Discover How Intentional Parenting and Faith Can Shape Your Family’s Future
In a heartfelt conversation on the Christian Podcast™, Ben and Megan, founders of LegacyMakers, shared their inspiring journey of helping families build strong, faith-filled legacies. Since launching in 2020 amidst a global pandemic, LegacyMakers has been a beacon for parents seeking to raise their children with intention, faith, and purpose. Their story, rooted in prayer and a passion for generational impact, offers profound insights for families longing to create a lasting legacy.
A Bold Beginning in 2020
Starting LegacyMakers during the uncertainty of 2020 was no small feat. As Ben shared, “We were just feeling like God wanted something else for us in 2019, and we were praying about it.” The pandemic unexpectedly brought families together, creating a unique opportunity for LegacyMakers to provide resources and guidance. Megan noted, “Families were together more than ever during that time… it gave the opportunity for people to be like, what are we doing?” This forced togetherness highlighted the need for intentional family dynamics, setting the foundation for LegacyMakers’ mission to envision, encourage, and empower families.
The Power of Intentionality
One of the standout moments from the conversation was the emphasis on intentionality. Ben and Megan’s journey reflects a commitment to staying close to God’s guidance. “The one lesson that still guides my work today was always going back to God and making Him our direction and our focus,” Ben explained. This principle has shaped LegacyMakers into a ministry that helps families define their values and instill them in their children.
A touching story shared by the podcast host, Beto, illustrated this impact. Inspired by LegacyMakers, Beto took his sons on a challenging hike up a mountain, creating a generational memory. His son Dorian’s profound words, “Sometimes life is not so much about your destination, but really about looking back and seeing how far you’ve come,” captured the essence of legacy-building. This moment, filled with faith and connection, underscores how intentional moments can ripple through generations.
Addressing the Fatherhood Gap
A poignant moment in the podcast came when Ben shared a story about a little girl calling him “daddy” while playing soccer, only to learn her father was absent. “How does a little girl like this deserve to not have a loving father?” Ben reflected, revealing God’s call for LegacyMakers to support children without fathers. This vision for the future aims to provide fatherhood figures and foster faith that endures across generations.
Megan emphasized the broader cultural challenge: “People outsource everything… there is a longing for parents to be a part of raising their kids to know the Lord, but there is a lack of knowing how.” LegacyMakers fills this gap by equipping parents with practical tools and community support to disciple their children effectively.
Looking Ahead: A Vision for the Next Decade
As LegacyMakers celebrates five years, they’re preparing to unveil a 10-year vision in October 2025. This vision focuses on empowering parents as spiritual leaders and creating environments where faith flourishes. “We’ve been praying a lot about what that means for the future,” Ben shared. From in-person coaching to online courses, LegacyMakers is committed to helping families navigate challenges like disconnection and uncertainty in marriage and parenting.
The podcast also highlighted the power of community. Beto shared how LegacyMakers’ influence led his family to align with a school whose mission mirrored their own, a confirmation of God’s guidance. His wife, Mili, recounted a powerful moment when God spoke to her, affirming their family’s place in this community. This sense of community and shared purpose is at the heart of LegacyMakers’ work, encouraging families to live intentionally and build legacies they’re proud of.
Why LegacyMakers Matters
LegacyMakers isn’t just about parenting; it’s about creating a ripple effect that impacts generations. As Ben put it, “Everything you teach your son, you’re also teaching your son’s son.” In a world where faith often fades between generations, LegacyMakers offers hope, practical guidance, and a vision for families to set their hope anew on God.
Whether you’re struggling to define your family’s values, seeking to strengthen your marriage, or wanting to disciple your children, LegacyMakers provides the tools and support you need. Their story is a testament to God’s faithfulness and the power of intentionality in family life.
