Influence looks shiny on Instagram—but what you don’t see are the hidden costs. In this episode of Online Business for Christian Creators, Jim exposes 7 dark realities of chasing influence—from applause addiction to curated vulnerability, clout-chasing, burnout, and brand silencing.
But this isn’t just a takedown of influencers. You’ll also hear the flipside: how to build influence that actually lasts, rooted in relational leadership, Kingdom purpose, and integrity.
If you’ve ever wondered “Am I chasing influence the wrong way?”—this episode will give you the clarity and courage to lead differently.
- Why applause and vanity metrics can rob you of purpose.
- How curated vulnerability is often a trap—and what true vulnerability looks like.
- Why clout-chasing erodes your identity (and how to root yourself in Christ).
- The connection between success and isolation—and how to fight it.
- How monetizing morality can corrupt your cause.
- The reality of performance burnout (and why rest is a Kingdom principle).
- How sponsorships can silence your convictions—and what freedom looks like.
- 4 practical flipside practices for building influence God’s way.

Influence isn’t evil—it’s powerful. But if you chase it without integrity, it will eat you alive. The good news? You can build influence that heals, restores, and points people to something greater than yourself.
That’s relational leadership. That’s Kingdom purpose.
