Creating a Culture of Overflow

From time to time certain words or ways of thinking gain real traction and become 'buzz words' that are used all over the place; sometimes in context, sometimes out of context. One such word that this has happened to in recent times is 'culture'.

It has happened for very good reasons; churches and businesses have found that culture is far more important than strategy, ability or perhaps even anointing in seeing things come to fruition in a sustainable way. Culture creates an environment in which things grow, both the bad and the good. So understanding the cultures we need and the specifics of how to create these cultures is very important.

Many leaders in church and business realise 'culture' is important, but perhaps due to the intangible nature of 'culture', don't fully know why or what to do about it.

This book is designed to be a tool to help leaders get to grips with culture in a practical way. The first chapter, by Paul Manwaring looks at what culture is and why it is so important before the rest of the book further breaks down some of the constituent parts of culture and gives practical ideas for leading yourself and others to new cultures that bring life.

This book specifically explores creating a culture that frees people to live life in all of its fullness. However there maybe other elements of Kingdom culture that you want to develop and embed in your church or business. Our hope is the principles described in this book help you to implement the cultural change that is needed. Our hope is to turn an intangible word into something practical and action based that will help us all lead our churches, business and families into a revival that will overflow into a cultural reformation of society.
