Shepherd's Fold Ministries' Director Brent Van Hook interviews best-selling author Brian Kluth about the Bless Your Pastor initiative.

Just as Esther's father left a Godly legacy through his trials, we too find that trials, not "sunny days", help shape a Godly legacy. As a captive, Esther's dad faced low social standing, seemingly influenced only a few people, struggled financially, and probably faced physical problems (since he died young). None of these hindered his legacy to Esther. May we be people who embrace the values of a Godly legacy even, and maybe especially, during trials.

Rick Underwood shares a time when God ministered to him through the Pastor of Rick's youth, Gene Williams. With just a word on the phone during life's most shocking experience, Rick experienced God's comfort.

What's your legacy? Everyone can leave a Godly legacy. One characteristic that we learn from Esther 4:14 is that a Godly legacy is a gift to those to whom you invest, a gift of inspiration during life's trials. Even if you can't be there in person to inspire a loved one, your Godly legacy can be used by God to bring inspiration.

In this episode I encourage you to consider the "Because I Love You Legacy Planner" by Brian Kluth.

This resource is perfect for everyone, minister of not.

Hear an interview with John David Van Hook and Jan Richardson as they talk about their multigenerational relationship.

Their relationship continues today despite John David moving several states away.

Learn the benefits of a multigenerational relationship as well as multigenerational ministry. It's easier to do than you might think!
