I'm a big fan of having mentors – there are so many incredible people I look up to!   One mentor and personal friend that I love in particular is Jesus Christ.   The way he lived, taught, and shared is the perfect example of the ultimate influencer, attractive character, and greatest thought leader of all time.   His ability to lead a movement and impact others is highlighted in how "he taught them as one having authority."   Well, that's the big question for us, isn't it?   How can we teach with authority?
