Welcome to Influence

A Stewardship Journey

Before we discuss money, credit, homeownership, investing, entrepreneurship, business, or legacy, pause and ask:

“Lord, what have You entrusted to me?”

Influence is a stewardship journey from Consumer to Legacy Builder.

“So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who causes the growth.”

1 Corinthians 3:7

Today's Stewardship Thought

“Influence grows when stewardship grows.”

Welcome to Influence

A personal welcome message from Stenell The Money Therapist sharing the heart behind Influence and the journey from Consumer to Owner to Investor to Legacy Builder.

From the Heart of Stenell

Why Influence Exists

I created Influence because I have seen too many good people struggle.

Not because they are lazy. Not because they don't care.

But because nobody ever taught them how to think differently about stewardship.

I've spent more than 20 years serving through ministry, counseling, education, leadership development, financial wellness, abuse awareness, entrepreneurship, and community service.

I've worked with children, families, churches, caregivers, entrepreneurs, students, and individuals from all walks of life.

And through those experiences, I've learned something:

The money is rarely the problem.

The decisions are.

The habits are.

The mindset is.

The stewardship is.

Influence was created to help people pause, reflect, and ask a better question:

“Lord, what have You entrusted to me, and what am I doing with it?”

Where Am I?
