Survived a Police Shooting to Build This Mindset

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.
