Lovett Legacy – A 5-year Journey From Boyhood to Manhood

Lovett Legacy Shift One

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.

  • Temporary to Eternal: Week One – The Biggest Shift a Man Can Make

    Boys think short term. Men think long term. God will lift our vision. This week, Cale and I started the new shift, From the Temporary to the Eternal, by talking about the biggest shift a man can make: learning to think long-term. Boys live for the moment, but men lift their eyes to what matters…

  • Control to Surrender – Difficulty Day

    After the OU–Michigan game, I told Cale to get in the truck. We had something to do before we camped out. He was nervous but climbed in. We drove about five miles down the road to a bridge off Sooner between 122nd and Hefner. I parked on the side of the road, and we walked…

  • Control to Surrender: Week Nine – Surrendering Family

    Boys neglect. Men focus. God will help our families. This week, Cale and I looked at the heavy consequences of David’s failures as a father and what they teach us about manhood and family.

Through David’s failure with Bathsheba, we saw how temptation, misuse of power, and cover-ups spiral into devastating consequences, and how sin blinds us to our own…

  • Control to Surrender: Week Seven – Surrendering Reputation

    Boys worry. Men worship. God will reward our devotion. This week, Cale and I explored what it means for a man to surrender his reputation and live for an audience of One. Through the story of David bringing the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem, we learned that worship isn’t just singing, it’s declaring God’s…
