Talks from the Summit- The Calling to Make Disciples- Josh Sherley

Author: Bryan Craig May 20, 2026 Duration: 51:16

Our Regional Director from Bakersfield, CA, Josh Sherley, did a great talk Saturday night of our Summit, zeroing in on the Target to Making Disciples and what that looks like today and in our ministry.  Many were inspired and many made major commitments to the Lord that night.  Listen and be challenged in your own life.


Hosted by Bryan Craig, Influencers Global Ministries is a podcast grounded in Christian faith, focusing on the practical and personal aspects of spiritual growth. The conversations here move beyond theory, exploring what it means to cultivate a deep, abiding relationship with Jesus Christ in the context of everyday life. This isn't about quick fixes or inspirational soundbites; it's about the sustained, sometimes challenging work of drawing closer to God. Central to the discussion is a specific, nine-month process referred to simply as "the Journey," which serves as a framework for personal transformation. The aim is to equip listeners not just for their own spiritual intimacy, but to naturally become a source of positive, authentic influence within their own circles-their families, workplaces, and communities. Each episode offers reflection, biblical insight, and stories from those walking this path, providing companionship and tangible direction for anyone feeling called to a deeper faith that actively engages with the world. You'll find this podcast to be a thoughtful resource for that ongoing process.
