Building a Godly Legacy

When Pastor John Goodale turned age 60, he realized he wanted to make the most of his remaining years of life. In this broadcast, he recalls how many leaders in the Bible started out strong in their faith but failed to stay true to God by the end of their lives (eg. the kings of Israel, King Solomon, King David, etc.). Pastor Goodale explains how to leave behind a godly legacy through everyday kindness, rather than trying to become famous.
