Last week, several Influencers gathered at the Global Office for a Thanksgiving feast with Rocky, while many others joined us on Zoom.  We got to hear from our founder about the things he is seeing in the world and in the ministry and the things for which he is thankful.  He also talks about how God showed him new meaning to Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” in 2 Corinthians 12:7  Listen and give thanks with us.

Influencers is holding a Day of Giving on Tuesday, November 25th, and Bryan Craig and Les Pearsey explain the initiative and our fundraising theology and philosophy, as well as outlining some specific projects needing funds.  Please listen and pray about how you can participate.  God is inviting us to greater influence for His Kingdom.

Bryan interviews our Costa Rican Regional Director Henry Gutierrez, who talks about the upcoming Latin American Summit, November 21-23, in San Jose, Costa Rica.  Influencers men and women from multiple Latin countries will gather together for the first time for a weekend of refreshing, encouragement, soul enrichment, DNA infusion and for a global view of this movement called Influencers.  Some of our U.S. leaders will be involved in hosting the event, but we need your prayer support.

Bryan interviews Julie Carlson, the Influencers Global Operations Coordinator and the Chair of the newly formed Influencers Women Global Council.  They talk about the evolution of women going through The Journey and the intentional steps to fan the flame of the women’s movement.  This is very encouraging to all you ladies out there.  You are not alone.

For this broadcast, we share with you a talk Bryan got to give to a group of Bakersfield leaders on Grace.  He talks about how we need Grace for salvation, we need Grace every day and how Grace is part of the Abiding relationship.  Would people say you are a man or woman of grace?

Rocky and Bryan talk about Leadership and how the culture of an organization raises up leaders which reflect that culture.  In the case of Influencers Global Ministries, our leaders reflect hearts that have been transformed by abiding in Christ, and we want to protect that culture as this ministry grows.  God may be raising you up to be a servant leader in this movement.

Bryan interviews three Champions for the ministry while at the Staff Retreat.  Tony Schaar, from Central Coast, California, Louis Hartzog from Montgomery, AL and Phil Van Horn, from Los Angeles, CA join a discussion about how they got involved and what God is currently doing in their regions.  It’s exciting to watch God move.

Bryan interviews Influencers Bakersfield Regional Director, Josh Sherley and J.J. Gomez, a young man who is a Hearing-Impaired Translator, as they talk about the annual Bakersfield M24 event.  1500 men of all ages and backgrounds and churches gathered for 24 hours in Tehachapi, CA for worship, great food, and strong messages about Jesus’ salvation and Jesus’ work in sanctifying us in our personal lives and marriages.  J.J. tells the story of translating these powerful messages to people from the deaf community, including some of his family members.  God continues to expand our vision for who He wants to reach through Influencers.

Bryan interviews a 21 year old Influencer, Blayne Sewell, to get a younger person’s perspective on his generation, on the Charlie Kirk phenomenon, on Discipleship and College Journey Groups.  The younger generation are looking for answers and they are looking for Christ.

Bryan and Rocky talk about the release of Rocky’s new book, The Path, and why he wrote it and who it’s for.  It’s another spiritual adventure, with compelling characters and interesting situations, and one which takes us deeper into our own hearts.  He also hopes to spark a movement of hope to help the next generation.
