Duane teaches the importance of developing a "Culture Of The Word" in the church and our personal life. During challenging times like the 2019 shutdown, churches with a strong foundation in God's Word thrived, while those lacking this foundation struggled or closed.

A Word-Centered Culture embraces these five elements: 1. Value and reverence Scripture (Psalm 19:10). 2. Prioritize God's Word above everything else (Psalm 138:2). 3. Build a strong foundation on the Word (Matthew 7:24-27). 4. Acknowledge the Bible as absolute truth. 5. Submit to the authority of Scripture. 

Prioritize Scripture over personal opinions, emotions, and cultural trends. Stand firm on biblical truth, even in the face of opposition, and allow the Holy Spirit to transform rather than trying to bend God's Word to fit preferences. By embracing a "Culture Of The Word," believers can become a counterculture to the prevalent lies and corruption in society, ultimately reflecting the love, grace, and truth of Jesus Christ.
