care. Together, Jeff and Colt explore what it means to lead with consistency, live out authentic faith, and build a legacy that lasts beyond personal achievement.

    Why You're Not Getting Promoted (Even If You're Good at Your Job)

    Why do some people get promoted while others get overlooked—even when they're great at their jobs? In this episode of Lead to Win, Pastor Jeff Little kicks off a new five-part series, 5 Ways to Get Promoted, revealing the qualities that make people stand out, earn trust, and become indispensable to their teams. The first principle... Have a good spirit. Talent, experience, and hard work matter, but they aren't always what determines who gets promoted. Pastor Jeff explains why your attitude, character, and the way you treat others can have a greater impact on your career than you realize.

    How to Win at What Actually Matters

    What does it actually mean to win? In this episode of Lead to Win, Pastor Jeff Little breaks down the philosophy that has shaped his approach to leadership, ministry, family, and developing people for more than two decades. Winning isn’t simply accomplishing more, growing bigger, or putting more points on the scoreboard. It’s becoming who God has called you to be and winning in the areas that matter most. GET THE WAY TO WIN:  https://www.leadtowin.com/products/the-way-to-win Pastor Jeff shares how The Way to Win grew out of his experience planting Milestone Church and realizing that building a great organization starts with building great people. He discusses why leaders need the right scoreboard, how to develop people instead of simply using them to accomplish a vision, and why success in one area of life can’t compensate for losing in the areas that matter most. You’ll also hear the story behind the development process Jeff has used for more than 20 years, how it has helped churches and leaders develop stronger people, and practical principles for creating a winning culture in your family, team, church, or organization.  The question isn’t simply whether you can win. It’s whether you’re winning the right game.

    David Green | The Mindset That Changed Hobby Lobby

    In this episode of Lead to Win, Pastor Jeff Little sits down with Hobby Lobby founder David Green and Bill High for a conversation about success, stewardship, generosity, purpose, and building a legacy that lasts. David shares how Hobby Lobby grew from a $600 loan into a business with more than 1,100 stores and roughly $10 billion in annual sales—and why his family made the decision to view everything they have as something entrusted to them by God. He explains the journey toward giving away 60% of the company’s profits, why his family chose not to treat Hobby Lobby as an inheritance, and how they’ve worked to pass down purpose rather than simply wealth. They also discuss finding purpose in business, developing a generational family vision, taking care of employees, staying engaged in meaningful work, and why every leader—not just pastors—should see their work as a calling. Whether you lead a business, church, team, or family, this conversation will challenge you to ask a bigger question about success: What is everything you’re building actually for?
