Hey friends, welcome to the Marriage Minute on the Naked Marriage Podcast. Every Friday, we're dropping a new short episode to give you a quick jolt of encouragement for your marriage. This also serves as a sneak preview for this coming Monday's brand new episode. We hope you enjoy today's Marriage Minute.
My great-grandmother, I never met her in person. She was in heaven before I got here. She had very little money. You know, for a period she was a school lunch lady at my dad's school so she could see him every day and encourage him. Didn't have much of anything in terms of the way the world measures wealth, but her legacy through faith is something that has changed so many lives. And so legacy is more than leaving a bunch of money and having statues of yourself and having, you know, libraries named after you and all that. Like, I think legacy is something all of us are called to leave. And the most profound legacies, it isn't about statues. It isn't about your name carved in marble above buildings. It's about the love and the faith and the consistency that you've shown that shapes the generations that come after you.
Thank you for tuning in to today's Marriage Minute. I hope it was an encouragement to you. Don't forget to come back on Monday for a brand new full-length episode of the Naked Marriage Podcast. We'll see you then.
