What does it really mean to have influence?

In a world that measures success by followers, likes, downloads, and views, it's easy to believe that bigger numbers equal greater impact. But is that how God measures influence?

In this thought-provoking conversation, Vivian sits down with Rob Patz, founder and CEO of Coastal Media and Abundant TV, to explore the difference between having followers and having true Kingdom influence. With more than 25 years of experience in Christian media, Rob shares how God transformed his passion for media into a calling to help others amplify their message for eternal impact.

In this episode, Vivian and Rob discuss:

• The difference between followers and genuine Kingdom influence
• Growing an audience versus growing lasting influence
• The pressure Christian communicators face to build a platform
• Why authenticity and heart posture matter more than numbers
• Discerning the difference between good opportunities and God's assignment
• Staying spiritually balanced through prayer, discernment, and obedience
• Encouragement for women who feel their influence is too small to matter
• How Abundant TV is creating opportunities for Christian voices to reach the world
