The good news? Influence doesn’t begin with authority; it begins with obedience. Scripture is full of people who led transformation from unexpected places. Joseph influenced the destiny of nations from prison. Esther reshaped history from the palace, not the throne. Daniel brought integrity and wisdom into a pagan court as a captive.
When we act on conviction rather than position, God multiplies our impact. You can start by embodying the principles you’ve learned through Mi: celebrate stories of generosity, speak about ministry outcomes instead of financial goals, and pray with your team for God’s provision rather than strategizing around scarcity.
Over time, people notice the fruit. Colleagues begin to ask why your donor communications feel more relational. Leaders observe greater joy and peace in your work. These small shifts create a quiet but undeniable ripple.
Paul wrote, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters” (Colossians 3:23). Your faithfulness in applying truth, even when others don’t yet see it, cultivates a culture ready for transformation.
Influence from the middle is slow, but sacred. It’s the soil work before the harvest—the kind of leadership that proves trust before it’s granted authority. Keep planting seeds of faithfulness. God is already working in the hearts of those around you.
