Legacy Stories is a weekly podcast hosted by Steve Young about the family members who shape our lives and the lessons we carry forward.
Each week, one guest honors a family member whose life made a lasting difference in their own. Through touching, uplifting conversations filled with humor, resilience, love and hard-earned wisdom, we discover the stories of meaningful lives—and how their influence continues through the people who knew them.
Every story is different. Each one may leave you thinking about the people who shaped you.
Always There - Lynne Hughes Honors Her Aunt Patty Miller
Some people influence our lives through what they tell us. Others do it more quietly, through the way they respond when life becomes difficult and the way they continue to show up for the people around them.
Lynne Hughes joins Legacy Stories to honor her Aunt Patty, a woman whose faith, kindness and steadiness became more meaningful to Lynne as the years passed.

Looking back, Lynne can also see Patty’s example in the work she has devoted her own life to—helping children and families navigate grief.
Their story invites us to consider the people whose example becomes part of us, sometimes long before we recognize just how much of them we carry forward.
And stay with us after the story for a bonus conversation with Lynne about Comfort Zone Camp and their work with grieving children.

Her Own Way - Amy Lyles Wilson Honors Her Great-Aunt Vannie Hamblett
Some people influence us through the lessons they teach. Others shape us simply through the life they choose to live.
Writer, story coach, and spiritual director Amy Lyles Wilson joins Legacy Stories to honor her great-aunt Vannie Hamblett, a beloved and memorable presence whose example made a lasting impression on Amy from an early age.
Through Amy’s memories, we discover how one person can quietly broaden another’s sense of what is possible—and how the influence of someone dear to us can become even clearer with time.

A Place at the Table - John J. Thompson Honors His Grandmother, Nicki Holton
What happens when the welcome we receive becomes the welcome we give?
Steve sits down with author, musician, and educator John J. Thompson to honor his grandmother, Nicki—a woman whose home became a place of safety, conversation, music, and welcome.
Through John’s memories, we discover how the everyday rhythms of family life can quietly shape the people we become: the words we choose, the questions we ask, the music we love, and the way we make room for others.
