Building Legacy, Not Just Lifestyle
Manage episode 490218087 series 3314696
This episode, part of the "Legacy Walker" series, emphasizes the importance of building a lasting spiritual legacy rather than focusing solely on personal success and lifestyle. It contrasts the cultural obsession with "hustle" and material achievements against the biblical perspective of raising children as blessings and arrows for God's purpose. The message encourages intentional discipleship within families, viewing children as spiritual investments rather than burdens, and prioritizing the building of godly households over worldly accomplishments.
