One day, every one of us will leave behind two dates with a dash between them. But have you ever stopped to think about what that dash represents?

It’s your life. Your relationships. Your choices. Your faith. And the difference you make in the lives of others.

In this episode of Faith • Focus • Fortitude™, I share a powerful experience from a retirement dinner honoring a longtime customer and friend who spent 24 years building a successful business. What impressed me most wasn’t his accomplishments—it was the relationships he built and the lives he touched.

I also reflect on my own journey, including surviving a near-fatal motorcycle accident in 2018, overcoming challenges from my childhood, and discovering that God can use every chapter of our story for a greater purpose.

Through Jeremiah 29:11, we’re reminded that God has a plan for our lives, even when we cannot see what lies ahead.

In this episode, I challenge you to consider three questions:

● How are you using the time God has given you?

● Are you building relationships or simply collecting accomplishments?

● What kind of legacy are you creating through your faith, love, and service?

Your past doesn’t have to define your future, and your story isn’t finished.

The question isn’t how long your dash will be. It’s what you’re doing with it today.

If this message encourages you, follow Faith • Focus • Fortitude™, share this episode with someone who needs encouragement, and consider how God might use you to make a difference in someone’s life.

Until next time…

Keep Faith. Stay Focused. Apply Fortitude.

And… LOCK IT IN!
