Leading the Shift: Creating Intentional Change in Church Culture

What does it take to lead meaningful change in a church that’s already thriving? In this episode of the Shepherds Podcast, Pastor Jordan Carter sits down with Pastor Whit George of Church on the Move in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to talk about the weight, wisdom, and intentionality required to lead cultural change in ministry. As a succession pastor stepping into a legacy shaped by decades of faithfulness—including the pioneering leadership of his father, Willie George—Pastor Whit shares what it looks like to discern the timing of God and courageously lead people into a new season. 

This conversation pulls back the curtain on the real decisions behind cultural transformation. This is not just about strategy. It is about spiritual discernment, leadership conviction, and the willingness to make difficult decisions for the sake of long-term fruit. If you are sensing that your church or ministry is stepping into a new season, this episode will challenge and equip you to lead change with clarity, humility, and bold obedience.
