Fighting the Lulaby
In a world where the rate of change continues to accelerate, churches and faith-based organizations must embrace adaptability to stay relevant and effective. This article explores the importance of cultivating a culture of change within church leadership and the broader faith community. Drawing from post-COVID trends, real-world examples, and pastoral reflections, it highlights how many churches initially rose to the challenge by innovating digital communication and discipleship—only to later settle back into comfort and complacency. Readers are challenged to consider whether their current systems truly support meaningful spiritual engagement, community service, and outreach. The piece emphasizes the urgent need for creative engagement with culture, a renewed focus on mission-driven leadership, and practical steps to shift church priorities. Ultimately, it’s a call for leaders to think outside the box, reignite purpose, and equip believers to share the love and truth of God in a way that transforms both congregations and communities.

Part 1: Naming a Vision
We all have our own understanding of vision. Some may think that it is a pie-in-the-sky, abstract concept created by the folks in corner offices with giant glass windows, or maybe from those who interview focus groups in a think tank somewhere. Perhaps you see vision as something quaint to talk about, but not usually applicable to the throws of real life. That notion is completely understandable because if not understood and implemented correctly, that is what vision often becomes. So, what is vision? Simply put, vision is a statement that paints a picture of the desired end stated in such a way that people can see it, see themselves in it, and implement it.
