Leadership That Lights the Way | Scott Kost | Ep. 023

In this episode of Stories of His Glory, Ryne sits down with Central Cass softball coach Scott Kost to talk about faith, leadership, and building something that lasts far beyond wins and losses.

Scott shares his journey from growing up around church to truly following Jesus in his early 20s, and how that decision became the foundation for everything in his life, from his family to his coaching career.

What started as a simple volunteer opportunity turned into a 26-year coaching journey marked by championship success, but more importantly, a commitment to developing people, not just players.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• Why the most important decision Scott ever made wasn’t about career or coaching—but following Jesus
• How coaches can intentionally build culture and teach life lessons in practice
• The role relationships play in lasting impact
• Why winning isn’t the ultimate goal—and what is
• How living out your faith can influence others without saying a word

This episode is a powerful reminder that the way you live your life may be the very thing that leads someone else to Christ.

Verse of the Day:
