You don’t drift into a strong family.
You build one on purpose.

In this week’s episode of Legacy Life with the Lacefields, Chad and Megan continue their Advance series by focusing on the second pillar that shapes legacy: family. They speak honestly about how easy it is to be advancing at work while slowly drifting at home, and why winning professionally while losing relationally is never a true win

Chad and Megan share their story of becoming parents young, choosing to fight for family despite broken backgrounds, and learning over time that alignment, not good intentions, keeps a family moving in the right direction. They explain why faith is the foundation, but family is often the first place pressure, distraction, and misalignment show up.

This episode challenges the idea that families fail because of bad intentions. Instead, Chad and Megan point out that most families struggle because there is no clear direction, no shared vision, and no intentional rhythms holding things together.

They unpack the powerful truth that presence matters more than perfection, especially in parenting and marriage. Kids don’t need packed schedules or more stuff, they need connection. Spouses don’t need grand gestures, they need intentional time and honest communication.

Using Joshua 24:15, they emphasize that strong families are led, not managed. Leadership at home doesn’t mean control or micromanagement, it means clarity, consistency, and choosing your family first, even when work, schedules, and responsibilities compete for attention.

Chad and Megan also share practical rhythms they’ve built over the years, including weekly calendar check-ins, intentional date nights, prayer walks, and simple habits that protect margin and connection. They remind listeners that if you don’t lead your family intentionally, something else will, whether it’s work, phones, sports, or busyness.

This episode is both a wake-up call and an encouragement. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be present, willing, and intentional.
