Nancy Damas Walgimuth reminds you if you don't have God as the focus of your life

Nothing else matters life without God at the center is

absurd

It's meaningless, it's empty, it's frustrating, eating, working, relationships, any part of life, none of it makes sense and none of it provides any true satisfaction apart from God.

This is the Reviver Hearts Podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgner, author of A Place of Quiet Rest.

For June 12, 2023, I'm Ganna Gresch. Well, what are some of the best pieces of wisdom you've been given?

Nancy Damas Wargu's father gave her many principles to live by. He passed them down to her

and modeled them in his own life. She's sharing some of those principles to help us gain biblical wisdom in this series called Instruction of a Father.

While back I was asked to speak to a group of college-age kids and it happened to be Father's Day.

So as I thought about what I might share with these young people, I couldn't help but think about my own dad. I'd been thinking about him much of the day. My dad, who went to be with the Lord, it was on the weekend of my 21st birthday that I got the call that

my dad had had a heart attack and was instantly with the Lord. And as I was preparing to speak

to these kids, I was thinking about some of the things that my dad had taught

me in the first 21 years of my life and I realized how many of those insights and principles

the legacy he left to me, how much of that has stayed with me in an incredible

way since he's been gone.

I haven't heard him speak, I haven't been able to have him give me counsel, but he left a body of wisdom and counsel

and instruction with me and with my siblings that has been incredible in its influence on my life. It's been foundational. I've tried to

apply in my life the things that my dad and my mother I might add as well taught me during those early years of my life and I have to say

that I am reaping incredible blessings today in my life because of things that my dad and my mom taught me in those earliest years of my life.

So as I talked to those young people, I shared with them some of the things I want to share with you in this series, some things that

I want to pass on to the next generation.

I'm starting to think about what legacy I want to leave to the next generation.
