SLP340 - What’s The Big Deal About Influence Anyway?

Have you ever considered YOU have the ability and potential to change the world or to make a substantive difference in people’s lives?

What does it mean to be a difference-maker?

What does it mean to affect your environment and culture?

Today we’re going to answer this question: What’s The Big Deal About Influence Anyway?

Feature Presentation: 

Let’s Start with a Primer on the 7 Spheres of Cultural Influence

They are:

1. Religion
2. Family
3. Government
4. Education
5. Arts/Entertainment
6. Media/Communication
7. Business/Financial Sector

Family:     Consider the groups that have shaped this area in the last 10 years. The term family has been completely re-defined, laws changed, gender neutralized, etc.

How did this happen?      INFLUENCE

Government:   Think about the current news, and how our nations are being transformed before our eyes. Principles and values that were the foundations for our culture have been eroded the point of no return.

How?        INFLUENCE

Education:        Many of our academic institutions are no longer laboratories for the development of potential. Rather, they have become the programming centers for contingencies of people hell-bent on erasing history and changing our cultural DNA.

Again … INFLUENCE

Arts/Entertainment:         Hollywood, Broadway, the music industry, sports industry, and even the online entertainment space have become cesspools of filth, activism, and agenda based programming. You cannot turn on a device without being told what to believe, how to think, what to wear, etc.

Again … INFLUENCE

Media/Communication:  Consider the news media, social media, and the thousands of pundits beaming their noise into every nook and cranny of our day.

Again … INFLUENCE

Business/Finance:   The entire world revolves around business, commerce, money, and market share. We need Godly, principle-centered business owners, board members, and entrepreneurs guiding and leading our nation.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see WHY our world is in such a mess.

It is simply a matter of influence.

SO, WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT INFLUENCE?

The big deal is that America, and other nations around the world, are in desperate need of great leaders, strong influencers, men and women of character and strength to STAND UP, take our place, and make a difference.

The very problems you complain about and grieve over are the problems YOU are called to and capable of solving.

You just have to get in the game!
