Legacy is not about what you leave behind—it’s about who you launch forward. It’s not merely brick and mortar or balance sheet or brand equity. Legacy is the echo of faith down generations, the sound of heaven reverberating through boardrooms and homes, spreadsheets and sanctuaries. At its core, legacy is about courageously leveraging today’s opportunity to shape tomorrow’s testimony—for your children, your community, and God’s Kingdom.
In this podcast conversation, Dyl Jahnig introduces a profound pastoral-kingdom vision for what happens when faith-filled people in the marketplace embrace their eternal calling. It’s an invitation to build a life and business that outlasts you, to go beyond success and into significance—to move from striving for accolades to sowing into eternity. And the question isn’t just: “What will I build?” but “Who will be built because I lived and gave generously?”
The Ministry of What’s in Your Kitchen:
Ministry isn’t reserved for stages with microphones or pulpits with polished sermons. Ministry is simply stewarding what’s in your kitchen—and serving it faithfully to a hungry world. Whether you’re a CEO, a stay-at-home parent, a teacher, or an intern, the call is the same: What has God put in your hands, in your heart, in your history? That is your ministry. Your kitchen may hold a compelling product line, a talent for team leadership, or an uncanny ability to build trust and unity. It may house the wisdom of decades or the energy of a fresh start.
When David stepped up to face Goliath, Saul offered him his armor. But David knew better. He said, “I cannot go in these… I am not used to them.” It wasn’t false humility—it was holy confidence. David chose his sling, his stones, and the Spirit that had led him in the field. Why? Because you can’t walk into a battle trying to be someone you’re not.
Marketplace leaders—fight with your own weapons. Serve your way. Armor up in authenticity, not adequacy.
From Priests and Kings to Partners in Purpose:
The biblical picture of Priests and Kings is more than a metaphor—it’s a model. Priests represent the presence, and kings steward provision. When aligned, the sanctuary and society move forward together. It’s not clergy vs marketplace—it’s collaboration. Pastors carry heaven’s vision, businesspeople carry earth’s resources, and both carry the holy weight of intercession and investment.
This is the heart of Legacy at Linc Church: An incubator for kingdom innovation. A community where business leaders are both discipled and deployed, where entrepreneurial fire meets eternal flame. A space where large vision meets large-hearted generosity. And where your breakthrough bleeds into the breakthroughs of others.
When you sow your strength—your treasure, talents, and time—into God’s house, you’re not losing currency, you’re launching legacy. You’re stepping into the divine cycle of sowing into others so that “our ceiling becomes their floor.” Generosity, then, is not a transaction—it’s transformation. The world of the generous truly gets larger and larger—not just in financial capital, but in spiritual legacy, kingdom culture, and eternal impact.
Success Says, ‘I Made It.’ Significance Says, ‘They Will Make It.’
There’s a shift from earning a name to extending a name. From empire to embassy. From brand-building to bridge-building. In Legacy language, the question is no longer, “What did I achieve?” but “Who did I release?” It’s not just about clearing your mortgage… it’s about sponsoring a student who will change a nation. It’s not just about launching a product… it’s about launching a heart into hope.
Those who carry legacy live forward. They dream of Africa flourishing. They envision leaders developed. They give so that others may go. And they delight not in control, but in contribution. These are the kings and queens of the new kingdom economy—bold in enterprise, anchored in eternity, humble in heart, and hungry for impact.
So put down the armor that doesn’t fit. Pick up the stones forged in your faith journey. And step forward—not to build a name, but a legacy that rings through generations and rejoices in eternity.
You were born for more.
More than bottom lines. More than benchmarks.
You are called to build beyond business.
You are called… to legacy.

- Family: Legacy is generational. It’s not just about parenting, but platforming. Whether biological or spiritual children, our posture must be: “My ceiling will become their floor.” This requires speaking life, giving space, and sowing into others’ futures without needing applause in our own.
- This Week: Write a note or speak a prophetic word over a child, sibling, or younger leader. Ask God for a vision of their “moon” and declare it over them in faith.

- Future: You were not born to run someone else’s race or wear someone else’s armor. The future God calls you into requires your weapons, your wounds, your worship. Stop striving for someone else’s victory and press into divine strategy. Your calling is custom-built for kingdom impact.
- This Week: Take 30 minutes to fast from distraction and seek God about your next step. Ask: “Where are you calling me to move from comfort into courage?” Write it down and share it with a trusted leader or friend.
