    A Legacy of Raising Up the Next Generation with Mike Berkenpas | Ep. 7

    **Who are you lifting up?** What does it mean to leave a lasting Christian legacy? And how can we use our God-given gifts to invest in the next generation? In Episode 7 of **Legacy (Re)Builders**, Matt Robles sits down with **Mike Berkenpas**, a longtime Presbyterian ruling elder, nuclear engineer, and Christian school teacher, to explore a life devoted to serving others, mentoring younger generations, and building Christ's church. Drawing on nearly four decades of church leadership, Mike shares how his understanding of leadership has matured—from focusing on his own responsibilities and accomplishments to intentionally developing the gifts and abilities of others. Together, Matt and Mike discuss: - **Leading by example:** What it means to be a faithful ruling elder and shepherd God's people. - **Raising up the next generation:** Recognizing potential, encouraging young men, and helping others discover their God-given gifts. - **Faith and vocation:** Why our calling is about more than our careers, and how Christians can glorify God through their work. - **Parenting and education:** Developing character, confidence, and a long-term vision for our children. - **Faith through suffering:** How Mike's experience with cancer reshaped his priorities and deepened his trust in God's providence. - **Building a lasting legacy:** Why the greatest impact we leave may be found in the lives of those we've encouraged, discipled, and equipped. Throughout the conversation, one theme emerges: **faithful leadership isn't about making a name for ourselves. It's about helping others become who God has called them to be.** Whether you're a parent, elder, teacher, mentor, or simply someone seeking to live more intentionally for Christ, this conversation offers encouragement to invest in the people God has placed in your life. --- **About Legacy (Re)Builders** Legacy (Re)Builders is a Christian podcast exploring what it means to live intentionally, build faithfully, and leave a legacy that glorifies God.

    Building Your Legacy in Your 20s with Hammer Shalawylo | Ep. 6

    Your legacy doesn’t start when you’re 65. You’re building it right now. In Episode 6 of Legacy (Re)Builders, Matt sits down with Hammer Shalawylo to talk about what it looks like to take your 20s seriously, not by chasing money, experiences, status, or the “YOLO” lifestyle, but by intentionally becoming the kind of man you want to be decades from now. Hammer shares his story, his faith, the influence of older Christian men in his life, and why discipline, hard work, fitness, study, relationships, church, and spiritual growth matter now - not someday. We talk about ambition, mentorship, choosing where and how to build your life, preparing for marriage and family, and even thinking about the kind of legacy you hope to leave to grandchildren who don’t exist yet. Your 20s aren’t throwaway years. What are you building with them? Legacy (Re)Builders - faithful living today, building for tomorrow, glorifying God always.

    What Is a Successful Life? with Colt McKelvey | Ep. 5

    What does it actually mean to live a successful life? Matt sits down with Colt McKelvey, owner of McKelvey Elder Law & Estate Planning, for a candid conversation about ambition, risk, business, relationships, fatherhood, faith - and what we're really building with the lives God has given us. Colt shares the story behind starting his own law firm, the financial uncertainty and risk that came with it, how relationships have shaped his life and business, and some of the struggles and failures that don't normally make it into the story of a “successful” entrepreneur. But underneath it all is a bigger question: If you build a successful career, make money, grow a business, and accomplish everything you set out to do - but fail to faithfully serve Christ and the people God has entrusted to you - were you actually successful? Matt and Colt talk about Christian ambition, taking risks, marriage and fatherhood, honesty about our own failures, finding purpose in ordinary work, and building a legacy that extends far beyond professional achievement. Because a successful life isn't ultimately measured by what you accumulate or accomplish - but by who you're living for. Legacy (Re)Builders is about faithful living today, building for tomorrow, and glorifying God always.

    Christ Is King: So What Now? with Josh Howard | Ep. 4

    Christ is King. So what now? If Jesus Christ reigns today, that truth should shape far more than what we believe about the future. It should change how we raise our children, approach our work, handle conflict, worship, build the Church, and think about the generations coming after us. In Episode 4 of Legacy (Re)Builders, Matt Robles sits down with Dr. Joshua P. Howard, Senior Pastor of New Covenant Presbyterian Church (PCA) and co-founder and host of Eschatology Matters, for a wide-ranging conversation about what it looks like to live faithfully under the reign of Christ. We talk about eschatology, covenant theology, raising children for the Kingdom, Christian conflict and unity, worship, meaningful work, the “bound strong man,” and building today for a future we may never personally see. What if our calling isn't simply to survive the battles of our generation—but to faithfully labor so that our children and grandchildren can enjoy the fruit? Christ is King. The question is: how should we live because of it?

    I Was Becoming What I Hated: How God Rebuilds a Legacy with Paul Korns | Ep. 3

    What do you do when the legacy you inherited isn't the legacy you want to leave behind? In Episode 3 of Legacy (Re)Builders, Matt's former Geneva College roommate Paul Korns joins Matt and Colt for an honest conversation about broken families, fatherhood, addiction, anger, repentance, God's providence, and the grace that can change the trajectory of a family. Paul shares the story of losing his biological father after years of addiction, his own struggles as a young man, and the moment he realized he was becoming the very kind of man he never wanted to become. Through God's grace, that wasn't the end of his story. More than 20 years after Matt and Paul met as students at Geneva College, they look back at the men they were then—and at the remarkable providence of God in giving them families, faith, meaningful work, and an opportunity to build something different for the generations coming after them. Paul also talks about the impact of the stepfather who became his dad, what he's trying to pass on to his own children, building a business they may one day inherit, generosity, gratitude, and why he hopes his life will ultimately be remembered for faithfulness to God. 🎙️ Legacy (Re)Builders — Episode 3 Faithful living today. Building for tomorrow. Glorifying God always. #LegacyReBuilders #ChristianPodcast #ChristianLiving #Fatherhood #Legacy #GenerationalLegacy #faith Intro/ Outro Track: "Country Strumstick Mountain Hop" “Music by Andy Slatter”

    What Is Legacy (Re)Builders All About? with Matt Robles | Ep. 2

    What does it actually mean to leave a legacy—and what are we trying to build with Legacy (Re)Builders? In Episode 2, Colt McKelvey turns the microphone around and interviews co-host Matt Robles about the vision behind the podcast and why Christians should think differently about legacy. Legacy isn't simply about how much money we leave behind, what we accomplish, or whether people remember our names. The better question is: Were we faithful with what God entrusted to us? Matt and Colt discuss what that faithfulness looks like across every area of life—from marriage, parenting and family worship to work, wealth, estate planning, community, and the Church. They talk candidly about their own failures as fathers, the importance of repentance, the influence our habits have on our children, and why the inheritance we leave extends far beyond our finances. They also explore the biblical pattern of receiving truth and wisdom from those who came before us and faithfully passing it on to our children and future generations. Ultimately, Legacy (Re)Builders exists to restore an emphasis on faithful living today, building for tomorrow, and glorifying God always—because there is no part of our lives that does not belong to Christ.
