Lightwaves Workbook

Influence is often measured by how many people know you, how many people listen to you, and how much access you have to important spaces.

But from a biblical perspective, influence must be evaluated by more than visibility. It must be evaluated by responsibility, service, and the fruit of one’s presence.

Light has three fundamental characteristics:

• Presence: Light occupies a space.
• Revelation: Light makes things visible.
• Direction: Light helps people see where they are going.

These characteristics provide a framework for understanding influence.

Influence is not simply about occupying a space. It is about changing what becomes possible, visible, and understandable because you are there.

The central question is not merely, “How can I become influential?” but “How can I become a faithful steward of the influence available to me?”

This shifts influence from a personal ambition to a purposeful responsibility.

To make this practical, we need a strategy that moves from conviction to action.
