You can’t pour new wine into old wineskins.
Not if you want it to last.
That’s not just a Scripture — it’s a leadership reality.
What God is doing in this generation cannot be sustained by outdated models, broken financial systems, or ego-driven platforms. What He’s doing requires a new wineskin — a fresh structure that can hold both the power and the weight of His presence.
🍷 Luke 5:37–38 says:
“And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined.
No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.”
I didn’t fully understand this verse until I tried to lead people using outdated systems.
- Systems that were built on debt.
- Programs that were image-driven.
- Ministries that prioritized growth in square footage over growth in spiritual depth.
It wasn’t sustainable.
It wasn’t biblical.
And God, in His mercy, allowed it to fail — so He could rebuild something stronger.
🛠️ What Is a New Wineskin?
A new wineskin isn’t about throwing away everything old.
It’s about reforming what remains so it can carry what’s coming.
In our case, the new wineskin became a culture, not just a plan:
- A culture of stewardship over status
- A culture of team leadership over top-down hierarchy
- A culture of debt-free decisions over pressure to perform
- A culture of community transformation over internal comfort
We didn’t just change the structure —
we changed the spirit behind the structure.
🧠 The Components of a Healthy Ministry Culture
- People over Property
We no longer make decisions based on what looks good but based on what serves people well. - Mission over Mortgage
We don’t allow financial institutions to dictate the direction of God’s vision. - Legacy over Hype
We don’t chase viral moments — we plant generational roots. - Transparency over Tradition
Our team knows the finances. Our members know our heart. There are no back rooms. - Love over Legalism
We don’t guilt people into giving. We teach them how to grow, so they want to give. - Community over Celebrity
We’d rather be known in the city for our service than be known online for our soundbites.
🧱 What We’re Building Now
Out of this new wineskin, our programs and priorities emerged:
- Seniors 4 Life – honoring our elders with dignity, presence, and provision
- Circle of Care Program – wrapping consistent, holistic care around single mothers, youth, and families
- In-school mentoring – showing up on elementary, middle, and high school campuses with love and leadership
- Debt-free stewardship model – using interest, not principal, to fund benevolence, payroll, and ministry needs
- Board alignment – where wisdom, strategy, and the Spirit guide decisions, not pressure or ambition
These aren’t programs for marketing.
They’re manifestations of our new DNA.
🌍 The Culture We’re Releasing
We’re not just rebuilding a church — we’re redefining what church culture can look like when it’s free from financial bondage, emotional manipulation, and outdated metrics of success.
We don’t want to be big — we want to be fruitful.
We don’t want to be flashy — we want to be faithful.
We don’t want to impress people — we want to impact people.
🙏 Final Reflection: Your Wineskin Matters
If you’re a leader reading this, let me tell you plainly:
You can’t lead a 21st-century move of God with 20th-century models of ministry.
The wineskin has to shift.
The oil is still flowing — but the container has to change.
The anointing is available — but it must rest on structure that won’t leak.
God gave us the grace to do this debt-free.
But the deeper grace was this:
He gave us the courage to break the old pattern… and rebuild the culture.
We didn’t just survive the wilderness.
We’re walking into the Promised Land.
And we’re doing it without a mortgage.
