Andy Crouch just wrapped his speaking here at Catalyst on the mainstage. Here are a few key take-aways from his message on “creating culture”—as you read, consider how you can apply these principles to the need for creating justice for the oppressed.

What cultural good is God calling you to create - and who will be in your circle of 3?

*****
- Every cultural good begins with 3 people. Occasionally 2, never 1. Google began with 2 guys - when they added a third to their creating circle, that was when the idea began to move and explode.
- The circle of three can’t do it by themselves, however. The circle of three needs to grow to 12.
- The circle of 12 - these 12 bring a depth to the work that wasn’t there before.
- Eventually a wider circle forms - reaching critical mass at about 120. The circle of 120 spread the new cultural good into the worldin ways that the 12 alone never could.

The amazing good news - all of us have a “three.”
Everyone in this room could be part of that little circle of three than creates something new in the world that no other group of people could create.
There is something that you and your little circle could create that, if you don’t create it, no one else ever will.
