Deuteronomy - Seven Principles for Building a Meaningful Legacy

Tom Shrader presents six principles for building a meaningful legacy: consequence, authority, opportunity, duty, significance, and reverence, with stewardship added as a seventh. Drawing from his own conversion in 1980 and decades of pastoral ministry, he argues that every believer leaves a legacy whether intentional or not, and that true descendants are not limited to those who share our DNA but include all those within our sphere of influence. He calls the congregation to see themselves as stewards of God's resources — time, energy, and money — and to pass on these principles deliberately to the next generation. “You are leaving a legacy right now, whether you realize it or not. What I'm encouraging you to do is be much more deliberate about it.” — Tom Shrader Series: Scottsdale Bible Church Recorded in 2013 Duration: 45 min Themes: legacy, stewardship, influence, purpose, faithfulness, generosity, mentoring, significance, pastor, mentor, approaching retirement, church leader transitioning, parent, new believer, long-time believer, seeking purpose Topics: stewardship, biblical stewardship, sanctification, pastoral ministry, discipleship, church planting, spiritual inheritance, kingdom purpose Scripture: Galatians 6:7, Romans 13:1-2, Habakkuk 1:5, Hebrews 12:2, Philippians 2:20-21, Philippians 2:5-7, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, 2 Corinthians 5:14, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 5:6-10, Isaiah 6:1-8, Deuteronomy 6:4-7 — About Priority Living AZ — Priority Living AZ preserves the teaching legacy of Tom Shrader.
