A list was recently compiled that listed the 10 most followed Christians (as related to the WeFollow Directory). I imagine that it’s not as “complete” as it could be as many people are not familiar with WeFollow. In addition, not every Christian puts themselves in the Christian category.
But, it is what it is. I’m not sure what this really means, if anything, but it is fascinating, right? There are a few that are definitely not celebrities or “famous” in the typical fashion… but they are famous on the internet!
Here’s the list:
- Orrin Woodward – 135,025
- Pleasure Ellis – 126,340
- David J. Morris – 121,930
- Rick Warren – 114,136
- Christopher Wishnie – 112,968
- Adam Smith – 105,406
- Michael Hyatt – 81,346
- Bille Baty – 73,582
- Richard D Parker – 67,968
- Bible Prophecy Today – 67,016
- Trevor Lund – 66,236
Whoops. +1.
Are we missing anyone?
Kyle Reed says
I have heard of Mike Hyatt and Adam Smith.

I guess I am not being influenced.
Jim says

Kyle Reed says

Dave says

Jim says

Brian Alexander says
John Saddington?
Kyle Reed says
he is just on the other page, just out of the top 10
David Knapp says
Who is John Saddington? 😉
Rick Smith says
Hmmmm. This list Is a bit misleading. It’s important to know HOW the followers were obtained…..
David Knapp says
I obtained the list from WeFollow. I believe one has to register with them before they are considered for the list.
Adam Smith says
i sold my body
Blake says
John Piper has over 75K.
Hillsong United is 82K
Joel Osteen has 89K
@Jesus has 171K
Karsten Chearis says
I don’t think the person who has the @Jesus account is Christian.
David Knapp says
John I wanted to thank you for using the list I compiled. Thank you! 🙂
The list is incomplete but people are welcomed to leave comments letting us know who they think should make it.
Again, thank you very much.
Fran Grubb says
David Jerimiah, Charles Stanley, Max Lucado.

I keep forgetting these people are popular and have to catch myself from trying to converse with them on twitter.
sad
for when the numbers count too much, the relationship dies
Graham Brenna says
Agreed. I follow way more people than follow me. I try and interact with people when I can. Usually respond to all @ replies.
PhillipGibb says
when I go over 100k followers, I will respond to your @ replies Graham.
lol
Norwood Davis says
John C. Maxwell, 109,000+
Sam says
Hmm, it does seem a bit incomplete. @pastormark should be number 10 on here. Ive only heard of two of those guys. Waren and Hyatt
Dewitt says
This list is a huge eye-opener in many ways about the impact of technology and the way we state our faith.
Ben Zeier says
Chris Brady should also be on this list (rascaltweets). He’s a bestselling author or Rascal: Making a Difference by Becoming an Original Character and co-author with Orrin Woodward (Orrin_Woodward) of Launching a Leadership Revolution and a number of other books!
Clint Fix says
I follow many of these people and they all have great content. I’ve actually had the privilege of meeting Orrin Woodward and listen to much of his material that he and his company produce. I wrote a quick review of Orrin’s new book Resolved: 13 Resolutions for LIFE. Great man and great content!
Here’s my review of his book:
