Legacy is more than worldly success—it’s about faith that endures for generations. Leaving a Godly Legacy (Proverbs 20:7) reminds us that righteous living blesses our children and grandchildren, leaving behind a testimony that glorifies God.

Worldly cravings promise satisfaction but leave us empty. From attention-seeking to materialism, this blog unpacks 1 John 2 and how believers—especially parents—can resist the pull of the world and model godly strength. True fulfillment comes not from what the world offers, but from doing what pleases God.

Christian parenting isn’t just about raising well-behaved kids—it’s about building a Christ-centered foundation that lasts. As our children grow and change, our role as spiritual leaders in the home becomes even more vital. From bedtime prayers to life-purpose conversations, every moment matters. In a world of shifting values, stand firm and choose daily to serve the Lord—because Christian parenting begins with you.

As firefighters and my son offered help, I was reminded that God’s presence shows up in everyday messes—and that loving our neighbors reflects His heart.

Living a life of faith through trials isn’t easy, but it’s in those moments we often see God move the most. My wife left a 20+ year career with no backup plan—only faith.

Raising children in this world is extremely difficult because you're constantly fighting for their attention. But a few Sundays ago, we pulled away from distractions and spent a peaceful day at the beach. My daughter ran into the cold water, my son explored with driftwood in hand, and I walked beside him. It reminded me that the presence of our Heavenly Father can still be found in the simplest moments together.
