In this episode, we dive deep into the question: What does it really mean to be a good person? Society often defines goodness as kindness or morality, but the Bible gives us a richer, more challenging perspective.

We’ll explore why true goodness begins with God, why human goodness falls short, and how the Holy Spirit produces real goodness in us. We’ll talk about practical ways to love others, avoid false goodness, and build a lasting legacy of faith and honor.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why only God defines true goodness (Mark 10:18)
• The difference between human “niceness” and biblical goodness
• How the fruit of the Spirit reveals true character
• Practical ways to love your neighbor as yourself
• The danger of counterfeit goodness (Matthew 23:27–28)
• Why being “good” is about faith, direction, and legacy, not perfection

Scriptures Mentioned:

• Mark 10:18
• Romans 3:23
• Galatians 5:22–23
• Matthew 22:37–39
• Micah 6:8
• Proverbs 13:22
• Matthew 25:23

Takeaway Quote:

“Being a good person is not about perfection—it’s about walking in God’s direction.”

In this urgent, legacy-driven episode of Let It Be: Legacy, we confront the broken narrative of children being the “future” when, in reality, they are the now. As a society, we’ve failed them—leaving them exposed to trafficking, online predators, and cultural confusion.

This episode gives you three actionable pillars to defend their present and safeguard their future:

1. Guarding against threats like trafficking and exploitation
2. Protecting through self-worth, affirmations, and faith formation
3. Educating—from financial skills to spiritual identity—right now, not later

• Trafficking surge: 31% rise in child victims; children now make up 38% of detected trafficking cases UNODCReutersWikipedia
• Online sextortion of children up 192% globally; Snapchat alone reported ~20,000 concerning cases in 6 months The Guardian
• Affirmations and self-defense as tools of empowerment
• Biblical mandate to safeguard and train children in faith and righteousness

• “Let the little children come to me…” (Matthew 19:14)
• “Train up a child in the way he should go…” (Proverbs 22:6)
• “Children, obey your parents…” (Ephesians 6:1)

• Parents fearful for their child's safety and spiritual growth
• Grandparents, educators, mentors wanting to champion children
• Christian leaders committed to building legacies through the next generation

• Set a digital “check-in” time with each child—speak affirming words and listen
• Incorporate daily affirmations: “I am loved,” “I am safe,” “I am chosen by God”
• Begin teaching financial basics—saving, spending, giving—even with pocket money
• Regularly share age-appropriate Scripture to reinforce their identity in Christ

We don’t leave children for later—they need us now.

Guard them. Protect them. Educate them—for today and for eternity.

🎙️ Episode Summary:

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we confront a topic that hits closer to home than many realize: Deception. Whether you're the one being deceived, doing the deceiving, or lying to yourself — this message is for you.

We break down the difference between Deceivers and Believers and challenge you to examine your own life. Are you living in truth or in a carefully constructed illusion? Are you being honest with God, with others, and with yourself? Or are you caught in a cycle of lies, self-deceit, and manipulation?

This episode explores:

• The many forms of deception: self-deception, spiritual deception, emotional manipulation, social deception, and relational betrayal.
• The rise of deceit in today’s culture and media (backed by recent stats).
• How men are especially vulnerable to deceiving themselves emotionally and spiritually by not confronting their wounds, sins, or masks.
• The biblical warnings about deception — from the Garden of Eden to Jesus’ teachings and Paul’s letters.
• How Satan is described as “the father of lies” and how deception is one of his greatest weapons.
• What it means to be a believer in truth — walking in integrity, humility, and wisdom through Christ.
• Practical steps to walk away from deception and embrace truth in your thoughts, relationships, and calling.

Key Scriptures:

• Jeremiah 17:9 – "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked."
• Galatians 6:7 – “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”
• 2 Timothy 3:13 – “Evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.”
• John 8:44 – Jesus calls Satan the “father of lies.”
• James 1:22 – “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”

Truth-Filled Takeaways:

• Stop playing both sides — Deceivers manipulate, Believers obey.
• Truth doesn’t bend — it stands firm even when culture shifts.
• Self-deception is the most dangerous kind — it feels like comfort but ends in destruction.
• You can’t break free from deception without surrendering to the truth — and that truth is Christ.

Action Steps:

• Take an honest inventory of areas you might be walking in deception.
• Confess to God where you've been misleading, lying, or hiding truth — even from yourself.
• Ask a trusted friend or mentor to speak truth into your blind spots.
• Choose to walk in the light — in business, relationships, leadership, and legacy.

Closing Reminder:

In a world full of deceivers, be a believer who lives in truth. Because only the truth will set you free.

👑 Calling Card:

“It all starts with me, so let it be legacy.”

In this inspiring episode, I reflect on all the things I dreamed of becoming when I was growing up: a fireman, cop, cowboy, even the president. As I got older, I wanted to be a football star, musician, and business owner. I chased so many dreams—not guided by calling, but by ambition.

This is your reminder: you can become anything… but what truly matters is that you become who God created you to be.

• Anyone feeling lost in their own ambition
• Those exhausted chasing popular dreams
• People longing for purpose deeper than position
• Anyone wrestling with legacy vs reputation

🎤 Closing Monologue:

“You can’t avoid pain. You can’t stop change. And you can’t outsmart death.

But you can live with wisdom, faith, and boldness.

You can suffer and still build.

You can change and still thrive.

And when death comes, you can say: I lived well. I honored the King. I finished my race.

So if you’re still breathing… you still have work to do.”
