Change Your Culture

As an organization, the mission God’s given us is to “change a culture, one man at a time.” Most often people assume we mean change the “big C” culture, meaning the culture of the world. That’s a worthy cause and something to aspire too, but it’s too big to make a tangible impact. Instead, we like to focus on changing a culture, the “little c” culture. That “little c” culture in my opinion is the most important culture. That culture is our families, our friends, our churches, our places of work and our communities. It’s in the “little c” culture that we can have the most tangible impact.

It all starts with our families, my family is my most immediate culture, your family is your most immediate culture and if we steward and care for that culture, the “little c” culture, God has entrusted to us, He will work through us to impact the “big C” culture. But it starts with us.

So today, stop thinking big. Instead think small. Today, think about your culture. Maybe even grab a pen and write down the people God has placed in your culture. The people He’s call you to love and to serve. Think about your family, your most immediate culture. If your married, think about your spouse,  and let me invite you to say a short and simple prayer as you begin your week.

Dear God, thank you for the culture you’ve given me. Thank you for my family. God I pray today that you would help me to lead them well. Help me to care more deeply for them than I ever have before. Give me the strength to serve them and influence them towards you. I pray that in Jesus name. Amen.

1 Timothy 3:5 – If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?

Lead your family.

Lead the church.

Change a culture.
