It’s not Mother’s Day — but every day is a good day to honor the incredible love, sacrifice, and influence of mothers. In this episode, Steve Thompson reflects on timeless lessons from the classic book Pushing to the Front and explores how a mother’s love quietly shapes character, courage, and legacy.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” From the simplest bedtime stories to life’s toughest lessons, mothers build futures through unseen acts of devotion.

Steve invites listeners to pause and remember the woman who helped etch their legacy into being — whether she’s still here or lives on in memory. This heartfelt episode is a reminder that a mother’s love doesn’t just raise a child — it raises generations.

In this episode, Steve Thompson explores something simple yet profoundly powerful — the hug.
Why do some people tense up while others lean in? What does a hug really say about our willingness to love, forgive, and connect?

Through personal reflection and real-life stories, Steve challenges us to open our arms — literally and spiritually — to embrace others while we still can. A single hug can heal a wound, mend a relationship, and even leave a legacy that lives on long after we’re gone.

If you want to live a legacy of love, grace, and acceptance, it might just start with one small act — a hug. Visit: lighthouselegacies.com
