Discover how Kingdom leaders shift culture by embodying transformation, not pointing out flaws.

Are you shaping the culture around you, or just pointing out what’s wrong with it?

It’s so tempting when we think about cultural transformation to immediately see what’s missing in the people around us. But the deepest change always begins within us.

If we long to see kingdom culture in our families, or breakthrough in our workplaces, we can’t just point it out - we must embody it. Start with you. Start over. Start overcoming. Partner with God to let Him transform every part of your life that doesn’t yet look like Him.

David modeled this so beautifully in the Psalms. Before leading a nation into worship and victory, he prayed, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23–24). Transformation in Israel flowed from the transformation that began in David’s own heart.

When we demonstrate change instead of just talking about it, something powerful happens: people around us get hungry. Culture shifts because the atmosphere shifts. Like a thermostat, your life begins to set the tone in the room, showing everyone what’s possible.

May we be leaders who lead - not by telling people what they lack, but by living in such a way that creates appetite for the Kingdom they see in us.
