Model notes (per unit)
03-what-drives-your-church.md — Chapter is structured as a typology of 7 inadequate drivers + 1 proposed (purpose), each meriting its own atomic, plus framing/conclusion atomics. The Arn survey atomic is split out as a sociology observation worth its own slot. Bible references rendered as plain prose since Bible class is not ingested. Several atomics surface UC application questions (Cheon Jeong Gung capital footprint, second-gen program audits, member/leader purpose mismatch) for future threading.
