The Legacy Journey

DAY 4 OF 31

Us: Securing Your Family

As you make your way through the framework of The Legacy Journey, you tackle your most pressing financial problems in Now. From there, you start casting a vision for where you want to go and how you will get there in Then.

Let me tell you what happens next. As soon as you get some money saved in your 401(k) and you realize that your kids will get through college and you’ll retire with dignity, something really cool takes place: Your vision expands.

In the early stages, you focused on your future—sort of like financial tunnel vision. Your line of sight pointed forward with laser intensity. But as you move farther along The Legacy Journey, your peripheral vision kicks in, and you start seeing more of what’s going on around you. You begin identifying opportunities to build a legacy—especially for your family.

That’s called Us.

In Now, you protected your family. You provided for their needs because that was the immediate challenge. But this is different. This isn’t just meeting needs in the present. It’s guaranteeing security for years to come.

Proverbs 13:22 says that good people leave behind something of value after they’re gone. They provide an inheritance that outlives them and changes the trajectory of their children and grandchildren. During Us, you live out that verse. You take steps toward establishing a lasting legacy that will change your family tree.

You can’t change the past, but you can touch the future. No matter how messed up your finances were before The Legacy Journey and no matter how many generations deep those patterns extend, Us gives you the chance to turn back the tide of financial mistakes.

Expand your vision and begin building a legacy that will bless your children’s children. Take advantage of the power God has given you to make a difference in your family—both now and for years to come.
