From Ease to Difficulty

Boys want a life of ease. Men are willing to embrace difficulty.

For the next 10 weeks, Cale and I will be studying the life of Joseph. Through this study, we’ll explore how Joseph navigated the many challenges in his life and how he consistently responded in ways that glorified God.

  • Shift One – From Ease to Difficulty

    Cale and I started our daily Lovett Legacy journey together this morning. I got up at 6:00am, made Cale a cup of tea and myself a cup of coffee. I woke him up at 6:15am and reminded him of his 750/750 challenge. He knocked out 30 push-ups and 30 sit-ups, and then we cracked open…

  • Initiation – Friday Night

    Alissa and Cale arrived back home around 8:30pm from the Directional Dinner on Friday night. I had left a note in Cale’s room before I left for work that morning simply stating, “Pack a bag for the weekend. The Lovett Legacy begins tonight.” He knew we were going somewhere, but was unsure of where.

Although this program is designed for me to guide Cale from boyhood into manhood, the entire thing began with Alissa. Alissa took Cale to Lake Hefner on Friday evening. She had written him a letter explaining why she is so proud of…
