VUCA, short for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, is a managerial term that has become trendy post-COVID. It has been a VUCA world since COVID-19, and there seems to be no end to it.
How do we as Biblical Entrepreneurs approach VUCA from a Kingdom perspective?
In a recent Global Forum hosted by the Nehemiah Entrepreneurship Community in partnership with the Christian Employer Alliance on Religious Freedom, Nathan Estruth, former vice president of Procter & Gamble and Founder of the 1792 Exchange, gave us a framework on how to navigate this VUCA world in his talk titled, “Navigating in a VUCA Environment”.

The origin of VUCA?
The term was introduced by the Army War College to describe the more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous multilateral world after the end of the Cold War.
How to navigate a VUCA World from a Kingdom perspective, according to Nathan?
- Meet Volatility with Vision
- that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. – Hebrews 6:18-20 (NKJV)
- Meet Uncertainty with Understanding
- casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, – 2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV)
- Meet Complexity with Clarity
- This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. – Psalm 118:24 (NKJV)
- Meet Ambiguity with Agility
- “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” – Mathew 10:16 (NKJV)
Nathan’s transformational talk was followed by a panel discussion between marketplace and ministry leaders including:
- Al Caperna – Founder of CMC Group
- Shannon Royce – CEO of the Christian Employer Alliance
- Pastor Carlos Duran, President of the National Hispanic Pastors Alliance.
