This series discusses the profound notion of "legendary living" by using Eric's father as a muse. He was not an extraordinary man in any earthly sense of the word, but his impact upon Eric's life was extraordinary. His everyday actions of love, care, patience, and self-sacrifice have been immortalized. Why? Partly because of how he chose to live his life, which was marked by exceptional decisions amidst a self-fogged generation. And partly because, as a son, Eric has chosen to remember it, cherish it, and pay tribute to it.
Each of us wants to to live a life that matters, generating an impact that is felt long after we are gone. It's a deeply human thing. But, most of us when it comes to living lives that really count, are unwilling to do what it takes. If we want to live a life that will alter and impact the world, we must be willing to go against the grain of culture. We must be willing to sacrifice human comforts. And we must be willing to forgo human applause. The truly legendary life is one that maximizes the value and importance of every action performed and every word spoken. It recognizes the desperate need for the power of Jesus Christ to be the enabling and equipping vigor behind every movement and deed.
This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric Ludy, recorded live in front of an audience.
