Influencers Global Ministries

Bryan interviews Scott Lawson, Influencers Virtual Journey Director, about his recent health struggle and how this has tested his abiding relationship with Christ. As we say in The Journey, “Experience Trumps Theory.” This is an encouragement to anyone who wants to abide with Christ, but is struggling with something out of their control.

Bryan interviews four Regional Directors in Influencers… Henry Gutierrez (Latin America), Andy Collar (Maine), Mike Malak (Great Lakes) and Mike Hearne (Kansas). They each talk about their experience at an Influencers Global Summit. Three of them had never been through a Journey Group, nor knew much about the ministry, but they got invited by a trusted friend to come. These are compelling stories that God brings the men to the Summit who need to be there. It might be you who need to be there.

Bryan interviews Jim Pennington, Regional Director Influencers Central Coast and Fred Stoeker, fellow Influencer from Iowa and author of “Every Man’s Battle.” They talk about God giving Jim a vision about a men’s event at the Santa Maria Speedway that would involve Fred Stoeker as the main speaker. Jim was obedient to the vision and it was fulfilled last weekend as 1500 men gathered on a beautiful California evening to praise God, hear about Influencers and be challenged to sexual purity by Fred. Many men responded and God was glorified. Hear the story.

Part One - Bryan interviews three of the founders of Influencers, Rocky Fleming, Bob Brown and Tony Elliott, members of the very first Journey group in 2001. They talk about the first Journey group invitation, though it wasn’t even called The Journey yet, nor was Journey to the Inner Chamber written. But Rocky simply said, “There’s more of God I want to know, and there’s more of me God wants.” And they embarked upon a journey to understand John 15 and Abiding. Here we are, 25 years later, reflecting on thousands of people in many cultures and languages, who have gone on this Journey to intimacy with Christ.

Bryan interviews Scott Lawson, our Virtual Regional Director, as they talk about the increased activity in Virtual Journey Groups and the demand for more Virtual Journey Guides. They also touch on the history of this movement and the nuances of guiding a group virtually vs. a live group. Some of our most impactful leaders would not be part of this ministry were it not for Virtual groups.
