The Influencers Podcast Dave Donaldson & Scott Young

Ever heard the phrase, Sometimes the hardest part to starting something new is showing up? Tony Phillips is a guy who showed up. A businessman between jobs, it was a need for volunteer help that captured Phillips’ attention. His love for people drew him to a community ministry ' that supports young kids. Even when his new job made volunteering difficult, he persevered, staying connected, showing up, loving those kids, and being ready to do whatever was needed because he knew God had a plan. That plan included a broken-down warehouse located across the street from the prison, a local ministry, and Phillips, a fitness fanatic. Today God uses Phillips as His liaison to any ex-prisoners who dare to cross the street. Phillips, a physical force to be reckoned with, introduces them to God through workouts at his gym and through work at the warehouse that provides churches with goods to help needy families. Whether they work out together or wind up serving others together, they all hear about the God who redeems, restores and blesses when we show up.

A pot of coffee, a Facebook post, and a bulky Bible--how a movement started with military spouses. Megan B. Brown, a seasoned military spouse, bible teacher, and military missionary explains living out the Great Commission. As an atheist married to a military man, God gently led Brown to Himself, but growing in Christ was challenging. She found it hard to “fit in” at church, and not knowing how to pray or understand scripture made for a very lonely time. Yet through her isolation, she found a Jesus who was there when no one else was. Brown discovered a distinct calling on military spouses; a group perfectly suited to live out the Great Commission as their families already “go into all the world”. God desires that we trust Him and join His fierce pursuit for the hearts of men. Are you ready to put on the coffee and see where He takes you?

Ever wonder why it is so hard to get along with someone you love? Dr. Gary Chapman, author of the New York Times Best Seller, The 5 Love Languages, is a speaker, counselor, and syndicated radio host. The early years of his marriage brought conflict that led to the discovery that God had a different idea about love than he did. Through those difficulties God revealed to him that love is not based on a feeling; it begins with an attitude that is followed by appropriate behavior. Understanding another person’s love language makes navigating relationships infinitely more possible when we recognize how to love them in a way they feel valued. Dr. Chapman’s observations are timeless and can be applied to any relationship. At home or at work, each of us can serve others, just as Christ did, discovering His love through us, and the change that brings to our world.

 Can God use an introvert to change lives? Don Schoendorfer, author, MIT engineer, Ph.D., and successful inventor, experienced great professional success, but it took a personal crisis to expose his shortcomings. When skill and mathematics failed him, Schoendorfer had an encounter with God that helped him begin to understand what it meant to live a surrendered life. He confronted a 50-year struggle with finding purpose and revisited restless impressions God had placed upon his heart. From this was born, Free Wheelchair Mission. Today, the mathematical introvert who didn’t like being around people has changed lives in 93 developing nations by supplying 1.3 million free wheelchairs to those in desperate need. If you have ever wondered if it is possible to live a life of purpose and fulfillment serving God and people, Schoendorfer's example reveals that it is within your reach, you only need to grasp it.
