In this talk, we explore why operations matter more than we often realise. Far from being the “boring” side of leadership, operations is where vision and values are embodied – where faith becomes visible in the daily grind.

Drawing on biblical examples like Noah, Joseph, Nehemiah, and the early church, as well as modern business stories from Africa, we’ll see how operations shape culture, reveal integrity, and steward people, processes, and resources in ways that can restore, multiply, and bless.

From the challenge of in-congruence between vision and practice, to building systems that prioritise both efficiency and dignity, this talk highlights how leaders can create redemptive operations that model the gospel.

Whether you’re a church leader, business owner, or part of a team, this conversation will help you reflect on how your everyday practices align with the vision God has given you.

Key themes:

• Operations as the embodiment of faith and vision

• The danger of in-congruence in Christian leadership

• Biblical patterns of stewardship in action

• Practical business stories of redemptive operations

• Balancing restoration, multiplication, and blessing in leadership

“Vision may inspire, but it’s the daily grind where the gospel is truly lived out.”
