Dr. Evans spoke this weekend at our Pine Cove Men’s Conference and did a great job challenging us as men to lead our family. As a new father to be I came away thinking about my legacy as a father and husband. I started to think well it all starts now, but I look at my life and realized I have been shaping that legacy for a long time. I remember my own dad waking up in the morning rocking in his chair and reading his bible. That sound of that chair reminds me that it take every day to build that legacy with a man diving into God’s word and living it our day after day. I remember as a freshman in college taking time that I was wasting getting a older wiser man to come beside me and keep me accountable. I remember other men doing the same thing in my life, pouring into me, shaping me, and knocking off some rough edges. I have had great people around me to call me out, encourage me, and love me even when I fail. I remember…I have an amazing wife that helps me remember that it is more than a legacy. She reminds me that I am a Godly man because that is what he has called me to be.
All those reminders are just that, reminders to help me keep on track. But now what do I do? I use what God has given me and put around me and be a light in a dark place so that I can be a reminder to what Christ has done. The reminder of the God News.
