Rooted in 1 Timothy 4:12 and Ephesians 2:10, this message is a challenge for every man and young leader:

• Find your God-given purpose.

Your life is preaching a message—whether you like it or not. The real question is: What kind of legacy are you building?

If you want to lead your family, community, or team, you must first lead yourself.
