My Mission
To honor the godly legacy of my family by sharing stories of faith, redemption, and unshakable hope, compelling my generation and the next to lead, love, and tell the most important stories of their lives before time runs out. My mission is fueled by a legacy I refuse to lose, a love that redeemed me, and a hope that outlives the grave.
A man shaped by funerals that felt like family reunions, now sharing that hope with the world.
I am eternally grateful for a God who forgives daily.

“I’ve learned that the people we love are the most important story we will ever tell. Don’t wait — tell it now.”
Steve Beal Sr.
Generation Jumping
“Losing Those Who Are Not Lost”
Don’t wait to tell the story. Honor the heroes in your life and pass on a living legacy of faith and hope.
Steve wrote Generation Jumping out of a growing urgency shaped by sacred moments in his own life. He was first stirred by family funerals that felt less like endings and more like celebrations — gatherings where faith turned grief into gratitude and hope stood stronger than loss.
His own journey of wandering and return deepened that calling. As a prodigal welcomed home by grace, Steve experienced firsthand the power of redemption and the love that restores what feels lost.
The final and most profound influence came as he watched his father — a devoted preacher — face the end of life with unwavering faith. Even as strength and words faded, hope did not.
Together, these moments formed a single conviction: time is short, stories are sacred, and the most important ones cannot be left untold.
A renewed sense of purpose, connection, and legacy.

Biography
Steve Beal Sr.’s faith journey began in childhood, where a strong foundation in Christ was laid early. Though he later walked through prodigal seasons, that foundation never disappeared — and over time, God gently restored what had been wandering.
Pivotal moments shaped Steve’s calling, beginning in 1985 at his grandmother’s funeral, where grief gave way to celebration and he first witnessed a legacy anchored in hope. Years later, after a quiet course correction in 2004, the true turning point came in 2008 at his uncle Carl’s funeral, where unconditional family love met him in brokenness and loved him back to life.
The final shaping chapter came as Steve cared for his father, a devoted preacher whose strength faded but whose faith never did. Watching his father face death with unshakable hope taught Steve how to live — and how to die — anchored in Christ.
Today, Steve writes and speaks with a humble, pastoral voice, sharing stories the way they were first shared with him — around kitchen tables and quiet fires — inviting others to honor their own family legacies and tell the stories that matter most.
