In this episode of the Lead Culture Podcast, Jenni Catron is joined by Dr. Barry Jones and Camille Holland from Irving Bible Church to explore the “Commit” phase of the Lead Culture Framework—a crucial stage in sustaining organizational culture.

Culture isn’t something you build once and forget. Momentum naturally fades, values get fuzzy, and behaviors can slip if leaders don’t actively protect and reinforce the culture they’ve worked so hard to create. Barry and Camille share how they’ve navigated this challenge over the past two years, keeping their team aligned, engaged, and thriving—even through transitions and the occasional staff departure.

Listeners will hear real stories of:

• How Irving Bible Church identified early warning signs of cultural drift.
• Practical strategies for rebuilding trust and maintaining relational connectivity across a team.
• How cultural convictions—values tailored to the organization—are reinforced through intentional rhythms, surveys, and even playful recognition like staff “trophies.”
• The importance of culture champions in sustaining progress and keeping conversations alive at every level of leadership.
• Lessons learned from maintaining momentum after the initial excitement of culture work fades.

Whether you’re a senior leader, middle manager, or emerging culture champion, this episode offers actionable insights and encouragement for keeping your team’s culture alive, relevant, and aligned with your mission.
