Forging Legacy
For men who want to grow steadily, take responsibility seriously, and leave something behind that lasts.
Legacy is rarely dramatic. It is formed in small choices, daily discipline, and faithful service.
Our gifts matter — but only when they are offered for the good of others.
The work is not glamorous. It is often quiet. Sometimes slow. But it is worth taking seriously.
This is a place to think clearly about that work — and to continue it.
