Big ideas and good intentions often come to naught.<\/p><p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no big idea that&#8217;s going to advance the kingdom, that&#8217;s going to feed the kids in Africa. But it&#8217;s not the big idea that&#8217;s going to do it. It&#8217;s going to take us,&#8221; David said.<\/p><p>That holds true, whether in politics or in the church. So what can really make a difference?<\/p><p>&#8220;Transformed lives transform lives.&#8221;<\/p><p>In his bestselling book, Tempting Faith, David suggested that maybe Christians needed to take a break from politics. Now he thinks he might have been wrong to suggest that.<\/p><p>&#8220;We need Christians in politics, but we need Christians willing to transform the way we do politics, not just the policies.&#8221;<\/p><p>Ultimately, though, David stressed that truly changing the world is up to us. <\/p><p>&#8220;We live in a world that is starving for God. No big idea is going to feed them. We are it.&#8221;<\/p><p>David makes a serious point: there&#8217;s no one great idea out there that&#8217;s going to push the kingdom forward. Yet I think a caveat is in order. As Richard Weaver wrote, &#8220;ideas have consequences.&#8221; We may change the world one person at a time, but there are good ideas\u2014and bad ones\u2014about how to go about doing that.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/pastors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2025\/10\/35477.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11259\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure><p><strong>Catalyst Leadership<em> is a new digital magazine combining the wisdom of <\/em>Leadership Journal <em>with the innovation of the Catalyst Conference.
