Come with us as we meet several men whose biographies show that they had a clear, brief, put powerful message for which they are known. This episode includes book recommendations as well as tips for finding your life message.

3. Seek God’s help in living it out.

• What principle guides your life?
• Do your wife and children know what your life message is and are they watching you live it out?
