De-influenced

<p>Most of our stress comes from people online telling us what to be, what to wear, what to buy, and where to go. Jesus frees us from all of that.</p><p>In this episode of the Stress Less series through Philippians, Alex and Lokelani look at Epaphroditus, a man named after a pagan god who became one of Paul’s most trusted brothers in the ministry. Paul gives him five titles: brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, messenger, and minister. If the people influencing you don’t fit that list, they shouldn’t be influencing you.</p><p>In this episode:</p><p>* The 5 titles every godly influence in your life should have</p><p>* Why you should look for influences in places of suffering, not prosperity</p><p>* Why a screen pastor can never replace a physical one</p><p>* No, there is no “spirit of tardiness”</p><p>* How to be de-influenced: honor godly people, look at their life, think for yourself, and watch out for the vain</p><p>After the Amen question: How do you need Christ to influence you?
