Other pastors who have heavily influenced me:

Note: As of turning 40 I have realized that increasingly many are younger than me. That has been a hard reality of humility to realize. But a wise man told me once that "your pride is best kept in check by gleaning wisdom in the fields of those younger than yourself." Another said "the new paradigms of the kingdom are always in the hands that are hungry for it, thus the successfull grow fat and the failures stay thin. Run at the pace of the young...they are the chariots of fire; the old...are edsils and just don't know it yet."
