The Faith in Real Life Podcast

Church Culture Isn’t an Accident: How Vision, Values & Leadership Shape Everything | Ep. 20

Nat Crawford Season 1 Episode 20

"Culture is happening in your church—whether you’ve defined it or not."

In Episode 20 of Faith in Real Life, Nat Crawford and Dan Coke dive deep into one of the most overlooked areas of church leadership: organizational culture.

From defining mission, vision, and values to real talk on discipleship, communication, and leadership buy-in—this episode will challenge and equip anyone involved in shaping the life of a local church.

They also explore how myths, stories, and unspoken norms often guide churches more than the Bible does—and how intentional leadership can change that.

🟠 Key Topics Covered:

  • How to define and build a healthy church culture
  • Why mission and vision must be revisited regularly
  • What it really takes to make disciples
  • How to lead cultural change in a church
  • The hidden power of personal stories, family values, and buy-in from leadership
  • Why values must be visible, not vague

📌 Whether you're a pastor, ministry leader, or church member—this conversation is for you.
