5 pivotal paradigms
TRANSFORM
OUR WORLD
COLORADO
Members of the Colorado movement of Transform Our World are connected by agreement in the “Five Pivotal Paradigms for Transformation”. These paradigms stretch our belief system to accept that we have the ability, power and authority to change the world around us and beyond.
As Ed Silvoso says, “To see what we have never seen, we must do what we have never done, or else we will continue to see what we always see”. Embracing these five paradigms is the first step of a long and glorious journey.
The Great Commission is about discipling nations, not just people. I am a discipler of nations, and a model for people.
Paradigm #1
Disciple Nations
The Great Commission is about discipling nations, not just people. I am a discipler of nations, and a model for people.
The marketplace (the heart of the nation) has already been redeemed by Jesus and now needs to be reclaimed by His followers. I walk and work in confidence that what I do will make an eternal difference.
Paradigm #2
Marketplace is the Heart
Labor is the premier expression of worship on Earth, and every believer is a minister. I am equipped by God with unique gifts and talents designed to shine light where there has been darkness.
Paradigm #3
Labor is Worship
Paradigm #4
Carry God's Kingdom
Our primary call is not to build the Church but to take the Kingdom of God where the kingdom of darkness is still entrenched, in order for Jesus to build His Church.
I am called to do things in a way that will bring the will of God in heaven to
my earth every day.

The premier social indicator that transformation has taken place is the elimination of systemic poverty including financial poverty, relational poverty, spiritual poverty and motivational poverty.
I seek to dislodge systems within my sphere of influence that keep me and others poor spiritually, relationally, materially and motivationally.
