  • You're Already What You're Trying to Become--Here's Why You Don't See It

    You're Already What You're Trying to Become--Here's Why You Don't See It
    Dec 25 2025

    What if your influence is not limited by your gifting, effort, or calling, but by your identity?


    In this powerful episode of The School of Influence, Devin Schubert sits down with author, traveling minister, and Kingdom teacher Cameron Garner to unpack one of the most misunderstood truths in leadership and faith today: influence flows from identity, not effort.


    Cameron shares his journey from religious performance to true sonship, revealing how many believers are trying to become what they already are. Together, they break down the difference between power and authority, why waiting on God can sometimes stall obedience, and how truth renews the mind and unlocks lasting transformation.


    This conversation challenges the lie that God controls everything while reminding listeners that Heaven moves through surrendered sons and daughters who know who they are. You will walk away with clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of how identity fuels real Kingdom influence in everyday life, leadership, ministry, business, and beyond.


    If you are ready to stop living small, stop striving, and start leading from truth, this episode is for you.

  • Miracle Healing After 11 Years in a Wheelchair

    Miracle Healing After 11 Years in a Wheelchair
    Nov 19 2025

    In this powerful episode of The School of Influence, Devin Schubert sits down with TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and joy-driven coach Nikki Cruise, whose story will shake you, stretch you, and spark fresh faith.


    For 11 years, Nikki lived strapped into a wheelchair. She couldn’t feed herself, fix her hair, or even steady her own hands. Doctors told her she would never walk again. But God had a different plan. What changed the trajectory of Nikki’s life wasn’t just a miracle moment—it was a choice. A choice to refuse the world’s labels. A choice to stop letting circumstances define her. A choice to believe again.

    In this conversation, Nikki shares how gratitude became her turning point, how joy became her weapon, and how purpose pulled her out of despair into a bold, Kingdom-driven life of influence.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or unsure of your calling, this episode will remind you that your “wheelchair”—whatever it is—does not get the final say.
