How does First Harvest Ministries' 'hub and spokes' metaphor explain the unity challenges in post-victory movements?

First Harvest Ministries uses the “hub and spokes” metaphor to show why unity often unravels after a movement wins its main battle.

During the fight, everyone unites around a single hub (a clear cause, crisis, or leader). The shared enemy or goal keeps diverse spokes (groups, personalities, callings) connected and pointed the same direction.

After victory, that central pressure is removed. If the hub was mainly “what we are against” instead of “who we are under” (Christ’s lordship, godly order, shared vision), the spokes begin to drift. Each group pulls toward its own preferences, platforms, and priorities, and the wheel of the movement starts to wobble.

The warning: if a movement does not intentionally re-center on a strong, righteous hub after victory, disunity is almost inevitable.
