Legacy Leadership Forums

The goal of Kingdom Leadership is always flourishing. In John 10:10, Jesus tells us He came so we "may have life and have it abundantly." When we align our work, service, and leadership with this in mind, we are compelled to share this abundant life with all those who cross our path. www.legacyleadershipfoums.org

God doesn't wait for extraordinary moments to form us.

He meets us in ordinary conversations, daily work, unexpected disappointments, celebrations, and quiet moments of reflection.

Spiritual formation is less about escaping everyday life and more about learning to recognize God within it.

Where have you experienced God's presence in an ordinary moment recently?

Legacy Leadership Forums knows the importance of spending time with Jesus in prayer and Bible reading so we will be in step with Him, and attentive to Him through His community of believers. Our recent Prayer Retreat allowed our Forum members the time to reflect on God and focus on what He is communicating. We should always be ready to answer the question ‘what is God saying to you and doing with you now?’

Some questions are worth returning to throughout life.

Who is God?
Who am I?
What does God desire to do through me?

The answers continue to unfold as we grow. Perhaps the journey isn't about finding all the answers, but continuing to live into the questions with God.

Which of these questions feels most important for you today?

Has God entrusted you with your own business? Has He blessed you with a position of authority where you work? Christian leadership is a God-centered calling where authority is exercised through love, humility, and example, creating an environment where people are empowered to flourish. www.legacyleadershipforums.org

2 Corinthians 5:20 - Therefore, we are all ambassadors for Christ, God making His appeal through us.

Titus 1:7 and 1 Timothy 3:2 remind us that an overseer must be “above reproach.” This especially holds true for Kingdom Leaders. Effective Christian leadership begins with the transformation of the leader’s heart, character, and life. Learn more about Legacy Leadership Forums: www.legacyleadershipforums.org

-- For a long time, I thought being a pastor or working in a church was the highest calling on this side of heaven. But I’ve come to realize that the highest calling is simply being a disciple wherever God calls you. Legacy helped me understand that—and more importantly, helped me become proud to be a "Landscape Preacher." My work is my worship. Amen!
I joined Legacy at 29 years old as a “wantrepreneur”—a young guy with more ideas than money, and if I’m being honest, I was pretty empty inside. I came into Legacy wanting business wisdom so I could succeed and build relationships with impactful business leaders. What I didn’t understand at the time was that putting wisdom into action every day first requires discernment: learning to recognize God’s voice above the noise of the world—and, sometimes, above the noise of my own desires.
It has taken more than six years for the wisdom of my Legacy brothers and sisters to really sink deep into my soul. But looking back, there’s no doubt in my mind that God used them to open my eyes to His will instead of my priorities. My Legacy peers have become some of my greatest cheerleaders in life, and I’m forever grateful for them.
Yes, I’m still a landscaper. But I’m a landscaper with a new and empowered anointing. Groen Homescape isn’t just about landscapes anymore. Our mission is to be our clients’ landscapers for life—with eternal impact.
I’m still building landscapes, but now I understand that God can use the work of my hands to build something that lasts far beyond the landscape. --
