As a captive, Esther's dad faced low social standing, seemingly influenced only a few people, struggled financially, and probably faced physical problems (since he died young). None of these hindered his legacy to Esther. May we be people who embrace the values of a Godly legacy even, and maybe especially, during trials.

Remember to email me at brent@shepherdsfoldministries.com if you have a story about God bringing hope to you through a pastor.

Everyone can leave a Godly legacy. One characteristic that we learn from Esther 4:14 is that a Godly legacy is a gift to those to whom you invest, a gift of inspiration during life's trials. Even if you can't be there in person to inspire a loved one, your Godly legacy can be used by God to bring inspiration.

In this episode I encourage you to consider the "Because I Love You Legacy Planner" by Brian Kluth. It's a $30 value available at this website https://tinyurl.com/LegacyPlanner or for ministers for free through their membership in Shepherd's Fold Ministries. This resource is perfect for everyone, minister of not.

Next week's episode will be the first "Thank You, Pastor" episode in which you'll hear Rick Underwood share an inspiring story of the Godly Legacy of his former pastor impacting Rick at one of Rick's trying moments in life.
