Ezra Part 16: Culture Shift (Ezra 10:5-44)

If we really want to see positive culture change, there are a few things we need to know, things we see at the end of the book of Ezra. Culture shift will require follow-through on the decisions agreed upon in the moment, and God is fully committed to supporting the changes He asks us to make. Culture shift also requires fathering, people of influence taking responsibility together to facilitate the shift.  Since culture shift is a process, not just an event, influencers who can help walk out this process with us are vital! Finally, we need to know that God-honoring culture shift will face opposition. People will see things differently, and discussion will be needed. We then must follow Jesus forward together, building according to God's Word.
