does culture matter well let's start does culture matter well let's start here if your culture is healthy amazing here if your culture is healthy amazing here if your culture is healthy amazing things start to happen people love being things start to happen people love being things start to happen people love being there great leaders not only come they there great leaders not only come they there great leaders not only come they stick around you get an a-level team stick around you get an a-level team stick around you get an a-level team people grow in their faith and your people grow in their faith and your people grow in their faith and your church becomes attractive to the church becomes attractive to the church becomes attractive to the community so the thing about culture is community so the thing about culture is community so the thing about culture is culture is invisible but it's culture is invisible but it's culture is invisible but it's determinative you can't see it but it determinative you can't see it but it determinative you can't see it but it defines a lot so for a lot of churches defines a lot so for a lot of churches defines a lot so for a lot of churches sadly the culture isn't healthy and a sadly the culture isn't healthy and a sadly the culture isn't healthy and a bad culture will consistently undermine bad culture will consistently undermine bad culture will consistently undermine an amazing Mission Vision and strategy an amazing Mission Vision and strategy an amazing Mission Vision and strategy let me say that again you can have the let me say that again you can have the let me say that again you can have the most powerful Mission vision statement most powerful Mission vision statement most powerful Mission vision statement the best strategy but if your culture is the best strategy but if your culture is the best strategy but if your culture is bad it undercuts it all as Peter Ducker bad it undercuts it all as Peter Ducker bad it undercuts it all as Peter Ducker famously said culture eats strategy for famously said culture eats strategy for famously said culture eats strategy for breakf breakf breakf so if you think about it culture is the so if you think about it culture is the so if you think about it culture is the reason you love shopping in some stores reason you love shopping in some stores reason you love shopping in some stores and despise shopping in others it's why and despise shopping in others it's why and despise shopping in others it's why you love some Airlines and you pass on you love some Airlines and you pass on you love some Airlines and you pass on others it's like nope not flying them others it's like nope not flying them others it's like nope not flying them it's why some families always have fun it's why some families always have fun it's why some families always have fun when they're together and others can't when they're together and others can't when they're together and others can't stand to be in the same room that's stand to be in the same room that's stand to be in the same room that's culture so the question becomes how do culture so the question becomes how do culture so the question becomes how do you create an amazing culture so I'm you create an amazing culture so I'm you create an amazing culture so I'm going to share with you five keys to going to share with you five keys to going to share with you five keys to creating an amazing culture first you creating an amazing culture first you creating an amazing culture first you got to be honest with yourself about got to be honest with yourself about got to be honest with yourself about your actual culture so whether you've your actual culture so whether you've your actual culture so whether you've ever written down your core cultural ever written down your core cultural ever written down your core cultural values or not I promise you your church values or not I promise you your church values or not I promise you your church has a culture your culture is what your has a culture your culture is what your has a culture your culture is what your church feels like it's how people behave

church feels like it's how people behave church feels like it's how people behave and how people treat each other for and how people treat each other for and how people treat each other for example like you walk into any example like you walk into any example like you walk into any restaurant you can immediately tell what restaurant you can immediately tell what restaurant you can immediately tell what their culture really is okay the values their culture really is okay the values their culture really is okay the values on the wall might say service with a on the wall might say service with a on the wall might say service with a smile or best food in town but a simple smile or best food in town but a simple smile or best food in town but a simple look around we'll tell you whether the look around we'll tell you whether the look around we'll tell you whether the staff likes each other or they customers staff likes each other or they customers staff likes each other or they customers a trip to the bathroom might show you a trip to the bathroom might show you a trip to the bathroom might show you stained paint a lack of toilet paper a stained paint a lack of toilet paper a stained paint a lack of toilet paper a dirty sink and then walking back to your dirty sink and then walking back to your dirty sink and then walking back to your table the deor is nice enough but the table the deor is nice enough but the table the deor is nice enough but the prices on the menu aren't cheap and yet prices on the menu aren't cheap and yet prices on the menu aren't cheap and yet you've noticed a burned out light bulb you've noticed a burned out light bulb you've noticed a burned out light bulb so those are all cultural cues and let's so those are all cultural cues and let's so those are all cultural cues and let's finish the experience okay when your finish the experience okay when your finish the experience okay when your meal finally arrives high-end restaurant meal finally arrives high-end restaurant meal finally arrives high-end restaurant food is lukewarm and when you tell your food is lukewarm and when you tell your food is lukewarm and when you tell your server he's just going to like H all server he's just going to like H all server he's just going to like H all right and because that's the eighth time right and because that's the eighth time right and because that's the eighth time that's happened today so despite that's happened today so despite that's happened today so despite whatever the owner and the manager think whatever the owner and the manager think whatever the owner and the manager think what is the real culture at the what is the real culture at the what is the real culture at the restaurant the manager might say well we restaurant the manager might say well we restaurant the manager might say well we value Excellence but the reality is n value Excellence but the reality is n value Excellence but the reality is n they don't and the same is true for a they don't and the same is true for a they don't and the same is true for a lot of churches what the leader wants lot of churches what the leader wants lot of churches what the leader wants what the leader imagines isn't happening what the leader imagines isn't happening what the leader imagines isn't happening in the real world and what's written on in the real world and what's written on in the real world and what's written on the wall isn't happening down the hall the wall isn't happening down the hall the wall isn't happening down the hall so you got to get honest you might even so you got to get honest you might even so you got to get honest you might even bring in a third party and do a bring in a third party and do a bring in a third party and do a realistic assessment of your culture and realistic assessment of your culture and realistic assessment of your culture and this can be done by a consultant or this can be done by a consultant or this can be done by a consultant or someone who doesn't go to your church someone who doesn't go to your church someone who doesn't go to your church but who loves you enough to tell you the but who loves you enough to tell you the but who loves you enough to tell you the truth so when you get an honest truth so when you get an honest truth so when you get an honest assessment and you don't like it don't

assessment and you don't like it don't assessment and you don't like it don't defend it all right just listen accept defend it all right just listen accept defend it all right just listen accept it and move forward determined to make it and move forward determined to make it and move forward determined to make it better that's step number one get a it better that's step number one get a it better that's step number one get a realistic assessment number two identify realistic assessment number two identify realistic assessment number two identify and eliminate toxins so Church culture and eliminate toxins so Church culture and eliminate toxins so Church culture isn't naturally healthy because guess isn't naturally healthy because guess isn't naturally healthy because guess what people aren't naturally healthy what people aren't naturally healthy what people aren't naturally healthy okay you're not naturally healthy I'm okay you're not naturally healthy I'm okay you're not naturally healthy I'm not naturally healthy and we bring our not naturally healthy and we bring our not naturally healthy and we bring our dysfunctions to our work and as a leader dysfunctions to our work and as a leader dysfunctions to our work and as a leader one of your jobs is to figure out why one of your jobs is to figure out why one of your jobs is to figure out why your culture isn't healthy and then your culture isn't healthy and then your culture isn't healthy and then change that so start looking for the change that so start looking for the change that so start looking for the toxins that are making your culture toxins that are making your culture toxins that are making your culture unhealthy like what are they and I want unhealthy like what are they and I want unhealthy like what are they and I want to give you a list obviously it can be a to give you a list obviously it can be a to give you a list obviously it can be a lot more than this but this is what you lot more than this but this is what you lot more than this but this is what you want to look for conflict like are want to look for conflict like are want to look for conflict like are people always arguing and bickering people always arguing and bickering people always arguing and bickering behind the scenes selfish behind the scenes selfish behind the scenes selfish what about a lack of passion for the what about a lack of passion for the what about a lack of passion for the mission people don't even know what the mission people don't even know what the mission people don't even know what the mission is and or they know but it's mission is and or they know but it's mission is and or they know but it's like oh yeah same old same old or even like oh yeah same old same old or even like oh yeah same old same old or even personal agendas right where everybody's personal agendas right where everybody's personal agendas right where everybody's kind of competing to get their own way kind of competing to get their own way kind of competing to get their own way now if you want to drill down a little now if you want to drill down a little now if you want to drill down a little bit further on toxicity I've got a lot bit further on toxicity I've got a lot bit further on toxicity I've got a lot of resources over on my website at Kerne of resources over on my website at Kerne of resources over on my website at Kerne hof.com and you can check that out there hof.com and you can check that out there hof.com and you can check that out there but you can't eliminate what you don't but you can't eliminate what you don't but you can't eliminate what you don't identify so what you need to do is identify so what you need to do is identify so what you need to do is identify the things you want remove identify the things you want remove identify the things you want remove moved from your culture so now you've moved from your culture so now you've moved from your culture so now you've done that you got a realistic assessment done that you got a realistic assessment done that you got a realistic assessment you've identified the toxins third thing you've identified the toxins third thing you've identified the toxins third thing and I want to say this just because I'm and I want to say this just because I'm and I want to say this just because I'm talking to a lot of church leaders don't talking to a lot of church leaders don't talking to a lot of church leaders don't mistake your beliefs with your values so mistake your beliefs with your values so mistake your beliefs with your values so know this the number one mistake church

know this the number one mistake church know this the number one mistake church leaders make when they're trying to leaders make when they're trying to leaders make when they're trying to Define their culture is that they Define their culture is that they Define their culture is that they confuse their beliefs with their values confuse their beliefs with their values confuse their beliefs with their values so like a lot of churches you probably so like a lot of churches you probably so like a lot of churches you probably value scripture prayer and obviously you value scripture prayer and obviously you value scripture prayer and obviously you value Jesus right so here's here's the value Jesus right so here's here's the value Jesus right so here's here's the problem it's super easy to make an problem it's super easy to make an problem it's super easy to make an overly spiritual set of values that you overly spiritual set of values that you overly spiritual set of values that you think are your cultural values because think are your cultural values because think are your cultural values because well you value the Bible and it's great well you value the Bible and it's great well you value the Bible and it's great that you value scripture but that that you value scripture but that that you value scripture but that belongs in your doctrinal statement not belongs in your doctrinal statement not belongs in your doctrinal statement not in your core value statements so if your in your core value statements so if your in your core value statements so if your values are we believe in God we believe values are we believe in God we believe values are we believe in God we believe in Jesus we believe in the Bible in in Jesus we believe in the Bible in in Jesus we believe in the Bible in prayer in the holy spirit it's like no prayer in the holy spirit it's like no prayer in the holy spirit it's like no that's your doctrinal stuff and that is that's your doctrinal stuff and that is that's your doctrinal stuff and that is why a lot of churches struggle to create why a lot of churches struggle to create why a lot of churches struggle to create create a great culture leaders go to create a great culture leaders go to create a great culture leaders go to Great pains to write a mission and a Great pains to write a mission and a Great pains to write a mission and a vision statement work hard on their vision statement work hard on their vision statement work hard on their belief or doctrinal statements but they belief or doctrinal statements but they belief or doctrinal statements but they leave culture to Chance by not taking leave culture to Chance by not taking leave culture to Chance by not taking the time to encode it so they leave it the time to encode it so they leave it the time to encode it so they leave it to twist in the wind and you're like to twist in the wind and you're like to twist in the wind and you're like well you know I kind of have a Vibe I well you know I kind of have a Vibe I well you know I kind of have a Vibe I hope it gets caught but you never bother hope it gets caught but you never bother hope it gets caught but you never bother to teach it here's the reality without to teach it here's the reality without to teach it here's the reality without defining your culture it's almost defining your culture it's almost defining your culture it's almost impossible to export it accurately and impossible to export it accurately and impossible to export it accurately and train your staff and vol unteers in it train your staff and vol unteers in it train your staff and vol unteers in it you've got to Define it and the best way you've got to Define it and the best way you've got to Define it and the best way to define your culture and to make it to define your culture and to make it to define your culture and to make it easy for your people to live out easy for your people to live out easy for your people to live out day-to-day is through your Church's core day-to-day is through your Church's core day-to-day is through your Church's core value statements now the vast majority value statements now the vast majority value statements now the vast majority of churches have core value statements of churches have core value statements of churches have core value statements that honestly don't mean anything so

that honestly don't mean anything so that honestly don't mean anything so it's your behaviors not beliefs that it's your behaviors not beliefs that it's your behaviors not beliefs that determine culture and encoding your determine culture and encoding your determine culture and encoding your culture into core value statements will culture into core value statements will culture into core value statements will not only help you define but replicate a not only help you define but replicate a not only help you define but replicate a healthy culture in your church so number healthy culture in your church so number healthy culture in your church so number four model the change you want to see as four model the change you want to see as four model the change you want to see as you go through defining your Church's you go through defining your Church's you go through defining your Church's culture and values realize this your culture and values realize this your culture and values realize this your church will only be as healthy as you church will only be as healthy as you church will only be as healthy as you are yep you can do this whole exercise are yep you can do this whole exercise are yep you can do this whole exercise you can say okay we're about like you can say okay we're about like you can say okay we're about like excellent service we're about welcoming excellent service we're about welcoming excellent service we're about welcoming the newcomer but if you got your back the newcomer but if you got your back the newcomer but if you got your back turned to new people if you don't value turned to new people if you don't value turned to new people if you don't value people if you're not there it's not people if you're not there it's not people if you're not there it's not going to happen expecting a church to be going to happen expecting a church to be going to happen expecting a church to be healthy when its leader isn't healthy is healthy when its leader isn't healthy is healthy when its leader isn't healthy is like expecting an athlete to run a like expecting an athlete to run a like expecting an athlete to run a marathon with a missing heart okay it's marathon with a missing heart okay it's marathon with a missing heart okay it's not possible you can't do that any not possible you can't do that any not possible you can't do that any conversation about church Health starts conversation about church Health starts conversation about church Health starts in the mirror for a leader so you can in the mirror for a leader so you can in the mirror for a leader so you can write the most powerful core value write the most powerful core value write the most powerful core value statements but if you don't model them statements but if you don't model them statements but if you don't model them they'll never be a reality as I discuss they'll never be a reality as I discuss they'll never be a reality as I discuss in uh my program The Art of church in uh my program The Art of church in uh my program The Art of church growth healthy leaders produce healthy growth healthy leaders produce healthy growth healthy leaders produce healthy churches the healthier you are as a churches the healthier you are as a churches the healthier you are as a leader the healthier your church will be leader the healthier your church will be leader the healthier your church will be and the same goes for all the changes and the same goes for all the changes and the same goes for all the changes you want want to see as a leader you you want want to see as a leader you you want want to see as a leader you have to embody the things that you want have to embody the things that you want have to embody the things that you want your organization to embody so let's get your organization to embody so let's get your organization to embody so let's get some examples number one you want to see some examples number one you want to see some examples number one you want to see a church that invites people on Sundays a church that invites people on Sundays a church that invites people on Sundays then you make some friends with people then you make some friends with people then you make some friends with people who don't go to church and invite them who don't go to church and invite them who don't go to church and invite them on Sunday you want to see a church that on Sunday you want to see a church that on Sunday you want to see a church that gives generously generosity is part of
