TIME's Most Influential List—Your Mom Didn't Make Their List

TIME trotted out the annual TIME 100, their list of the 100 most influential people in the world. One media outlet summarized the list by saying, "Unsurprisingly, many figures from television and film have made the cut, with TIME citing their contributions to both the world and to their profession as reasons for their inclusion." Platinum selling artist Megan Thee Stallion nabbed the coveted top spot on the list. Other notables on the list included: Astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, Dr. Zhang Youngzehn who published the Covid-19 genome, Selena Gomez, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Kamala Harris.

Editor’s Note: These results are from the TIME 2020 list

Possible Preaching Angle:

In case you're wondering, your mom—and the millions of ordinary women who strive to follow Christ—didn't make the list. Well, so what? That's TIME's list of the top 100. Fortunately, we can make our own list of the most influential people in our life, our church, our community.
