EPISODE 0195 | Church Values Part 2.2
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0195
In this episode, Pastor Daniel and Pastor Nate take us behind the scenes of Vintage Church to talk about something deeper than strategy or structure—values. They explain how values aren’t just words on a wall but the unseen drivers behind what we say, celebrate, tolerate, and replicate. With practical examples and biblical insight, they unpack how to tell the difference between real values and aspirational ones, how to guard what you’re multiplying, and why alignment in values is the only way to build lasting Kingdom culture.
Main Topics Covered:
✔️ Why your actual values may not be what you think they are
✔️ How values determine culture—and why you can’t fake them
✔️ The difference between core values and aspirational ones
✔️ How to evaluate what you’re celebrating, tolerating, and replicating
✔️ Why alignment in language, behavior, and systems matters
✔️ The invisible power of values to shape people, teams, and churches
✔️ What it means to be a values-driven Christian and leader
Key Scriptures:
📖 Luke 6:45 – “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks”
📖 Matthew 7:16 – “By their fruit you will recognize them”
📖 Proverbs 4:23 – “Guard your heart above all else...”
📖 Romans 12:2 – “Do not conform... be transformed by the renewing of your mind”
📖 Titus 2:7–8 – “Set an example by doing what is good...”
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Values aren’t what’s written. They’re what’s reinforced.
🔹 Your real values show up in what’s celebrated, tolerated, and replicated.
🔹 Culture is shaped more by habits than declarations.
🔹 If you don’t define your values, your environment will.
🔹 God builds His people from the inside out—through deeply aligned values.
🔹 You don’t multiply what you say—you multiply what you live.
