January 01, 2024 Building a Lasting Legacy: Insights from Garrett Unclebach on Becoming a Great Husband and Father with Faith, Purpose, and Resilience
How to become a great husband and father for your family? A lot of men struggle to be the ones they want to be, having a hard time developing themselves. This affects their relationship with their partners and their children, only leading to disappointment. If men started to think not just for themselves but also for others, especially their families, it would be their driving factor to go beyond their limits and lead a greater life. Together with faith in God, nothing is impossible!
Garrett Unclebach is a father, husband, SEAL Veteran, podcast host, director of the Men's Ministry at their church, and owner of multiple businesses. Today, Garret shares his life experiences of how he grew up in a loving family, finding his purpose in life, parenting advice, biblical masculinity, and more. Tune in as men ask questions about parenting, leadership, and business.
Quotes:
“By doing anything in my life that lasts for 1000 years, I plan to do many big things in my life. The most important thing I'll do is raise children. To me, that's what legacy is. Legacy is not money. Legacy is not power. Legacy is a way of thinking.” – Garrett Unclebach
“From the time I was five, my dad took me wherever he was. In our men's group on Saturday, I'm speaking to grown men. But I tell you, if your son can sit still, bring him on. He's not going to understand anything I say. What matters is that he sees what's important to you.” – Garrett Unclebach
“To go beyond yourself to lead yourself requires a cause that's more important than you. If you want to live a great life, make it about other people. You want to live a miserable life, make it about you.” – Garrett Unclebach
Takeaways:
In contrast to people who think that legacy equals power or money, leaving your legacy is about giving out your way of thinking to others, and then it would multiply. Thus, focus on how people will remember you by your mindset, thought processing, and attitude. And the best way to do it is to raise your children with proper love and attention.
Resilience is based on beliefs. On the other hand, Delusion is based on pride. To build resilience, you need purpose and potential. Having these two things will give you the capability to go out in the world and do whatever God puts you on earth to do.
Soldiers don’t fight for money; they risk their lives for the sake of other people, and that’s how they become heroes. Similarly, men who want to go beyond themselves need to find a reason that is more important than them. So, rather than quitting because you feel you can’t take it anymore, go forward because of your family, friends, and all the people you love.
Conclusion:
Leaving a lasting legacy isn't about wealth or power. It's about passing on your mindset, values, and love. Resilience is born from beliefs, not delusion or pride. To thrive, you need purpose and potential. They're your tickets to fulfilling your purpose on this Earth. When the going gets tough, remember the people you love and the purpose that keeps you moving forward. Lastly, remember that you have a purpose in life. God is always here to guide us. Follow his voice, let him help you, and achieve an enjoyable life with your family!
