RegistrationsSUMMER OF GENEROSITY: Leading Generously
“Legend” refers to our own record and reputation in the world, where “legacy” refers to the impact we have for the kingdom of God. People who are concerned with their “legend” are likely focused on glorifying themselves, putting themselves in the record books, winning the applause of others. But a person pursuing “legacy” will be focused on influencing others in positive ways.
