Influence
Becoming A Difference Maker
4 Parts | By: Ed Young
Most people want to make a difference. They want their actions and words to matter somehow. Yet, in searching for ways to make that happen, we often miss the obvious answers right in front of us, those found in the Bible.
Every time we turn to the Bible, something amazing happens. We learn more about our purpose, unpack the truth about God’s power and find ways to sync the two together. And in this message, we take another look at God’s plan. And we discover that what He has in store for us today is the very thing that will help us to leave our imprint on tomorrow.

1. The Target
The Target
Leadership is influence; influence is leadership. And any time we take hold of one and implement the other, we find ourselves in a unique position—one that forces us to ask the difficult questions and often face tough opposition. In this message, Ed Young begins to look at Nehemiah's leadership. And through Nehemiah's example, we begin to see that no matter where we lead out, when God is our focus—our target—he will always provide the tools necessary to take us where he wants us to go and accomplish what he wants us to accomplish.

At some point, we will all face opposition. Yet, that opposition is often the very thing that we need to encounter in order to reach the level God wants us to experience. As Ed Young continues looking at the life and leadership of Nehemiah, he reveals some powerful truths. And when we take hold and apply these leadership principles to our own lives, we will begin to realize that the opportunities God wants us to seize are far greater than any opposition we will ever face.
3. Behind the Wall
Behind the Wall
The role of a leader is one of the most multi-faceted roles any of us can undertake. To lead well demands a wide breadth of abilities and a high standard of character. Yet, when we think about leaders, we don't often realize that we have what it takes. In this message, Ed Young continues to look at one of the greatest leadership books ever penned—the book of Nehemiah. And as Ed peels back the layers of Nehemiah's leadership, we come to understand that behind the wall is a high level of integrity. And when we take hold of that kind of integrity in our own lives, God will be able to use us to lead like we may never have imagined.
