Summary

Episode 199 – Leave a Legacy “Legacy isn’t about what you leave behind. It’s about what you build into others while you’re still here.” As we approach the final chapter of the RFP journey, Episode 199 hits deep. JC Groves sits down with long-time friend and Word of Life missionary Caleb Cody for a powerful conversation on what it truly means to leave a legacy. This episode isn’t about platform, praise, or performance. It’s about presence. It’s about impact. It’s about choosing every day to live with intention, honesty, and grace — and trusting that God is writing something bigger than we can see. Together, JC and Caleb explore:What real legacy looks like — beyond titles and applauseHow deconstruction shaped the legacy they want to leavePractical ways to start building a legacy todayWhy it’s never too late to begin writing a better story This isn’t just another episode. It’s a moment. A pause to reflect. A space to breathe. And a reminder that your story, your influence, and your faithfulness still matter. Episode 200 drops next week, and it’s the final one. — www.recoveringfundamentalist.org Available wherever you listen to podcasts. YOUTUBE Video at the start of the episode

0:27.6	more powerful than God or more sovereign than God.
0:32.6	Redemption is not essentially for us. It is for us to be transformed into the bride of Christ

0:51.3	worshiping bride.
0:55.0	From the very beginning I realized that I didn't want my sermons locked into a zip code or a timestamp.
1:03.0	And I think the Word of God is timeless, so I'm grateful that there's a kind of timelessness.
1:08.0	The only way you know the difference between a new sermon of mine and one from 40 years ago is
1:12.6	I'm talking a little faster and my voice sounds a little higher.
1:15.6	I would never change anything.
1:18.6	A life of exhausting my understanding of scripture has yielded fruit in my life and my wife's, my children, and my family, and my church,
1:30.7	and far beyond. I'm only as useful as I am attuned to the truth that comes from heaven.
1:42.0	Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the recovering fundamentalist podcast. I'm your host, J.C. Groves.
1:47.0	Of course, that was a tribute put out yesterday in memory of the legacy of John MacArthur.
1:52.5	And it felt so well with today's episode, How to Leave a Lasting Legacy.
1:59.3	This is episode number 199. Can you believe it? One 99. Today's episode,
2:05.2	man, this one hit deep. Just one episode away from closing a chapter that has shaped my life in more
2:10.3	ways than I can explain. When this podcast started six years ago, I'll be honest, I was angry,
