EPISODE 0192 | Church Values: Part 2
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0192
In this episode, Pastor Stephen, Pastor Daniel, and Pastor Nate unpack what it really means to build a Kingdom culture—one that doesn’t just react to the culture war but actively disciples hearts and shapes communities. Instead of being driven by outrage, the hosts explore how healthy church culture, rooted in biblical values, can transform lives, create unity, and confront darkness with light. They discuss how culture is shaped by what we celebrate, tolerate, and replicate, and they challenge leaders to align values, systems, and behaviors so the message and the methods don’t contradict each other. Whether you're leading a church, serving a team, or raising a family, this conversation will help you clarify the kind of culture you’re cultivating.
Main Topics Covered:
✔️ Culture is more than systems—it’s what we celebrate, tolerate, and replicate.
✔️ Kingdom culture is built through discipleship, not just reaction.
✔️ Misalignment between beliefs and behaviors damages trust and witness.
✔️ The difference between calling out sin with love vs. feeding on outrage.
✔️ Leadership requires confronting dysfunction while modeling transformation.
Key Scriptures:
📖 Matthew 28:18–20 – The Great Commission is a call to disciple, not just declare.
📖 Romans 12:2 – Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, not conformed to the world.
📖 Galatians 6:1 – Restore one another gently in a spirit of humility.
📖 Ephesians 4:15 – Speak the truth in love to grow in every way into Christ.
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Culture is always being formed—the question is whether it reflects Heaven or the world.
🔹 Healthy cultures align beliefs, behaviors, and structures around Kingdom values.
🔹 Being "countercultural" isn’t the goal—Christlikeness is.
🔹 Leadership isn’t just about confronting what’s wrong but creating what’s right.
🔹 The Church is called to be a city on a hill—set apart, not isolated.
🎧 Listen now and be equipped to cultivate a culture in your home, church, and workplace that glorifies God and withstands the storms of this age.
