Godly Legacy or Family Mess? What Every Christian Needs to Know About Wills, Trusts & Business
Most Christians don’t think about legacy planning until it’s too late. In this powerful episode, attorney Samuel Johnson joins Brandon Scroggins and Nick Carter to walk through biblical wealth building, estate and legacy planning, child custody, trusts, Christian business formation, and how to protect your assets for future generations.
Raised on a farm in Michigan and now leading a legal practice in Alabama, Samuel shares his inspiring journey—from logger and denture craftsman to law school and clerking for a Supreme Court justice. With clarity and conviction, he shows why dominion-minded Christians must plan ahead—not just for their own security, but for the flourishing of their household and future generations.
