Culture of Honor

Danny Silk’s book “Culture of Honor: Sustaining a Supernatural Environment” is a potent and revolutionary work. Silk outlines the values and customs required to establish a “culture of honor” in the neighborhood church. This culture, which is followed at Bethel Church where Silk is a senior leader is centered on accepting and identifying people for who they are—identities and roles that God has given them.

The fundamental idea is to accept individuals for who they are and celebrate them for who they are, without getting caught up in who they aren’t. Although the book rightly places a strong emphasis on honor, some readers disagree with its proposal to acknowledge contemporary prophets and apostles as the founding fathers of the local church.
