I was in Louisville for the D6 Conference on Oct. 16-18.  During that time, I posted several posts from various speakers.  I decided to group those posts based on topic for your convenience.  Below you will find the first of several themed posts from the D6 Conference.   The links in this post are on the topic of legacy.

When I was 4, as I was listening to my dad preach, I went forward to receive Christ. This was the highlight of my life. It is a dangerous thing for a young man to be too successful too quickly. My father was a moral compass and a lighthouse.  There is nothing more important than the gospel of Jesus Christ.
