The Ultimate Influencer

Students explore who influences them and evaluate whether all influences are positive. We introduce world influencers past and present, and the role of Jesus – the ‘ultimate influencer’ – within the Christian faith. Then move on to the ways he’s influenced society and still shapes it today.

Influencers hold significant power over young people. They shape perceptions, behaviours, relationships and aspirations. This can have positive or negative impacts, like low self-esteem and unrealistic expectations. 

The session combines music with powerful stories and teaching. Our aim is to equip young people with the skills to choose positive influences in their lives. This can help them understand their full value and how to be a great influence themselves.

We encourage schools to deliver the programme to every student in one day. Our team deliver the session to each year group in back-to-back one-hour lessons. 

At the end of the tour, we book a local venue and invite students to a concert. It’s a great chance to enjoy more music from the bands they’ve seen in school and hear more stories of hope.

“Super relevant, highly engaging, full of energy, truth and uncompromising in their approach to the Gospel. The team are professional in all they do, being knowledgeable about school’s obligations in delivering a fully rounded curriculum and being sensitive to safeguarding concerns.”

Nathan Ashman, Director for Disadvantage and Christian Distinctiveness from the Bishop Fraser Trust

“This was an interactive and engaging session that perfectly supports the R.E. curriculum and school’s personal development. Students explored the life and impact of Jesus through music, dance, and multimedia.

This was a creative, inclusive, and distinctive presentation that really connected with the audience. It also encouraged students to think about how they use social media and how they can be positively influenced and be a positive influence themselves.”

Phil Miles, Assistant Director, Grace Foundation
