I came here to find God fearing companions. Maybe make some good connections and grow. Mainstream sm have become too desanitized and toxic...

what an amazing gift that god has given us

Social Media Plagiarism

What do y'all think about these content creators who are sitting at a desk with a microphone (and sometimes headphone) at the bottom of the video (with someone else's original video above them, who do nothing but point upward and say, "You gotta watch this!"? You can find them by Googling their name. But do they ever produce any original content? I can't figure out how our culture evolved to create systems which reward plagiarism. Now, do you wanna know why it bothers me? Because I'm a true content creator who's trying to make a difference with what God has given me - music, insights, etc. I guess since I've ranted again (several times lately) I guess I deserve whatever negative feedback I might get. Nevertheless, I'd really like to know if this bothers anyone else….

TV Preachers & Beggers

I've had a train of thought congeal within the past few minutes. The type of well-know TV preachers who always end their meetings/broadcasts with "I know there's 10 of you that can give $100...or 100 of you who can give $1000..." We've all heard it until we're sick of it; well, if you're like me you're sick of it. Here's the thought that congealed just a few minutes ago: (1) they learned it from their predecessors; (2) they were taught how to do it by their mentors; (3) they've been doing it so long that they're absolutely unable to understand why it's a problem; (4) it's one of the biggest hurdles for non-believers, especially those who've been hurt by church folks; (5) it needs to stop! Nationally-known church leaders who walk in integrity and who do NOT engage in begging for money need to start addressing it in every way possible, and even demand that these charlatans cease & desist. Now, that's my take on it. What do you think?

How can I become a better Christian influencer?
For all those seeking to influence others for good, here are 5 things to remember:

#1 Emotional impact is the currency of influence, and it begins with self-awareness. Ask the question: have I been emotionally impacted by the insights with which I hope to influence others?

#2 Influence is valuable. It can be wasted, so it must be stewarded.

#3 Emotional impact happens because of impartation; relationship is the conduit for impartation.

#4 Influence grows when trust has been earned because character has been established.

#5 Real influence leaves a lasting legacy, very often a multi-generational legacy.

To live the most satisfying life possible, discover your gifts and then use them to make a difference. You'll be glad you did.

I hope these insights inspire & motivate you to open yourself up to all that God is and all that He has for you! God bless!
