When I started The Inspired Legacy, I felt God gave me the vision to help men understand the divine plans God had in store for them. So whenever I run across other men with the same Kingdom-minded purpose and passion, I want to call as much attention to what they’re doing as I possibly can. That’s what this show is about as I talk with Pastor IV Marsh. He’s the founder and CEO of the global men’s summit, IAM4. Listen in as we unpack this men’s movement toward God, and dive deep into Biblical masculinity and the specific roles God designed men.
In this episode, I talk with Senator John Thune. As someone in the spotlight and under constant scrutiny from the opposition, he has remained true to himself and his heritage, guided by his faith and conviction in Jesus Christ.

We also discuss why we must all remain prayerful as our culture continues to shift away from God at an alarming speed. There's a lot packed into this episode.

There are a lot of kids out there who lack a consistent father figure or anyone to help steer them through adolescence. This fact does not bode well for our society and is a huge threat to our nation. The good news is, change is possible through the power and impact of mentorship.

Leadership and fatherhood are one and the same, and they both require a degree of mental toughness—something every man should strive to develop, maintain, and instill into their kids.
