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.

  • January & February Badge / Challenge

    The challenge for January and February ties in directly with the whole to a part shift we just started. Over the next few weeks, Cale will meet with his Gran and Papa as well as Grammie and Gramps to interview them about their lives. He will also meet with his great grandparents, Mama Jean and…

  • Whole to a Part: Week One – Setting the Stage

    Boys overlook. Men seek. To find your place in God’s story you must understand God’s story. After a 2-week break for Christmas, Cale and I jumped back in to Lovett Legacy. This was the first break we have taken since we started Lovett Legacy back in August. I think Cale appreciated the chance to sleep…

  • Shift Three – Whole to a Part

  • Self to Others – Day of Service

    The Difficulty Day for Shift Two was a full day of service. I had 8 envelopes which I gave Cale throughout the day. On the outside of each was a quote which tied in to the next task he was to complete. Cale woke up at 7:45am on Saturday and made toast, sausage, eggs, and…

  • Self to Others: Week Ten – Lessons on Living for Others

    Boys are selfish. Men love. Cale and I wrapped up the shift from self to others. I could not be happier with how the first 20 weeks of Lovett Legacy have gone. Cale has been an absolute stud. Zero complaints, good conversation, even going above and beyond with suggesting we get up earlier for a…

  • Self to Others: Week Nine – Loyalty to Others

    Boys Bail. Men Remain. One of my biggest concerns with the longevity of Lovett Legacy was that the boys would grow weary of getting up early, the novelty would wear off, it would become increasingly difficult to keep them motivated, etc. Before bed last Sunday, Cale asked me if we could get up a little…
