Publisher’s Description:
In today’s social media-saturated world, the word influence conjures up images of beautifully curated Instagram feeds or women who lead from the stage and have thousands of followers. It’s measured by the number of likes and shares and how well we can get people to imitate us. Influence has almost become synonymous with fame and power, and if we’re honest, many of us long to have it.
But in its purest form, influence is simply the capacity to affect change on someone. It is the ability to impact others for a certain purpose. And from a biblical perspective, influence is the right and responsibility of everyone who follows Christ.
Courageous Influence will guide you in the journey of living the impact you were made to have through this six-session study. Let’s turn the world’s idea of influence on its head and become the courageous women of influence God calls us to be.
My Review:
Each one of our lives has an impact on someone else, and it’s in that capacity that each one of us is a leader. I loved this quote from pages 7 & 8 of this study:
“Influence isn’t only for pastors or leaders in the church. It’s not about having a position of power or years of experience. It has nothing to do with age or gender or how much clout we already have. All of us have been given influence in Christ, and we are to use it to encourage and lead others toward Him…..Wherever we are, however God has made us, in Christ we are women of influence.”
This study is encouraging and covers several different aspects of leadership: Being willing; being a person of integrity; being generous with your influence; and telling your story. I highlighted quite a few passages in this book and loved learning about leadership from a Biblical standpoint. This is an excellent small group study, but I also enjoyed going through it on my own. This study would be of benefit to ladies in all seasons of life.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
