Raised to Inherit: From Independent Children to Kingdom Heirs

By Gerard A. Smith

Some of us spend years trying to figure out what we were given, what we were supposed to become, and what we are supposed to leave behind.

RAISED TO INHERIT begins with a simple truth: you were born into something. Family patterns, beliefs, wounds, wisdom, money habits, expectations, technology, culture, and faith can shape a life long before a person is old enough to question them. But inheritance is not only about what came to you. It is also about what you choose to carry, change, steward, and pass forward.

This Kingdom Legacy Workbook takes that question seriously without making it heavy.

Across 46 chapters in Parts I-VI, Gerard A. Smith moves from the inheritance we did not choose to what it means to grow up, from the digital generation and AI to the inheritance of money, from honest family conversations to the Kingdom itself. The journey brings together Scripture, real-world questions, self-audits, Family Table conversations, activities, active recall, memory verses, practices, and a growing Letter to Future Generations.

You will be invited to consider questions such as:

- What did my family teach me before I could evaluate it?
- What should stop with me?
- What wisdom must continue through me?
- Am I preparing an heir-or simply leaving things behind?
- What is money for, and what does it mean to steward it?
- Who or what is forming the next generation?
- What does maturity look like beyond independence?
- What does it mean to belong to the Kingdom and live as an heir?

This is not simply a book about leaving money.

It is about becoming prepared to receive-and becoming intentional about what you leave.

The workbook is designed to be used alone with a pen or around a table with multiple generations. Parents, grandparents, young adults, teenagers, mentors, pastors, coaches, and educators can enter it from different places and find questions worth asking.

The experience is meant to be useful and enjoyable: a place to slow down, think clearly, talk honestly, discover what has been shaping you, and make wiser choices about what comes next.

You may find yourself looking differently at your family history.
You may see money differently.
You may ask better questions about technology, purpose, responsibility, and faith.
And you may begin to see inheritance as something much larger than assets.

This book may not be for everyone.

You may need it but not be ready yet.

It will be here when you are.

RAISED TO INHERIT is an invitation to examine what you received, decide what deserves to continue, interrupt what should not, and prepare the next generation for something greater.

What are you preparing the next generation to inherit?
What will be different because you were here?
