  • The Fortified Life Podcast with Jason Davis - EP 188 | Pastor Brian Kluth | Helping Your Loved Ones and Those God Love
    2025/05/28
    🎙️ Show Notes:
    Fortified Life Podcast with Jason Davis
    Episode Title: Legacy Living and Giving: Helping Your Loved Ones and Those God Loves

    Aired: 05/28/2025
    Guest: Pastor, Author, and Speaker Brian Kluth
    Host: Jason Davis, aka Mr. Fortify

    🔥 Episode Overview:
    In this powerful Tools & Resources episode of The Fortified Life Podcast, Jason Davis welcomes back renowned pastor, author, and global generosity advocate Brian Kluth. Together, they take a deep dive into the topic of legacy living and giving—how to live a meaningful life rooted in faith, generosity, purpose, and preparation.

    With practical frameworks and biblically sound wisdom, Brian shares five critical points to help individuals and families eliminate chaos and confusion while building lives of impact and intentionality.

    🧱 Key Takeaways:
    1. FAITH Matters –"F.A.I.T.H. = Fantastic Adventures In Trusting Him" Faith is the foundation of the legacy life. Brian challenges listeners to embrace faith as a life of adventure with God, quoting Galatians 2:20 and John 10:10.
    2. FIND Your Purpose – Purpose is where passion, skills, resources, God's plan, and people's needs intersect. Brian shares a four-circle visual to illustrate how true purpose emerges from our talents, possessions, divine assignments, and the needs around us.
    3. FAMILY Matters –"Information is more important than wealth." Brian emphasizes the importance of preparing your family for the future with tools like the Because I Love You Legacy Organizer. A lack of preparation leads to chaos, confusion, and even financial loss.
    4. FOCUSED Giving –"Do your giving while you're living so you're knowing where it's going." Brian encourages regular, spontaneous, sacrificial, and legacy giving—emphasizing the importance of honoring God with both our income and accumulated wealth.
    5. FINISH Well –"Life is a three-legged stool: money, sex, and power. Lose one leg, and everything falls." To finish well, Brian advises listeners to pursue purity, generosity, and humility while maintaining a long-term, Kingdom-focused perspective.📚 Featured Resources:

    Original Air Date: Tuesday, May 7, 2025
    Airing Platforms: 🎙️ Jerry Royce Live on Mixlr (Live at 8:30 PM EST)

    🎧 Episode Overview:
    In this inspiring episode of the Fortified Life Podcast, we explore what it means to become an Encouragement Engineer. Host Jason Davis (Author, Speaker, Teacher, and Stewardship Coach) shares transformational nuggets of wisdom on how Encouragement plays a pivotal role in our spiritual walk, our daily lives, and our leadership.

    Using powerful examples from scripture and life experiences, Jason reminds us how quickly discouragement can strike—and how crucial it is to actively cultivate Encouragement in ourselves and others.

    🛠️ Key Lessons from the Episode:

    ✅ Encouragement must be continual – It's not a one-time act.
    ✅ Today is a golden opportunity – Daily matters to lift someone up.
    ✅ Encouragement softens the heart – It prevents hardness of Spirit.
    ✅ Encouragement should be part of our DNA – It must become who we are.
    ✅ Encouragers are generous people – giving generously of time, resources, and kindness. ✅ Encouragers are motivated by faithfulness to God – Faithfulness as a fruit of the Spirit.
    ✅ Encouragers are courageous people – It takes boldness to stand up for others.
    ✅ Encouragers see the best in people, just as Barnabas did with John Mark.

    📖 Scriptures Highlighted:
    • Hebrews 3:13 (Amplified Version)
    • 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (ESV)
    • Acts 4:36–37 (Barnabas the Son of Encouragement)
    • Acts 11:22–24 (Barnabas Encouraging Believers)
    • Acts 15:36–40 (Barnabas's Courage with John Mark)
    • Proverbs 11:25 (Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed)
    • Galatians 5:22–23 (Fruits of the Spirit)
    ✍️ Wisdom Takeaways:
    • Encouragement builds lives, relationships, and organizations.
    • Encouragement engineers function as teachers (simplifying wisdom), coaches (unlocking potential), and mentors (navigating life with experience).
    • Real Encouragement refreshes the soul—both the giver and receiver benefit.
    • Authentic Encouragement is rooted in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
    📣 Call to Action:Jason also invites listeners who don't yet know Christ into a relationship with Him, because real Encouragement and transformation begin with Jesus.
