From the Desk of John Anderson
Do you look at the needs in your community and wonder how believers can help bring lasting change?
You may see neighbors who need care, institutions that have lost the public’s trust, or leaders trying to solve problems without a shared vision. You want to do more than talk about what is wrong. But where do you begin, and how can one person help change something as large as a community?
Jesus gave us a place to start: the Golden Rule.
“Whatever you want others to do for you, do also for them.” Imagine what could happen if that teaching shaped more than our personal relationships. What would it look like in a school, a hospital, a business, a neighborhood, or a government office?
Building Golden Rule Communities explores a vital part of the Great Commission: teaching people to obey what Jesus taught. Across eight lessons, you’ll learn to recognize where your community already reflects the Golden Rule, identify where change is needed, and envision what those institutions could become.
You’ll explore how to bring pastors, civic leaders, and skilled practitioners together around practical plans for their areas of influence. You’ll also discover the role of coordinated prayer and spiritual warfare in supporting sustained transformation.
A Vision You Can Begin to Put Into Practice
This course invites you to move from concern to purposeful action. It will help you:
- See the Golden Rule as a blueprint for community life
- Assess eight areas of your community and identify opportunities for change
- Find people who can help turn a shared vision into practical plans

If you long to see your community treat people as Jesus taught, I invite you to take the next step with Building Golden Rule Communities.

Overview of the 8 Lessons
Lesson 1 — Recovering Heaven's Strategy for Discipling Nations
Explore the two commissions — and understand the necessity of implementing both Mark 16 and Matthew 28. Explore the Matthew 25 judgment of nations, and discover why Sheep Nations exhibit Golden Rule behavior across all 8 domains of society: government, family, faith, media, arts-entertainment-recreation, education, healthcare and business.
Lesson 2 — The Golden Rule as a Blueprint
Review case studies from history that clearly prove that revivals change people but leave corrupt nations unchanged. Discover the strategy employed by William Wilberforce and his Clapham Groups that changed many aspects of public life in Great Britain: slavery, child labor, judicial corruption and poverty – and how they might have produced a Sheep Nation if their progress was not stymied by the rapture doctrine that encouraged believers to withdraw from government and secular pursuits.
Lesson 3: Sheep and Goat Nations: Diagnosing your community and your nation
Several public indexes and surveys already measure nations, states and communities on behaviors that directly relate to Golden Rule behavior. Review numerous case studies highlighting Goat to Sheep transformations in process around the world. Explore these and see how to create a simple 5-point scale to evaluate your community’s 8 domains as 1 = Goat Nation 2 – below average 3 – average 4 – better 5 – Sheep Nation. Diagnose your community’s institutions.
Lesson 4 — From Babel to Pentecost — God's Plan for Redeeming Nations
Are nations an artifact of human narcissism and corruption, or a divine design? Explore the history of nations and God’s promise to give them to Jesus as His inheritance. Take a look at Pentecost through the eyes of Father’s covenant to restore nations.
Lesson 5 — The Architecture of a Golden Rule Community: The Full Roadmap
What does “finished” look like for each of your community’s domains? How would you describe a Golden Rule government? Schools, etc.? How would you measure progress? Which believers in your circle of influence already have standing or influence in each Domain? How should you approach them and persuade them to join a Transformation effort for their Domain? How can you construct a Pastor-Politician-Practitioner triad for each Domain?
Lesson 6 — Force Multipliers: Proven Pathways to Accelerated Transformation
What if there were proven ways to accelerate transformation – or multiply its effect, in each domain? Case studies are presented as examples – food for thought – or perhaps for you to adopt as needed.
Lesson 7 — Strategic Prayer: Why 1 Church 1 Day is the Strategic Transformation Engine
When making bread, you need good ingredients, a faithfully-followed recipe, and time to let the bread rise. But unless you also have a warm oven, your best efforts remain a sticky inedible mess. Likewise, a warm oven with no dough produces no bread.
Your best human efforts: diagnosis, transformation strategic planning and persuasion – will be incomplete and ineffective without dealing with matters that only heaven can control – and will NOT control without coordinated strategic prayer and Spiritual Warfare. Learn how 1 Church 1 Day, a strategy proven by over 1000 churches in 40 nations, is Your Strategic Transformation Engine. The Transformation team is your dough – Strategic Prayer is your oven.
Lesson 8 — Spiritual Warfare and Sustained National Transformation
Daniel depicts the delay caused by evil rulers in heaven that persists until the right level and amount of heavenly hosts intervene. Paul reminds us of who we are fighting and the role of prayer. This session provides a case study of Operation Just Cause, an 18 month effort by 20 intercessors that brought down 36000 corrupt rulers in 143 nations. Learn how you can operate at this level in your assignment.
