Gaining influence can feel intimidating. Maybe you wonder if you even have any—or if you do, how to use it without messing it up. Between classes, sports, social media, and just trying to figure out who you are, it’s easy to push questions like that aside. But here’s the truth: you already have influence, and Jesus actually has a lot to say about how to use it.
Join us for 21 days of teaching and personal coaching where you’ll learn how to recognize the influence you carry and how to use it the way Jesus intended—to lift others up, point people to Him, and live with confidence in who He’s called you to be.

About Emily: I’m a girl’s girl through and through—raised in a family of sisters—but I also can’t resist a football game or some healthy, intense competition (preferably with soul food on the coffee table to snack on). I thrive on connecting with people, hearing their stories, and speaking life into them through words of affirmation. Nothing excites me more than encouraging others to step into their God-given potential. When I’m not cheering others on, you’ll probably find me training for a race or unwinding with a good chick flick (if there is not a game on). And if you’ve got a heart for people and love relaxed, quality time getting to know others, we’ll be fast friends!
