What is an influencer? An influencer is one who impacts the decisions of others. As influencers for Christ, we have an awesome responsibility and privilege to impact the decisions others make in response to God's calling on and purpose for their lives. We all have been entrusted with a circle of influence. Some circles are small, others are large, but every circle is of utmost importance.
In Part One, we take a look at a strong plea through prayer from a man who's life has been defined by pain, but one who's also been tagged as "more honorable than his brothers" in Scripture. Jabez, a name given pause to, tucked inside the genealogy of the Jewish nation, is a man of great faith. 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 is where we hear this plea--a plea for more territory, an expansion of borders [for God's glory]. His prayer for God to expand his circle of influence impacted my own faith over 20 years ago. Living Real Magazine is part of God continuing to honor my sincere prayer all those years ago. We all need to examine our circles of influence periodically to make sure we are following God's leading as He seeks to extend our borders for His glory.
Part Two is my interview with Dave Wilson, President of Palmetto Family. Dave is an influencer for Christ with a huge circle of influence in the state of South Carolina. He has an incredible job which seeks to influence legislation to "guard" families from the influences of evil on our society. Dave's background is amazing, and his story will bless and motivate you to stand strong for our first circle of influence for God's glory, our families.
