Intentional Fatherhood

S2E6: Praying Legacy, Practicing Initiation, Passing on Wisdom + The Little Things Are the Big Things


Listen Later

In the final episode of season two, we explore what it really means to give your death away — to live and lead in such a way that your life becomes a lasting gift to those who follow. We unpack the word legacy, not as something we build for ourselves, but as something we intentionally sow into the next generation through prayer, blessing, and everyday faithfulness.


Legacy begins with prayer. Before we practice it, we have to pray it — asking God to refine our desires and shape our vision for who our children are becoming. We talk about what it looks like to be initiated into new stages of life by those ahead of us while initiating our kids into maturity, responsibility, and faith. From writing letters and creating family rituals to teaching practical life skills and setting healthy parameters — like viewing a smartphone as a rite of passage — we share tangible ways to pass along wisdom and form character.


Because the little things are the big things. Our children will often become who we tell them we see them becoming. And ultimately, none of this makes sense without the resurrection of Jesus — because without it, there’s nothing redemptive about our death. But in light of His resurrection, every act of love, sacrifice, and legacy becomes deeply meaningful.
