What happens when your legacy ends with you? Pastor Charlie Davis believes that true legacy should live on after we're gone, passed to future generations rather than dying with its creator. In this deeply moving conversation, he shares profound insights from over three decades in ministry about building something that outlasts yourself. Pastor Davis new book "Hidden Blessings: Finding Your Passion After Experiencing Pain" is available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Growing up on Columbus's east side, Davis was shaped by a neighborhood where responsibility was shared and every adult could correct any child. With seven uncles and a father who was one of Columbus's first bishops, he witnessed authentic male leadership firsthand. These early experiences formed his understanding of accountability, strength, and provision that would later define his approach to ministry.
Davis doesn't shy away from his personal struggles. From surviving third-degree burns as a toddler to enduring six years of excruciating pain from a spinal condition, his testimony reveals how adversity became the soil for his greatest ministry opportunities. "God has gifted you an opportunity to do something for him today," he shares, "and we must steward it well." This perspective led him to co-chair the Ultimate Resource Network (TURN) and create Mannerism ministry, addressing the crisis of masculine identity.
Perhaps most compelling is Davis's passionate advocacy for "soul care" – a practice he believes is critically missing in today's leadership landscape. Through authentic accountability relationships and spiritual refreshment, he demonstrates how leaders can avoid the pitfalls that have damaged so many ministries and organizations.
Ready to build something that continues beyond your lifetime? Pastor Davis's journey offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for anyone seeking to leave a legacy that truly lives. His book "Hidden Blessings: Finding Your Passion After Experiencing Pain" is available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
