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?
I have heard of Mike Hyatt and Adam Smith.
Thats it.
I guess I am not being influenced.
Rick warren?
oh ya, I have heard of 3 of those people
I know who ONE person is on that list.
i know 4, 6, 7 …the rest…so hoping i would be in there….NOT!
John Saddington?
he is just on the other page, just out of the top 10
Who is John Saddington?
Hmmmm. This list Is a bit misleading. It’s important to know HOW the followers were obtained…..
I obtained the list from WeFollow. I believe one has to register with them before they are considered for the list.
i sold my body
John Piper has over 75K.
Hillsong United is 82K
Joel Osteen has 89K
@Jesus has 171K
I don’t think the person who has the @Jesus account is Christian.
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.
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
Agreed. I follow way more people than follow me. I try and interact with people when I can. Usually respond to all @ replies.
when I go over 100k followers, I will respond to your @ replies Graham.
lol
John C. Maxwell, 109,000+
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
This list is a huge eye-opener in many ways about the impact of technology and the way we state our faith.
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!
