Shape The Culture episodes

  • A Dream Deferred: Humble Awareness
    Shape The Culture begins their new series titled A Dream Deferred. This week, a look at David's plan to build temple being rejected by God is examined. Through the introduction of this story, we see how having a humble mentality with awareness allowed David to realize that he must continue to walk in his path. Clarity and discernment comes from being able to choose the narrow path and acknowledge that we don't always get what we want. When we commit to progress, we allow ourselves to walk our path being content to play our role.

  • Solid Foundation: Stand On It

    This week Shape The Culture wraps up their Solid Foundation series. This episode focuses on how having a solid foundation leads to authority. When Jesus spoke to the people, he spoke with authority that comes from weathering our storms and learning the valuable lessons experience has to teach us. When we dedicate ourselves to building a solid foundation, we place ourselves in a position to stand on who we are and stand behind the choices we make.

  • Solid Foundation: Stand Through The Storm

    Shape The Culture continues their series titled Solid Foundation. This week the parable of the foundation built with rock and sand is examined again. The focus is now on the sandy foundation and how the storm wipes away a foundation without any experience. When storms come, we must learn how to stand through them. Standing through the storm is how we step out on faith and provide ourselves with the experience and insight needed to make our foundation solid.

  • Solid Foundation: Practice Wisdom

    Shape The Culture continues their series titled Solid Foundation. This week, the practice of wisdom is discussed as we examine what it means to build on a solid foundation of rock. Through the storms, trials, and tribulations, we are called to continually try new things while stepping out on faith. Only when we put into practice what we hear from God will we learn the true value of wisdom. Each time you step out on faith you are giving yourself the opportunity to learn valuable information while increasing your clarity and discernment.

  • Solid Foundation: Willpower

    Shape The Culture starts their new series titled Solid Foundation. For the first episode, the parable of Jesus turning away people performing miracles is used to discuss our willpower. It's important that we gather the strength we need to ask ourselves hard questions and work on our character before focusing on our accomplishments. You can do great work with bad intentions. We have to make sure we know where our motivation comes from before we seek out what we want in life. When our intentions are pure there's no limit to how far we can go.

  • Greater Than: Choose For Yourself
    Shape The Culture concludes their series titled Greater Than. This week, we travel to the end of Joshua's journey as he tells the people to choose for themselves. We have to be able to make the decision for ourselves on if we will follow God or not. We have to be able to rally ourselves to hold to our commitments and follow through with the right action. Only you can lead yourself to where you are supposed to be.

  • Greater Than: Unbelievable
    Shape The Culture continues the series titled Greater Than. This week the story of Joshua telling the sun to stand still is told as we examine what it takes to have unbelievable faith. To be greater than, we must be willing to accept that we can do the unthinkable and have the mindset of victory at all times. God already believes that we can do more than we ever imagined, we just have to be willing to believe in ourselves. By stepping out with active faith, we become participants in our journey rather than being passive witnesses.

  • Greater Than: Hard Work + Patience
    Shape The Culture continues their series titled Greater Than. This week, the story of Joshua and Jericho is explored as we learn how important it is to be devoted to our calling and discernment. Just like Joshua, we must be willing to put in the work and have the patience to receive what God has ready for us. We must follow our instructions precisely and demonstrate our faith by committing ourselves to right action. The process doesn't always make sense but understanding comes with time so we must stay down for the come up.

  • Greater Than: The Past Is A Present
    Shape The Culture continues their Greater Than series. This week, Shape The Culture takes a look at the miracle of the parting of the Jordan River and how Joshua was able to learn from Moses and the parting of the Red Sea. Through parallel miracles, we are able to see how the past is a present to help us learn how to walk in our faith, trust in ourselves, and lead to victory. We have a responsibility to learn from the lives of others as we witness their success and shortcomings.

  • Greater Than: Unconventional
    Shape The Culture continues their series titled Greater Than. This week, we learn the blessing behind being unconventional and sharing God's grace with everyone no matter the situation. As we read about Joshua, Rahab, and the two spies, we see that this was an extraordinary moment for God's grace to be shared. By stepping outside of their comfort zone, everybody in the story was able to reach new heights spiritually and live in their own greatness. When we decide to be unconventional we allow ourselves to upgrade from an earthly mentality to a heavenly mentality.
