We have a great staff at KFA. Today we were talking about some changes we needed to make to go from ‘good to great’ in one of our church systems. It’s still amazing to me to realize that change is hard no matter who you are or where you sit. It’s especially hard if it isn’t your idea but it somehow affects you.
There are some signs that we’re not really ready for change. See how many apply to you . . .
Eight Signs You’re Not Ready for Change
- You’re afraid of the culture.
- Your life is fast and cluttered and there’s no space to dream.
- You value getting it right over getting started.
- You believe conflict is a bad thing.
- You’ve stopped asking questions.
- You think systems and strategies are the enemies of anointing or creativity.
- You’re expecting to receive credit for your ideas.
- You think you’ve already arrived.
What would you add to that list?
The question is less about whether or not your organization is ready for change – the bigger question is are you ready for change?
And be blessed.

You are afraid of people expecting more
You can only initiate as much change as you have leaders in positions and with the bandwidth to lead change. Leaders initiate change and managers maintain the status quo and manage the existing process.
To go along with the getting started - ready, fire, aim is the motto at our business. Get ready but don't over analyze before starting!
Jesus was a master of change. He did not fit into the mode of the church ministry mode of His time.
