According to the Nashville Film Institute’s website ( www.nfi.edu ) top influencers can earn anywhere from $40,000 a year with a modest following to celebrity influences that can earn over a million dollars per post . They yield a persuasive power over their followers to redirect focus and entice the follower to buy or believe in whatever they are promoting. Most of us have some realm of influence. It may be family, friends, co-workers, social media, church, sports, online, etc. As we emerge from the COVID Cocoon, we need to be “spiritual influencers”. Imagine how many of us have suffered loss during COVID. Do you know how many people are battling depression? How many are struggling to pay their sky-rocketing rent? There is real pain, real suffering and a serious lack of HOPE all around. People are desperate for hope, help and genuine love. They are ready to buy into anything that an influencer will peddle. Envision a host of people intentional about spiritual influencing?
