Influenced by Preachers, Podcasts and Videos

As I have been interviewing for a new pastor position I find “Who are you following?” or “Who influences you?” or “Who are some of you favorite authors?” is a common question. I looked through my podcast and YouTube subscription lists and here is what I saw.

Disclaimer: Just because they are on this list doesn’t mean I agree with everything they post/say/teach/support/promote/do
