In Week 2 of our Influencer series, we talk about something every student has—even if they don’t realize it: influence. The question isn’t if you influence people… it’s what kind of influence you have.

We dive into how the things that influence us—people, habits, and situations—shape the way we live and lead. Looking at passages like 1 Timothy 4:12 and Titus 2:7–8, we see that age isn’t a barrier to influence. God calls students right now to lead by example through their speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. 

We also explore how real influence doesn’t come from popularity or attention—it comes from character and integrity. When your life matches your words and the fruit of the Spirit is evident in your life, people begin to see Jesus through you.

This challenges us to take an honest look at their lives and ask one powerful question:

“Where is my life not matching my words?”

If you want to influence others for Christ, it starts with who you are when no one is watching.
