Change Agents: Arts & Entertainment

Change Agents: Arts & Entertainment


As change agents, we are called to change culture. This starts by small acts of influence growing on a daily basis. Begin influencing yourself, then your circle of family and friends, then on an organizational and community level. You’ll son find yourself to be profound influencer. It’s important to be intentional about your level of influence.


Sociologist Randall Collins explains, “Civilizations have been defined by a very small percentage of cultural philosophers.” He makes a very interesting conclusion: “Even if we add the minor figures in all the networks, in all of the civilizations, the total is only 2,700. In sum, between 150 and 3,000 people (a tiny fraction of the roughly 23 billion people living between 600 B.C. and A.D. 1900) framed the major contours of all world civilizations.”


So, what does it take to be effective an effective change agent? It starts by recognizing your role in the seven mountains of culture.


The Entertainment Industry is plagued with compromise, temptation and ego.  If God is calling you to take a step in this direction of any level, understand where your battles will lay.  Here is one piece of wisdom that comes form someone that lives in this industry.

1. Make your intentions known upfront- Go into any dealing with letting others know upfront what kind of person of faith, your core values and beliefs are coming with you on this journey and not to be ashamed of who and whose you are.  Taking this step of faith will allow you to walk with integrity and to stand firm when the enemy is wanting to take you off course.  The victories with this battle will be a sign of you being a change agent and impacting culture in a mighty way.
