What will your life echo after you’re gone? In this fourth episode of the Caleb Series, we shift from Caleb’s personal victories to the ripple effects of his faith. Caleb’s consistency didn’t just secure an inheritance for himself—it laid a foundation for generations to come.

You’ll learn why legacy isn’t built in big moments but in the quiet, steady acts of faith and leadership lived out over time.

This episode also includes a personal story from my own journey of consistency—how staying faithful to my calling through this podcast and daily Swellcast has opened doors to encourage others and spark fresh faith in their lives.
