“Impact for Living is spearheading an awakening in the lives of so many, an opportunity for finding our meaning and direction, a sense of who God created each of us to be. Praise be to God that my dear friend, Scott Whitaker, has included me in this effort.”

More about JB

We live in a world of incredible potential planted by the Creator in the hearts and minds of people from every walk of life. God intentionally created people with a passion to reach for the stars, to dream of great adventures and to achieve great accomplishments that would change their world.

So why is it that people of all ages, created and gifted by God for great things, live powerless, passionless lives in ruts of mediocrity and irrelevance? Too many reach the end of the journey leaving a legacy marked by never having reached their full God-given potential and purpose.

It doesn’t have to be that way! It’s not what God intended for us!

With two now grown rescue kittens, and one grown rescue puppy still in their home, after nursing the newest rescue kitty to better health, Lynda and I, with only puppies ever in our home, offered to keep him, our first kitty ever…

Always—Praise the Lord

Richard Smallwood wrote the song “Total Praise” during a dark, exhausting, no-light-in-sight period in his life. He was overwhelmed with grief, stress, anger, and hopelessness caring for his Mother and a dear friend, both terminally ill with cancer.
He began to compose it seeking Divine aid in his despair…

Turn to the God of Possible

It was a normal-looking tackle during the first quarter of the Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals, on January 2, 2023.  
But after making the tackle and standing back up for a few seconds, Buffalo Bills safety, Damar Hamlin, immediately fell onto his back and laid motionless on the playing field in Cincinnati…

Clint Hurdle

Former Manager, Pittsburgh Pirates

I have attended IFL conferences, been a part of weekly devotional conference calls (and even scheduled staff meetings around them) and I have seen firsthand the impact that IFL has had on the lives of others, and in particular, my faith as well as helping me focus on the impact of my legacy I was created to live every day.

Mike Mularkey

Former NFL Head Coach

I was honored to speak at two IFL conferences, but then found that I was energized by the men there, the questions they asked, and their desire to find their true calling and legacy…and how best to live that out. Impact for Living is touching and transforming lives!
