Interesting question because I could put in Jesus and Bible characters, of course. Then the question is this more just people you’ve known personally? Then for me, the first two are obvious, my father & my wife, but then I struggle with who to put third? Can I put my 4 children tied for 3rd? And I have a lot of friends, can I put a bunch of them tied for third? Or my youth leaders that I work closely with tied for 3rd? I can’t seem to pick just one of them. Then is it influential currently or who has been influential in my whole life? Then it’s also hard for me to pick just one author out of the several I like.
Anyhow, here is my stab:
1. My father, Howard Snyder
2. My wife, Nicole Snyder
3. Craig Scandrett-Leatherman, mentor when I was in high school who I still keep in touch with.
If I picked an author (besides my dad): Richard Foster
If I picked a Bible character besides Jesus: Paul
OT: David
If I picked a good friend: Ryan Smith
Good friend from high school that I still keep in contact with: Brian McLaughlin
Famous person in history: St. Francis of Asis
Historical American: MLK
