Being Influenced by the Right People | Bro. Josh Alvarado | Episode 210

Who you allow to influence you can change the direction of your life.In Episode 210 of He’s Not Done Yet, Bro. Josh Alvarado shares his testimony of how surrounding himself with the right people helped change the direction of his walk with God.There was a season when Josh was attending church but wasn’t praying, fasting, reading God’s Word, or pursuing God the way he knew he should. He found himself around the wrong influences and slowly becoming spiritually disconnected.But things began to change when he started spending time with people who challenged him to become better.Young people who prayed. Godly men who encouraged him. Mentors who prayed with him, corrected him, invested in him, and demonstrated what it looked like to serve God faithfully.Those influences helped Josh move from simply attending church to actively pursuing God—praying, serving, participating in outreach, joining the Ambassador program, working with the tech team, and asking God, “What can I do more for You?”Josh also shares an important truth: influence goes far beyond our friendships. The music we listen to, the things we watch, the books we read, the content on our phones, and the voices we consistently listen to can all influence us for good or for bad.“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” — 1 Corinthians 15:33 KJVThis episode challenges us to examine the influences in our own lives:Who are you surrounding yourself with? Are they helping you become who God has called you to be? And what kind of influence are you having on the people around you?Your circle matters. Your influences matter. And He’s Not Done Yet.
