Redefining Legacy: What You Set in Motion Matters for Eternity

Join Shannon Bream as she welcomes David Green, founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby, and Bill High, CEO of Legacy Stone, to discuss their new book, The Legacy Life: Learning and Leading Your Family to Make a Difference for Eternity. Together, they redefine legacy as “what you set in motion”—not something reserved for the wealthy or those with children, but a calling for every person, regardless of age, income, or family situation. David shares the deeply personal story of crying in his backyard, burdened by stewardship questions, until God asked him, “What would you do if the Jones family owned Hobby Lobby?”—a moment that transformed his family’s understanding that they own nothing and are simply stewards. Bill explains practical legacy practices like defining a family vision statement (David’s family: “God, family, and others”) and gathering annually to celebrate and renew those values. With their family now 47 members strong across four generations, David and Barbara’s 64-year marriage demonstrates how legacy thinking impacts eternity—offering hope and practical tools for anyone ready to discover God’s purpose and set something powerful in motion for generations to come.
