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.

  • Control to Surrender: Week Two – Surrendering Attention

    Boys want man’s attention. Men want God’s attention. God will see our hearts. This week, we looked at the story of David being chosen by God from among Jesse’s sons. We drew the same conclusions that have always been drawn from this story for 1,000+ years. Men judge outward appearance. God judges our heart. In…

  • Control to Surrender: Week One

    Boys Control. Men Surrender. God will judge our choices. Over the next 10 weeks, Cale and I will be examining the life of King David. We began our study by looking at King Saul, and the fact that he did NOT surrender fully to God. In I Samuel 15, Saul tries to stay in control…

  • Whole to a Part: Week Ten – The Greatest and the Least

    Boys look inward. Men look up. God will remember you. We wrapped up shift 3 this week by looking back at the two main ideas for this shift: Your life matters and should be full of significance. BUT, you are not the center of the story, so live with humility. One of the questions we…

  • Whole to a Part: Week Nine – Wrestling With Your Role

    Boys Question. Men Accept. God will confront you. Life can be hard sometimes. Death, sickness, infertility, loneliness, etc. are real things that are a part of life. In the midst of hard things, doubt can be a normal response. “I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react…

  • Whole to a Part: Week Eight – The Cost of Critique

    Boys shrink back. Men Rise up. God will give you courage. John the Baptist could have very easily faded into the background when Jesus arrived on the scene. However, he continued to be outspoken. Cale and I talked about habituation: When we become numb to the sin surrounding us because it has become so common…
