In this episode of Leaders in the Arena, we sat down with Pat Rayner to explore leadership through a distinctly Christian lens—one rooted not in status or authority, but in calling, character, and responsibility. Pat shares his personal leadership journey, reflecting on the moments and mentors that shaped his approach to leading with humility and conviction.

Together, we'll unpack the turning point when leadership became more than a title, but a responsibility to serve others well. Pat also walks us through a defining leadership moment where values, people, and outcomes were all at stake, offering an honest look at how faith impacts decision-making under pressure.

We’ll also discuss how Pat’s faith and spiritual formation continues to shape his leadership today, and close with the guiding wisdom that anchors his work and influences how he leads others.
