Module 8.3 – Leading Through Lifestyle and Culture

📖 Lesson Summary:
In this lesson, Michael Brodeur explores how core values influence leadership and culture. He explains that leaders set the foundation for the culture of their organizations by establishing strong, Christ-centered values.

Brodeur emphasizes that core values are more than just words—they are principles that drive action. A transformational leadership culture is built when values are consistently modeled, reinforced, and applied. Leaders must be intentional in defining and living out their values, ensuring they align with the vision and mission of God’s Kingdom.

📖 Scripture Focus:
“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21
