Social Media Influencers.   57% of Generation Z (ages 13-26) dream about being influencers.

 

What is a Social Media Influencer exactly?

Social media influencers establish themselves with credibility in a particular field and share their knowledge with a specific audience. They authentically share content through relationship with their followers. - Coursera

 

 

Jesus invites 100% of his followers to be Christian Influencers.

 

30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.31 The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.    Mark 12:30 

 

Jesus modeled this for us.  He walked with Credibility.  He shared Authentically with the Relationships around Him.

 

 

Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

 

Maybe this is Not as Difficult as we think it is.   Thom Rainer and The Unchurched Neighbor

 

      Five “faith stages”—levels of responsiveness.

  • U1 Highly receptive to hearing and believing the Good News
  • U2 Receptive to the gospel and church
  • U3 Neutral, with no clear signs of being interested yet perhaps being open to discussion
  • U4 Resistant to the gospel, but with no antagonistic attitude
  • U5 Highly antagonistic and even hostile to the gospel

 

         Action Steps:

  1. Pray and ask God to give you courage and opportunity.
  2. Engage authentically with your neighbors.
  3. Invite them to come with you to Church.

 

 

Jesus invites 100% of his followers to be Christian Influencers.  To be Christ followers who have credibility, share their knowledge authentically with the relationships around them
