A Message from Chuck: Building a Legacy that Lasts
One of the deepest concerns we carry as parents and mentors is a simple, yet weighty question: What happens after I’m gone? We spend our lives building, teaching, and investing, but how do we ensure that the spiritual foundation we’ve laid stays solid in the lives of the next generation?
Friend, the answer isn’t found in a set of rigid rules or a cold list of “dos and don’ts.” It’s found in the heart of our relationships. In this video, we’re talking about how to Keep the Lines Open. Communication is the bridge that carries our faith from our hearts to theirs. If that bridge collapses, the most beautiful spiritual truths can’t get across.
I want to help you think through the “building materials” of a lasting legacy. We’ll explore:
- The Foundation of Authenticity: Why children need to see a faith that is real, not just religious.
- The Power of Listening: Understanding that keeping the lines open often starts with closing our mouths and opening our ears.
- Preparing for the Hand-off: How to transition from being the primary teacher to a supportive mentor as your children grow.
You don’t have to be a perfect parent to leave a godly legacy. You just need to be a present one. Let’s learn together how to keep those lines of communication wide open.
