What will remain of your life's impact when you're no longer here? In this powerful message on legacy, we explore how even after death, our influence can continue to bring life to others.

Through the story of Elisha in 2 Kings 13:20-21, we discover how one man's faithfulness continued working miracles long after his passing. Just as Elisha's bones revived a dead man, your spiritual legacy can breathe life into future generations—people you may never meet in your lifetime.

We unpack seven critical legacy blockers that might be preventing you from making your maximum impact: lack of focus, living according to others' expectations, harboring bitterness, consuming without contributing, misplacing priorities, clinging to comfort zones, and surrendering to defeatism. Each of these obstacles doesn't just diminish your present effectiveness—they rob future generations of your unique contribution.

But legacy-building isn't just about avoiding pitfalls. Drawing from biblical wisdom, we explore ten practical ways to construct a legacy that outlasts your life: cultivating authentic joy, monitoring your impact, maximizing your God-given talents, seizing the present moment, embracing small opportunities, starting with those closest to you, bringing your best self daily, prioritizing service over success, finding balance, and putting others' needs before your own.

The heart of legacy isn't what we accomplish for ourselves, but rather who we become and how that transformation affects others. When life squeezes you, what comes out reveals who you truly are—and that essence is what persists long after you're gone.

Don't miss our 21-day fast beginning now! Visit our website or social channels for daily devotional videos and resources to help you deepen your spiritual roots and expand your legacy potential. Your greatest contribution might be one uncomfortable conversation, one prayer, or one act of service away. What legacy are you building today?
