What the Best Leaders Know (That Most Christians Forget) with Pat Combs

What sets great leaders apart in the boardroom, on the field, and in everyday life? According to former MLB pitcher, business leader, and author Pat Combs, it's not just strategy or skill—it’s a deep alignment with Kingdom values.

In this episode, Madi sits down with Pat to talk about what the best leaders know that most Christians tend to forget: that leadership is less about control and more about character. Drawing from his experiences in professional sports, business, and mentoring young adults, Pat unpacks how faithfulness, humility, and integrity shape lasting influence.

You’ll hear stories that challenge hustle culture, confront ego-driven success, and remind us that God's scoreboard looks a whole lot different than ours. If you're leading in any capacity—whether it’s a team, your family, or just yourself—this episode will recalibrate your definition of success and encourage you to lead like Jesus.
