On February 18, 2026, over 150 women joined us for the webinar—YOU are an Influencer.
The topic of influence is one that is so relevant in our world today. Maybe you think of social media influencers. Maybe an inspiring TED Talk speaker. Maybe a world-renowned celebrity. Our discussion in this webinar, however, allowed us to shift our focus to godly influence. Not using influence for personal gain, but in service to God. Making an impact in HIS kingdom.
Through the words, experiences, struggles, and wisdom of Shelli DiGiovanni, Erin Chesak, and Christy Geiger, we were reminded that godly influence looks different for everyone! While we share the same identity as children of God, we have been uniquely blessed with gifts, talents, strengths, and relationships with others. As we remain grounded in this identity and align our heart to God’s, the more natural it becomes to use these unique gifts for the advancement of his mission over our own.
As you think of your circles of influence (God, family, church, career, and community), we encourage you to seek out ways to intentionally influence these groups of people. Use your gifts. Speak truth in love. Encourage, uplift, fulfill, and pray for others. In the way our loving God has done for us.
We are so incredibly grateful to our wonderful speakers, WELS Women’s Ministry CONGO team, and all participants for making this webinar happen! We pray this equipped you with wisdom, inspiration, and peace as you seek to influence others in your current season of life.
