“"You don't get to decide if you're going to influence people. All you get to decide is how you're going to influence them."”
Ever wondered what it takes to truly influence those around you? In this episode of The REBOOT Recovery Show, host Evan Owens flips the script on the traditional idea of influence. Forget about social media followers and flashy titles; true influence is about how you show up in the everyday moments. Drawing inspiration from Esther's story, Evan explores how ordinary lives can become extraordinary mission fields when we choose usefulness over success.
He challenges listeners to rethink their understanding of influence and to recognise the power they hold in their current positions, no matter how 'ordinary' they may seem. Through personal anecdotes and biblical references, Evan emphasises that our influence is already present and doesn't require a stage or a crowd. It's about being a light in someone else's life, even if it's just one person at a time.
With humour and heartfelt insights, this episode encourages you to embrace your role as a steward of influence, urging you to pray not for comfort but for boldness. Are you ready to see how your everyday actions can have a lasting impact?
