In this episode of Conversation Today, I talk about something every leader, pastor, and organization wrestles with: living your values instead of just talking about them. It’s easy to print values on a wall or put them on a website, but if they don’t show up in our actions, they don’t shape anything. Culture isn’t what we say—it’s what we do. Using Exodus 32 and the story of the golden calf, I unpack how values drift from conviction to decoration when we stop practicing them. Any value we elevate above obedience, intimacy, and actual action can quietly become an idol. When values become image-driven instead of intimacy-driven, we build ministries and teams that look polished but lack power.

Whether you're leading a church, a team, or your own household, this episode will challenge you to examine the gap between the values you declare and the values you actually live.
