 Right. Okay, so we're looking at culture, kingdom culture, specifically, and so some of the things to understand about culture is that these are value, these are customs, and we are, you know, why are we looking at culture and why should we be concerned or why should we give it importance? Because it involves people and people do have, whenever people gather together or interact together, you know, there are these intangibles, you know, like some things we maybe can spell out, the rules of engagement, certain things cannot be spelled out, and a culture is a very strong, I would say it's a strong instructor, or it can be a very strong, I forget the word, you know, very strong characteristic which can actually, you know, enhance the team, enhance the team, enhance the organization. If it is, if it is the right thing, if it is the right culture. So when we look into the word of God, you know, we know that all customs and everything is transcended by what is of the kingdom. Right. So when you look at the word of God, look at the word of God and we see, okay, this is something that we see as the culture of God's kingdom. Right. In dealing with people in interacting with people. This is something that we see as culture so that can be something that or that has to be something that we can intentionally create nurture and keep consistent over a period of time because this culture requires that consistency, right, that consistent nature, it requires time, right, there's something that needs to be done intentionally, and, and it's, it's, it's good when it when we see, you know, this healthy culture in the team in an organization. So, so it is developed over time, it has to be created, it has to be nurtured. So we see several scriptures like, let me just share. So what you see coming up. So we see what contains 11 and verse two. Okay, where Paul says, I praise you brethren that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions, just as I deliver them to you. So he's talking about some, some customs or traditions that he delivered them. Okay. Again, in second Thessalonians, chapter two verse 15, therefore brethren stand fast and hold the traditions which you have taught, whether by word or by episode. So he's talking about something that was verbally done and also, you know, instructed through the episode. Chapter three and verse six, but we command you brethren in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you withdraw from every brother walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us. So, and then, you know, when we, when we look at second Thessalonians three, let's just turn it there. We and verse, yeah, verse six. So we, we go on and then we see that the context of that before you yourselves know how you ought to follow us for we were not disorderly among you. Nor did we eat anyone's bread free of charge with work with labor and toil night and day that we might not be a burden to any of you. Not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us. And he goes out to say, you know, even with you we will command you if anyone will not work, neither will he eat. Okay, so, so talking about a very something that is of high moral value and character, how they should actually interact and as ministers, what kind of an example they should, they should leave behind. Okay, and what they should actually have in their own lives as they, so we see that, okay, this is something that they commanded something that they, you know, led by example and something that they taught as well. So, so this thing of kingdom culture based on the word of God, some of these way of doing things. They may not be chapter and verse, but we see based on, well, the truth of God's word, the Council of God's word, we lie that in our lives. Okay, so the thing is that it needs to be taught first thing. Okay, so it needs to be taught to people, and it needs to be followed by us because we produce after our own kind. Okay, so if we want to see a certain kind of culture in the team, then we need to have it ourselves as leaders in our lives, like, or follow that in our lives very strategically, like for example, if we want our teams not to indulge in backbiting or gossiping, you know, talking ill of others or pulling others down, then we need to have that example ourselves, right, because they are observing us as leaders, and we need to have that in our own lives. So that's very, very important that the culture that we have or we follow is what we will reproduce in our teams. So that is something important. So whatever we want to see, whether it's excellence, whether it's integrity, whether it's qualities like humility and so on, we need to have it ourselves. We need to pursue or demonstrate it and walk in it ourselves, and then we can expect to see it in the team. So not only do we teach but also we follow it ourselves and we will see it. So it could be things like punctuality and simple things like that. So we follow it in ourselves, we follow it and then we can expect to see it as we teach it, as we reinforce. We can expect to see that culture unfold, you know, like maybe some will catch it immediately, others will catch it over some time and then, but we know that that is the culture. And culture has this way of reinforcing, you know, people reinforce it within the team, right. No longer does it have to be the leader, you know, coming and saying, you know, this is not right, this is how we need to do, but others, people themselves reinforce it one to another. And say, okay, this is the expectation and we need to do this, so let's do that. Okay, so as part of that we need to clearly communicate, it's very important what is accepted and what is not accepted as part of culture. For example, if you look at the core values, you know, there's something that we have here in our people's church and we, you know, we share it with people who wish to become members of church. We share with them, okay, so this is what we have as our core values, you know, integrity, excellence, pioneering, unity, opportunity and relationship. In other words, we're saying that, okay, these are things that are of value to us that we want to hold here. Integrity is something that we don't want to compromise on, excellence is something that we are constantly working towards. And we want it in everything in our own lives personally and also in things that we do as a team, pioneering, doing things that has not been done before, maybe some new things. Not hesitating to venture into that, right, unity, unity of the spirit, you know, so opportunity, giving opportunity for all to serve in different ways to participate in ministry and relationship, you know, our fellowship, relationship with one another of value, which means that, you know, as we create this, things that actually come against it, you know, things that come against this, Kim, the things that try to destroy this, or, you know, hit at this, erode this, these values will be watchful, and we will not indulge in these things. Okay, so, so only then will the culture be strong. Right. If we allow this, we say, okay, this is what we have as a culture. And we allow those other things to be there. Right. Then it's going to be a problem. So, so we don't, we should not reward anything that tries to erode this. These values, the co values, everything, anything that tries to attack these co values, we should not encourage or we should not reward. Okay, so we need to, you know, it's, it's a daily thing. It's a daily thing. It's a, it's, I mean, the wisdom of God when we're leading teams to reinforce it. We should not accept the scripture says, you know, don't grow weary while doing it for a new time you will be able to read the reward. And I think this applicable here as well, many times when we want to sometimes grow weary and we say, okay, whatever. And we just, you know, allow things to happen. But that's going to be detrimental. Right. And whatever we built over the years, it's going to slip. So, don't grow weary. Don't grow tired. Continue to reiterate, encourage. Continue to stand boldly, firmly against those things which are, which would erode these calls, these values. So don't reward, don't encourage these things. Well, the other thing is also to affirm when things are done right to reward that and reward, you know, when we say reward, it doesn't mean that, okay, you're giving a prize formally. Excuse me. You're not right. You know, giving a prize, you know, no, it's just that complimenting. It's just to just let people know that, hey, you recognize that. I saw that. I saw what you did. And it is good. It's good that you did that. And sometimes it's just a simple statement, reaffirming what they did. And that has its own reward. So just to reinforce, I mean, reaffirming, that was really nice. What you did, what you said, and how you did it, and how you showed up despite, you know, all the challenges and what you put out there. Awesome. It was good. And, well, sometimes it's just one on one. And sometimes maybe it's in a team, you're addressing the team and you just call out, oh, this was done. And I hope, you know, if people didn't notice, just want to acknowledge that something was done by this person, so and so. And really appreciate that. Great going. Keep going. So affirming when things do, when people do things right. Not really flattering. Flattery is like making it a big thing when it is actually not or, you know, not being truthful about something. So all that is flattery. But this is, you know, giving credit to what is due in proportion to what is what has happened. Affirm. And when people don't get it right, correct it, correct them and do it lovingly. Okay. One example is what we see in community culture, a culture in a thriving community is what we see in Acts chapter two. Okay, so let's see. And this is again from House of God, chapter nine, book by Pastor Ashish. Acts chapter 244 to 47. This is what we read. Now, all who believed were together and had all things in common. And sold their possessions and goods and divided them among all as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house. They ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people and the Lord added to the church daily those who are being saved. Now, this of course is context is the early church and people had come from the surrounding regions to Jerusalem. And it was, you know, during the Feast of the First Fruits and the Feast of the Pentecost and they were there around that time. And the outpouring of the Holy Spirit happened. The church was born and this was happening. It was a great revival and daily people were being saved and added to the church so that people had come who did not have homes, etc. So it says here that they were together. They had all things in common. They sold their possessions and goods and divided them as people had needs and they continued with one accord in the temple and so on. So we see this kind of a culture, this kind of generosity and kindness and everything in this community of this early church. So we see several things here. They did it because of Jesus. They did it because he was in the center of it all. So we see that there was worship together and they praise God together and they continued daily with one accord in the temple, meaning they met for prayer and worship and studying the Word or being instructed in the Apostles' doctrine. They were there with teachable hearts and they were receiving everything. So everything was centered around the Lord Jesus. So spiritual growth was not something that was in the periphery but was right at the center. So that's something for us to learn about community and church community and the culture. A kingdom culture that we can actually foster. So spiritual nurture, spiritual growth is at the center. It's not just people gathering together and feeling good about each other, saying nice things about each other, complimenting one another and then leading. So it is spiritual growth is happening, spiritual nurture is happening, spiritual instruction is happening and everything was centered around that, around the person of Jesus. So prayer, worship, sharing God's Word, sharing of material things, all that happened and it was around Jesus. So that is a very important thing when we gather together as a community of believers, this was a community of believers to have that as the focus. If we do not have that as a focus then something else will become the focus. We are meeting for food or we are meeting for, when we say we are meeting for fellowship, now this needs to be at the center. Of course, there will be this friendship and fellowship and companionship and mutual encouragement and all that will happen as an overflow, as an outflow. But this is the center. Okay, so character Christlikeness is developed in people's lives, people grow together. So we see several things as an outcome of this, they are serving each other in love, compassion, equipping one another, empowering one another, and then also encouraging one another to good works, that is the exhortation that we see in scripture. In Hebrews we see that exhort one another daily, which you have while it is, let me just read that, Hebrews 3 and verse 13. Exort one another daily while it is called today, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. So this sharpening one another, this exhorting of one another, encouraging one another, keeps happening. So this is something that we can take back, something that is of value as a community of people, and we look at us as a church, maybe we are putting a leadership position in these kind of settings, maybe it's a church, maybe it's a team, to have this as a focus. So that's something that we see as culture and to have these co-values, to have these cultures, which doesn't have this as our culture, customs and beliefs. Now we understand that this does not happen automatically. When we look at a functioning team, a thriving community, a church community, we see a ministry team that's thriving and that's having all things that are healthy. We need to understand that it has taken time for them to reach there. It has taken them to be intentional about these things to reach that place. So those are good lessons for us. When we start off, maybe we are pioneering something, we are starting off something from the ground up. So we need to understand that culture is something that I can initiate and it's not an option, but it's something that I initiate and I want to keep it in place so that it helps this community of people, whether it's the core team, the leadership team, or it is the leaders gathering together, people are gathering together, well, it is going to help. We don't have this as the culture, this as the value. And you listed out maybe four or five things that you want to based on the word of God, and you want the kingdom culture to take root and to really develop. Understand it's going to take time. It's going to be over a period of time, but we need to be consistent and keep at it and affirm it and also be mindful of things that are coming against this culture, attitudes, habits, behavior traits, and we need to not encourage that and not to reward those things because whatever is rewarded will again be repeated. If you reward something, people will feel good about it and then it will be taken as, okay, I have permission to do this again because I've been rewarded for this, so I can do it again. So it will be done again and it will be repeated. So we need to be careful. What are we rewarding? What are we affirming? What values are we rewarding? What culture are we affirming? When we do that, it will be repeated and it will take root. So let's be mindful of that. Any questions now before we go into a totally different direction, topic, any questions? Anything that you might want to add? I'll do that as well. Before we go into transitions, we are going to be looking at leading through times of transition. Typically, these transitions that could be challenging, transitions that could be, let's say, change of leadership and so on. So that is what we're going to be looking at. I just wanted to ask, were you able to go through the material that was uploaded, the 18-minute to-do list? I hope you were able to go through and it will be helpful for your own daily planning, daily implementation of those plans. So we have something called personal productive plan, personal productivity. We're going to be looking at that a little later after this whole topic on transition, leading through transition. So let's look at leading through transitions and we straight away go to, this is a great place where we see this awesome transition happening, which is Joshua chapter one. Joshua chapter one, it starts like this after the death of Moses. Okay, so Moses has been leading, guiding this whole nation right from the start and he's like this big larger-than-life character and Joshua, it could always look up to Moses. I'll look back on Moses for wisdom, for maybe bouncing his ideas, for hearing from God, what did God speak to you, Moses? So all that is happening. Now here we read after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord. It came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua, the son of non-Moses assistant, saying, Moses, my servant is dead, now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all these people to the land which I am giving to them, the children of Israel. So the Lord God is just stating the obvious, saying something has happened, something that is probably affecting Joshua every day. He's like Moses is gone, Moses is no more. Now the Lord of the Lord comes, there's Moses, my servant is dead, now therefore there's work for you, you need to do this. So Moses had already laid hands on him in front of the people and kind of acknowledged that he was a leader, that he was going to be, according to God's instructions, like Moses did that and the impartation of leadership and mantle was on him and so on. So the thing is now, for Joshua this was a big shift, there was a big change. This was a big transition now where he had to adapt to these things very quickly. He had to learn these things and there's some changes that he had to make within himself. And one thing is that he was going to be leading, that he was going to be initiating, of course relying on God, of course depending on God, but Moses is not there anymore. He cannot go to Moses for anything, Moses is not there. Now he had to rely on God directly and he had to communicate instructions and decisions and everything to the people of Israel. He had to do that very quickly, now it was on his shoulder. And the Lord encourages him and he says, As I was with Moses, I will be with you. That is what we see in verse 5. A man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. It is great reaffirmation and assurance from God himself. So Joshua had very closely observed Moses and all the things that frustrated him and his kind of relationship he had with God, he had seen all that. So God is saying, As I was with Moses, so Joshua would have immediately certain things would have clicked in his heart. I guess I have seen how you were with Moses. And now you are saying that as you were with him, the way you led him, you will lead me also, this great reassurance. And he is saying, I will never leave you nor forsake you. So these kind of transitions happen in life. It could be in formal setup in an organization or generally in life itself where we are giving leadership, maybe not in a formal sense, but we are leading. So this can be rather abrupt, these transitions or it can be planned, unexpected, it can be pleasant, it can be unpleasant, all these things. So transition basically means changing from one season to another, one time frame to another time frame. One best way to explain this one, one season, one set of circumstances and season to another, maybe under another leadership. So we are looking specifically at leadership. So transitions. So normally when there is transition, when maybe a church or a ministry or a team is going through a transition, people are part of that transition. People are part of that change. Now it could be transition in leadership or one person who is leading, maybe a team leader, it could be a transition of that person, when a person is maybe leaving, a new person is coming on, taking on the responsibility. But since it involves a whole lot of people, now people are going to be affected and people are going to have some response to it and the response need not be encouraging. It can be encouraging. For the most part, like we see here, they all said very words, the very words that the Lord says, the promise that He gives, the instruction that God gives Joshua in verse 9, have I not commanded you to be strong and have good courage, do not be afraid nor be dismayed for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. In the same words, they actually echoed that same thing. Whatever verse 18, if you see, whoever rebels against your command, it does not heed your words, in all that you command, only be strong and have good courage. So here was this response, people were actually with the vision, they said, you be strong, you be courageous and it was a prophetic thing for Joshua that they are echoing the same thing which God had told him. It's not always that way. There could be dissension, there could be disapproval, there could be comparison. Well, Joshua, Moses always did this. Why are we doing it this way? There could be comparison. Moses spoke like this, Moses did like this. Whereas you are like this. So the way the apostles were compared, people were saying in the Constitution, I'm of Paul, I'm of Peter and it was I'm of Apollos. They were comparing and in fact they had made sure that word got around whereas Paul, Paul's letters are very, very weighty, but in appearance and words, when he speaks, it's not so much. They were comparing also. So leaders will be compared and especially in times of transition and change, there is the possibility of comparison and we cannot escape that. There is a possibility that the response is not encouraging. They sometimes might hold back from supporting and going forward with the new leader. So here are some things that we need to keep in mind. Maybe we are part of that transition as leaders and we need to keep something. These things will really be helpful if we are going through a transition in leadership. First thing is keep your eyes on the Lord. So because of that change, if there is a negative thing happening, if it's not a very conducive environment, it's not a very conducive thing. Just remember, yes, it is a transition and keep our eye on the constant who is the Lord. So it helps to keep our eye on him, keep our focus on him because he is constant. While all around us there is change, change in the environment, change in the people, change in the response, people whom you thought were very encouraging are suddenly changing track and all that is happening is good to keep our focus on the Lord. He is our reference point. So keep your eyes on the Lord. Psalm 93 verses 3 and 4, the floods have lifted up the Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice, floods lift up their waves. Verse 4, the Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters than the mighty waves of the sea. So verse 3 is just explaining the situation, the floods have lifted up their voice, which means this sound of many waters, the floods lift up their waves and so on. He says that the Lord is high, the Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters. So the thing is to keep our focus on the Lord. So many things will happen to take our focus off him, to shift our focus off him. The wind and the waves, just like Peter, he took his focus off, he looked at the waves, he focused on the waves, he focused on what was intimidating, what was scary, and what was even life threatening, and he began to sing. So the thing is to first and foremost thing, very important thing to keep our focus on the Lord. Second one is to make decisions out of a pure and sincere heart. To make decisions, to make choices, our response should come out of a pure and sincere heart. For the greater good, for the good of the people, for the good of the organizations. Because the reason we say this is because they will be tempted to make decisions to probably get back at people, to get back at what they are saying. So to be tempted to really respond in a way that is not God honoring, to refute people, to respond in a way that God wouldn't be proud of. So when it comes to making decisions, when it comes to making those choices at that very important critical time, make it out of a pure and sincere heart. And in the same lines, God your heart. God our heart. So, you know, Proud very clearly talks about that. God your heart for out of it flows issues of our lives. So God our heart. Don't let fear enter. So what would fear do? Fear brings torment. Fear clouds our judgment. Fear clouds our judgment. We make decisions out of fear and that's not the best cause of action. We make decisions. Either it could be fear of man, fear of disapproval from man. Especially during the time we want people to really affirm us. Like, you know, there to lead and the one who was leading is not there and you are leading and then we want people to affirm our leadership. Like much like these people and say we are with you. Like all like the people who are building the wall. They said, yeah, we are with you. Let's do this. Let's rise up and build. But maybe they're not even rising up saying you build. We want to watch. Right. So don't let fear, fear of man, fear of disapproval. Don't let it cloud. Don't let it grip your heart. So what is the antidote antidote is obviously to be saturated with faith to be saturated with the word of God. So that you can keep fear out. No, it doesn't mean that we will not experience fear. Right. But don't let fear overcome. We should not let fear overcome us and take us on that downward spiral. So we keep our eyes on God. We keep our eyes on what he we continually continually lean in to what he's saying. And let that be louder than the voice of fear. What he is saying about the situation, what he's saying about this whole thing and what he has said already, you know, let that be constantly in our years. So that we don't let fear enter in and our emotions and everything goes out of hand. The other thing to God ourselves is to God our heart against is hurt, bitterness, offense. Because people are saying all kinds of things maybe people are saying insulting, comparing, putting us down and all kinds of things are happening. It's easy to actually let our heart be wounded. We kind of come to a place of saying, you know, I meant the best for people. But, you know, despite all this, despite all that I've done and this is the reward that I get and this is how people are saying this is what people are saying and how can they say that and we get hurt. When we are placing ourselves in a vulnerable way and when our heart is tender, well, there is the possibility, of course, that we will experience hurt. As leaders, we will experience hurt. But the thing is to take it to the Lord, daily keep a short account, you know, take it to the Lord. Keep a short account meaning, you know, don't let that list of hurts. These people have hurt me. These people have said this, don't let that be a long, you know, record. Keep a short account. Take it to the Lord. Take it to the Lord in prayer during that time of, you know, just communion with Him. Let it all be cast away. Let it all be cast at His feet. Let it all be, you know, we were not meant to carry that load. We were not designed to carry that load. And God knows that it's going to affect our emotions. It's going to drain us of energy and vision and power and all that. So let's just give it to Him. We'll just talk to the Lord, cleanse our hearts, cast away all those cares at His feet. The third thing is, you know, we are tempted to, of course, when we let these things affect us, we are always tempted to be judgmental, to condemn, to criticize. And how many times, you know, we've heard, you know, people from the pulpit, condemning, criticizing, you know, somebody in the congregation, they want the message to go out. So they don't do it. Maybe they don't have the bandwidth to do it one-on-one or the grace to do it one-on-one. But, oh, from the pulpit, just right from the word go condemning, criticizing, putting down, judging and all that being critical. So the temptation is there. You see them sitting right in front of you and they are judging you. And now it's not the time to judge them and condemn them or criticize. Here's another important thing. At times, we need to be willing to be perceived as the wrongdoer. This is a difficult medicine to swallow because you're doing everything right. And still, the perception is that, okay, you know, this was not right. You've been seen as someone who was the wrongdoer. You're the one who has done things wrong. Okay, so let's read through that. First Peter 2, right? 21. To this you were called because Christ also suffered for us, leaving as an example that you should follow his steps. Who committed no sin, almost deceived, found in his mouth. Who, when he was reviled, did not revile in return. When he suffered, he did not threaten. But committed himself to him who judges righteously. So there is one who judges righteously and that is God. He's not going to be biased. His judgment is a righteous judgment. So we commit ourselves to him. Now, you know, that does not mean that, you know, if we need to explain things, if there's an opportunity to do that and we've done that. You know what I'm saying? We just explored all that. We just done that. We exhausted all those things, right? You know, best intentions. We've explained, okay, this is why this was done. And despite all that, if the perception doesn't change, right? It's okay. We don't have to keep defending ourselves. We don't have to, you know, keep defending our actions. Because he's, we commit ourselves to him who judges righteously. And on the same lines, you know, we don't get back at people and we allow God to vindicate us. We allow God to bring forth our righteousness. We allow God to, you know, bring forth the intentions of our heart to make it clear, the foreman. It's clear before God, but man doesn't perceive it. Man doesn't receive it. So to make that intention clear, let God do it. Let him vindicate us. So this is a very important thing that especially, and we're looking at transition, we're looking at transition, which is not maybe, you know, even though it could be planned, it could be, it could be something that was, you know, the plan. But more so when it's unplanned, more so when, you know, it's a sudden thing and it happens and you go through it. It's, it can be a very, very difficult thing, right? So we need to God our hearts and we need to really dig in and stand our ground, dig in, meaning anchor ourselves to God, tie ourselves to him, anchor ourselves to the word of God and say, I'm not going to be moved. You know, I'm not going to let all these things corrupt me. My heart is continuing to stay tender. I'm going to God my heart, right? And the season will pass, right? The season will pass. The season of transition will pass. And I like the word says transition. It is a temporary thing, right? So how long is this transition? Well, it can be a few days. It can be a few months, right? It can even be, you know, normally it is just a few months and then there is that adjustment that happens. There is that change. People get, you know, people get adjusted to the change. But having said that, you know, it could also, you know, take a slightly longer timeframe, right? Especially if it is something which is, let's say, the change in transition, it's an unpleasant one. If it's unpleasant, let's say, you know, for example, someone had to step down from leadership for whatever reason X, Y, Z. And then, you know, there is the other person who's taking up that leadership. Somebody stepped down, somebody stepping in. So, you know, it may not be very, very pleasant, you know, for the person who's stepping in, right? And well, one thing to remind ourselves is, hey, this will pass. This is transition, right? It is going to change. And we will go into the next season. So this will pass, okay? So to encourage oneself, to encourage ourselves, saying, okay, this will pass. This transition time will pass. And yeah, so one more thing before we close, to stay focused on the journey ahead, okay? So even during this transition, initially, it's going to consume a lot of time and, you know, our mind space as we, you know, navigate the transition, you know, establishing a relationship with people and maybe even having to communicate and explain why it's happening and so on. But, you know, as we go along, don't make it the main issue. Focus on what is ahead. Focus on the journey that's ahead. This is where we are going. As a team, as a church, as a ministry, this is where we are going. Let's focus on that. Let's start to work towards that. This is the vision. Don't forget that. It's bigger than one person. It's bigger than the leader. And this is what we are here for, right? And it's something that is God-given, something that's God-directed. So this is where we are going. The fifth one, okay, this is the last one before we take a, you know, we stop here. Keep the core people together. You know, like we looked at earlier, there is, you know, when we look at typically a church, there is the crowd, right? And there is the community. Then we have someone who, some people who are committed. Then we have the core. The core is made of people who are committed, who are committed to the cause, who are also not just committed, but committed to attending or committed to the vision, they are also committed to carrying the load. They are committed to saying that I want to carry this load with you. The load of responsibility, the load of the weight of the vision that God has given us. So I want to put my shoulder to, you know, to this cause and carrying this weight. So our responsibility as leaders is to keep that core together. You know, those who seem to be like pillars in the house of God, that core leadership, the core people together. Okay. So which means that we need to actually engage and explain, you know, why, what, how about the transition. Here we are getting into the details and explaining. And while we may not have that opportunity with others, right? With the core, we are actually laying everything open, bare and saying, you know, this is why this is happening. This is why we are changing. And also, so what happens is that they will carry that load. They are going to be carrying that load of transition and that whole responsibility of even going through the transition by communicating, by, you know, encouraging others of the transition by maybe there could be some prejudices, some biases, and some fears, right? Genuine fears. Well, this core is going to help in the transition by bridging all that, right? By taking care of that. They are going to take care of explaining to people and, you know, enabling people to cope with that change, cope with that transition, right? So it's important to keep the core, the leadership, the core people together. Okay. Okay. We'll stop here and I'm sure you might have questions and we'll address it in the next class, right? Okay. So thank you. God bless. Meet again.
