Evangelism Reframed: When the Design Fractures

The story of creation isn’t complete without the story of the fracture. Genesis 3 describes the moment rebellion entered the world, bringing disorder, shame, and separation. Work that was once joyful turned into toil. Relationships that were once whole became strained. Creation that was once harmonious was marred by futility. Perfect shalom, shattered.

Even amid this fracture, the image of God remains. Broken, yes. Distorted, yes. But not wiped out. To grasp the gospel and share it clearly, we must acknowledge both: our dignity as image bearers and the pain caused by sin’s distortion.

Leaders in a Fractured World

For executives and senior leaders, the effects of the Fall are not just theoretical; they are real experiences. You observe fractured relationships between teams, cultures of mistrust, and organizations troubled by greed, pride, or fear. These are more than business issues—they are spiritual fractures rooted in Genesis 3 yet God’s design is Genesis 1 and 2.

Feeling Successful but Unfulfilled?

Many executives and organizational leaders feel this disconnect. You weren't designed to perform. You were created with unique giftedness that transforms both satisfaction and impact.

Discover your God-given design through our proven giftedness coaching.

When leaders separate faith from work, they often address these issues with superficial solutions. God never designed this compartmentalization; we are called to be integrated leaders in the sight of a Holy God. But when you look at them through the lens of Scripture, you find opportunities for redemption. Sin explains why things fall apart. The gospel explains how Christ keeps all things together (Colossians 1:17).

The Hope Within the Brokenness

Even in the garden, God made a promise. The seed of the woman would crush the serpent’s head (Genesis 3:15). This is the first announcement of hope, the whisper of redemption amid judgment. For those who lead, this means that fractured systems and broken people are not abandoned. God is already working to redeem. He is asking us to join His redemptive plan.

In every failed project, strained relationship, or ethical compromise, leaders have the chance to exemplify a different approach. By living as those who know the Redeemer, transformed by the Redeemer, and building God-honoring corporate cultures, you point others toward the hope that healing is possible.

Walking With Others Toward Hope

Evangelism in a fractured world is not just about pointing out sin. It is about walking with people through their pain, confusion, and disillusionment. Leaders who acknowledge brokenness without rushing to superficial fixes build trust. Colleagues respect the honesty of a leader who admits, “This is not how it should be, but there is hope.” Hope in Jesus’ redemption and return.

The gospel is not good news solely because it forgives sin. It is good news because it mends what was broken. Redemption is not only personal but also universal. Christ came to reconcile all things to Himself (Colossians 1:20).

Truth, Implication, Application

What is the truth, implication, and application of this hope? Let us break it down:

  • Truth: Sin broke God’s original design, but the image of God still exists.
  • Implication: Every organization, team, and relationship reflects both dignity and distortion.
  • Application: As leaders, we are called to confront brokenness honestly, point to Christ’s redemption, and embody hope through our words and actions.

When the design breaks, despair is not the only choice. In Christ, we see the start of restoration. And as leaders, we have the honor of showing what it means to live with confidence in God’s redeeming and purpose-driven work that glorifies our Savior who delivers eternal returns.

This article is part of the series: Evangelism Reframed.

Too often, we begin the gospel story in Genesis 3. But what if we started in Genesis 1, where God began, with identity, purpose, and calling? This series invites leaders and culture-shapers to explore evangelism through the lens of creation, image-bearing, and the redemptive story as a whole. Each post is crafted to stir reflection and equip you to lead others toward Christ with theological depth and strategic wisdom.

Series Overview:

Let this series ground you in the whole story of Scripture – creation, fall, redemption, and restoration – so you can share a gospel that meets people where they are and leads them to where God is calling them.
