Culture doesn’t drift in the right direction—it gets defined.

In this episode of Speak On Purpose, we move to Step Two of The Great Church Culture Blueprint: Write It. Because if your culture only exists in your head, your team will create their own version—and it won’t be the one you intended.

Using a simple (and slightly painful) family fudge recipe story, we talk about why culture has to be written down before it can be repeated. Hope isn’t a strategy, and clarity isn’t optional. When values stay vague, behaviors get inconsistent.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why culture that isn’t written gets rewritten
• How to turn values into clear, repeatable behaviors
• What “Culture Commandments” look like in real life
• How clarity creates confidence for your team

If you want a culture that lasts beyond you, it has to be defined—clearly, simply, and intentionally.

Because culture isn’t mystical.
It’s a recipe.
And recipes only work when they’re written down.
