Christian influencers are everywhere — your feed, your Explore page, your Reels, your For You page. Faith has officially gone mainstream online. But here’s the question nobody really wants to ask:

Is this helping people grow spiritually… or is it quietly reshaping the gospel into something it was never meant to be?

In this episode, Joshua takes a bold, cultural look at the explosive rise of Christian social-media influencers. With hard data, global trends, and raw honesty, he breaks down:

Why faith content is becoming one of the fastest-growing niches online

The surprising stats behind the rise of digital Christianity

The good this movement is actually doing

The dangers when the algorithm starts shaping people more than Scripture

How the “Christfluencer” trend is impacting society, the church, and the next generation

What believers, leaders, and everyday Christians should do in this new digital landscape

This isn’t an attack — it’s an examination. It’s a conversation about influence, integrity, and what happens when the gospel meets the algorithm.

If you’ve ever wondered whether this movement is drawing people closer to God or just creating another style of platform celebrity… this episode will challenge you, stretch you, and help you think deeper about the future of faith.

Faith isn’t a trend. It’s a calling. Let’s make sure we treat it that way.

Let’s grow.
