Living in the Imagine It, Build It, Era.

Not long ago, global impact at scale belonged almost exclusively to institutions—major studios, multinational networks, legacy systems that moved slowly and spoke cautiously. Big ideas existed, but execution required layers of approval, enormous budgets, and timeframes that often drained urgency from the work.

That world has quietly shifted.

We are now firmly inside the Imagine It. Build It. era—a moment when creative vision, technological infrastructure, and disciplined leadership intersect to move ideas from concept to global reality with unprecedented speed and reach.

Few bodies of work illustrate this shift more clearly than the projects led by Larry Lundstrom and the teams he has assembled across faith, media, and global engagement.

Consider the Middle East and North Africa. Through work with Lighthouse Arab World, a vision once considered improbable became operational: delivering The Chosen in Arabic to more than 70 million households. This wasn’t simply translation—it was cultural contextualization, distribution strategy, partnership alignment, and trust built across borders where faith-based media often operates under intense scrutiny. The result wasn’t just viewership, but access—storytelling crossing linguistic and cultural barriers at scale.

This is not the first example of momentum built, rather a pattern of turning ideas into impact. The same story repeated a few years earlier on a different continent and in a different register, Lundstrom’s and team helpedfill stadiums across the United States and Canada for men’s conferences—events measured not in ticket sales alone, but in momentum. These weren’t one-off gatherings. They were coordinated movements, designed to scale, replicate, and sustain engagement across regions. Production, live experience design, communications strategy, and follow-through were treated as a single system rather than isolated components.

Then there’s Asia.

What began as a strategic framework on paper turned into a sweeping, multi-nation initiative: a 600-church summit spanning cities, cultures, and coastlines—launching in Bangkok, moving through Southeast Asia, and extending across the Philippine islands and every stop between. The challenge wasn’t logistics alone. It was alignment—creating a shared vision that could hold across vastly different contexts while remaining locally meaningful at every point.

This is the defining characteristic of the Imagine It. Build It. era: work that moves fluidly across formats, geographies, and audiences without losing coherence.

What ties these projects together isn’t platform or genre. It’s approach.

Execution is no longer treated as a downstream task. Strategy, story, production, and distribution are developed together, from the outset. The same rigor applied to a global television rollout is applied to a live event. The same attention to narrative clarity used in cinematic storytelling is applied to leadership summits and faith-driven gatherings.

Technology makes this possible—but discipline makes it effective.

The teams leading in this era understand that access to tools is not the differentiator. Intentional design is. They build systems that can scale without flattening meaning. They plan globally while acting locally. And they treat storytelling not as content, but as formation.

There is also a noticeable shift in where influence now originates. Los Angeles remains important, but it no longer stands alone. Cairo matters. Southeast Asia matters. Regional leaders matter. Stories move outward from many centers now, often bypassing traditional gatekeepers entirely.

This decentralization isn’t chaos—it’s capability.

When ideas can move this quickly and reach this far, stewardship becomes inseparable from creativity. What gets built shapes culture. What gets distributed shapes belief. The work carries weight.

That’s the throughline across Arabic-language television reaching tens of millions, stadiums filled across North America, and hundreds of churches gathered across Asia. Different expressions, same underlying conviction: imagination is powerful, but execution determines impact.

The Imagine It. Build It. era isn’t about spectacle. It’s about alignment—vision matched with structure, creativity paired with responsibility, scale achieved without surrendering depth.

The future of global storytelling and faith-driven engagement isn’t waiting on permission anymore.

It’s already underway—assembled across continents, languages, and communities—by teams willing to imagine boldly, build carefully, and own the consequences of what they release into the world.

And by every indication, this chapter is still being written.
